It is 1880...Do You Know Where Your Ancestors Are?

As a followup to my 1900 post, I've decided to look at where my direct line ancestors were living in 1880. I've not included source citations or biographical details on these individuals, largely because I don't want the post to be any larger/longer than it already is. 

At this point in time, all my ancestors were in the United States except one: Jans Janssen. They were all in Hancock or Adams Counties in Illinois, except for Benjamin Butler who was living in Missouri. I may work up posts earlier in time as well, just to see how they areas of residence changes over time. I was not too surprised to see that with the exception of five, they were all in two Illinois counties.
