He resided Des Moines, IA."

George and Amanda later moved in with daughter Mary and son-in-law Phillip McClellen in Harvey, IL, and can be found on the 1910 US Census. He was a horse trainer, as was his son-in-law Phillip.

Although a George was living next door to Robert, he may not have been Robert's brother George, since the former's family members do not match what we know of the latter. If this is not the right entry, then George and family are missing from the 1860 census.
