This could be a Iowa state census. Jonathan S. SOWDER married Margaret RATLIFF, 23 Mar 1844 in Jackson Co IN. He was in the 1850 Jackson Co IN census. Jonathan must have died between 1852 and 1860. Notice that in 1870 Jane Sowder was living with a Ratcliff family and was 14 years old. Could Margret who was 4 in 1860 have been named Margret Jane?

863/903 Richard Shuck 49 M Farm Laborer 300 Kentucky Elizabeth " 37 F Pennslyvania Emily J. " 3 F Iowa Jane 1 F " Wesley Sowders 20 M Farm Laborer IndianaThis Wesley may have been Jonathan Sowders' half brother William W. This is just a guess, because I don't know where William W. Sowder went to after he appeared in the 1850 Jackson Co Indiana census with his parents and was 11 years old. I suspect that William W. Sowders' father, Jacob, died prior to 1860 so Wesley may have decided to move along with his half brother.
