I found him in 1870 census but I don't have access to the census records. You might see if someone else does. Since he was single he probably still lived at home. In 1880 I notice he is widowed with a 4 yr old son.I am not sure I have the right person in both those census records.

You might try to get his death record. It should be at the county court house. Usually parents are named there.
If you go to this website there are some articles that mentions him. Not his parents though.
There are two articles about him at:
