The 1880 census information is copied from www.familysearch.org. Note that the birthplace of the children's parents don't match the birthplaces of Joseph and Mollie. It is not known why this is not consistent. It appears from examining the actual microfilm that "Alabama" and "Georgia" were crossed through. Also noted that seven year old Watter M was shown as a male on the microfilm and on the transcription below, but in the Toole and Speights transcription, the 7 year old child was instead listed as Mattie M, female.
