In 1880 Green, Hocking Co, OH, Noah, Rosecran and Alice are the only siblings still at home, but if you look in the same loaction in 1870 you will find that the family was larger.
In 1870 the father was listed as Jake, not Jesse:
ROBY, Jake age 51 b. OH
Mary age 46 b. OH
Catherine age 19 b. OH
Mary age 16 b. OH
John age 14 b. OH
Benny age 12 b. OH
Noah age 9 b. OH
William R. age 6 b. OH
Alice age 1 b. OH
In 1860, same location, the household is:
ROBY, Jesse age 40 b. OH
Mary age 35 b. VA
Louisa age 17
Elizabeth age 15
Hester age 11
Catharine age 8
Mary age 6
John age 4
Henry age 2
There's an OH marriage recorded in 1842 for Jesse ROBY to Mary NUTTER in Hocking Co.
In 1850 they were also in Green, Hocking, OH:
ROBY, Jesse age 30 b. OH
Mary age 26 b. OH
Louisa age 6
Elizabeth age 5
Hester age 4
Sarah age 1
Amos age 13
Since 1850 doesn't list relationship to head of household, it's difficult to say whom Amos was, possibly a nephew or younger brother.
A couple of households away, on the previous page of the census, there's a Perry ROBY, age 25, Mary, 23, Wm., 4, and Jesse, 1.
