In the 1870 census there are boxes to indicate Father or Mother of foreign birth - the Grims were rumored to be from Germany - but no boxes were ticked. That may in part be because of a lazy Enumerator. There is also a box to indicate school attendance and that is not ticked either even though there are many school aged children on the census page.
Notice also at Sophronia is born in Oregon in 1860 census and Iowa in 1870.
Oregon is the correct answer for her state of birth.
