Gerald,

There is no sign of Rebecca or Benjamin Howland in 1870 Wisconsin. Nor any Busey's or similar in 1870 Grant Co.

The 1870 MO census lists a Rebecca Howland in Lagrange, Lewis Co., MO, Page 673.

The 1870 IA census lists a Benjamin F. Howland in 1 W. Cedar Rapids, Linn Co., IA, Pg. 123 and a Benjamin Howland in Cass, Cass Co., IA, Pg. 67.

But, Rebecca and children do seem to be in 1880 Iowa.
