Herman Lear and the 1880 census

A couple of farms away is Conrad's brother Herman. It appears to me that they had moved from Manitowoc to Oconto County pursuing farm work.

Are you still researching the Lear family? My mom was a Lear before she was married, she grew up on the farm on Sampson Road, identified on the plat map you found from 1880. My grandfather was Fred Lear, obviously a descendant of either Herman or Conrad. Not sure which one. I haven't been able to find out much. Records are sure sketchy from back then.
