Charles H. Fonda is an 18 year old male, born in Louisiana, a clerk in a hardware store. Betty Fonda is 16, at home, born in Louisiana. John L.

Per 1880 US Census: 6/2/1880, 179 Constance St, New Orleans, Louisiana
Jane Simms is the 64 year old white female head of household, a widow who keeps house. She was born in Louisiana, her parents in Ireland. Living with her are 5 of her children, all single, all born in Louisiana:
29 year old son, Chas. Fonda, a clerk, father born in England, mother in New York
24 year old son, John Fonda, a clerk, father born in New York, mother in Mississippi
27 year old daughter, Elizabeth, at home, father born in New York, mother in Mississippi
18 year old daughter Aceneth, at home, father born in New York, mother in Mississippi
11 year old daughter, Amnita, at home, father born in New York, mother in Mississippi.
No explanation at this time why the kids are listed as Jane's sons and daughters, or why Chas, parents were born in different sates from the others.
Interesting, though, is the next door neighbors at 181 Constance include 19 year old Lucius Harris, who 6 years laters married Asenath (Aceneth on this page) Fonda.
