He is not in the Slave Schedule. Lucy's age is clearly '48', but the thickness of the long vertical stroke suggests that '4' may be a mistake and that the age was intended to be '18.

In 1870 M. E. Grinstead (54, Ky) is living in Hart Co., Kentucky in the household of her daughter Lucy A. Wade (26, Ky) and her husband W. D. Wade (28, Ky, $300/$140, Farmer).
