The 1885 Iowa state census shows the following.
Mahaska Co., Union...
William Pilgrim, 58, b IN
Lydia, 48, b IN
John, 23, b ??ka (as indexed...all the children have ??ka...the actual image looks like the last part of Mahaska to me; i.e., born in Mahaska Co., IA)
Sarah Catherine, 20
Cory, 16 (female)
Dora, 14
Semantha, 12
Edwin, 10The age of Dora listed here fits with your initial post.
There also is a separate family, John R Pilgrim, 26, b IN and wife Mary, 26, b IL listed as living at Garfield. This could be an eldest married son of the William and Lydia above.
