See Priscilla's notes for later census readings for this family.
Census Notes for Priscilla Fultz
1870 census of Rowan Co., Ky, Christy Creek precinct, lists as family #31:
Priscilla Fraley, 39, farmer; William, 21; Francis, 17; Lafayette, 14; John M., 11; James, 9; Mary, 7; Bob Lee, 6; Richard, 3; George, 2/12, born April. All born in Kentucky.
(William through Mary should be two years older than the ages given here, judging by the 1860 census and Mary's April 1861 birth record. So Bob Lee and Richard may really be older as well.)

I haven't found this family in 1880. They were not in Rowan or Elliott County.

1900 census of Rowan Co., Ky, Hoggtown precinct, p. 241A, lists as family #189:
Fraley, Priscilla, 62, b. 1838, farmer, widowed; Jane, dau, 37, b. Dec 1862, single; Cox, Amos, boarder, 45, b. 1855, married (but no wife in the household). All born Ky Ky Ky.
(This is a joint household, #187. It also contains family #190, Mason Fraley & wife Ellen.)

Priscilla is listed in the 1910 census as age 84, widowed, mother-in-law, with her daughter Mary J. and son-in-law Amos Cox.

The index to Kentucky Death records lists Precilla Fraley, died 10 May 1919 in Rowan Co., age 100, certificate Vol 35, #17164. (The age at death is inconsistent with all census records. The 1850 and 1860 censuses imply a birthdate around 1830; the 1910 census implies one around 1826.)
Notes for Wilson & Priscilla (Family)
Carter County marriage records list Wilson Fraley and Priscilla Fults on 24 Dec 1846. (From Automated Archives CD #2; I haven't checked the actual marriage books.)
