Matilda Tracy

TRACY, SLOAN, COY, BENNETT, DINWOODIE

I recently found on CENSUS data for YEAR: 1856 STATE: Iowa COUNTY: Clinton DIVISION: Lyons Township
568 24 114 115 William Sloan (b 1823) 33 M 18 Penn Carpenter
568 25 114 115 Jernsia Sloan 26 F 17 Ohio
568 26 114 115 George W Sloan 5 Iowa
568 27 114 115 Mary E Sloan 1 Iowa
568 28 114 115 Matilda Tracy 21 15 Illinois

This shows Matilda Tracy (daughter of William and Lovina (Coy) Tracy) having lived in Lyons, Clinton Co, Iowa for 15 years, but I have no idea why she is living with the Sloan family. Is there a family connection between the Sloans and the Tracys, or was she a border, or perhaps had her parents died? Can anyone help me with this?

Matilda then m Moses Thurston Bennett 25 Sep 1859 in Clinton Co, IA. I'm wondering why Matilda is not living with her parents--they are the ones I'm trying to find--William Tracy and Lovina Coy who m 26 Jan 1831 in Connersville, Fayette, Indiana.
