Joseph McFalls to Missouri

My Great grandfather Joseph McFalls left Rhea County before 1880, because he is found in Oregon County, Missouri Census Sheet 6 Line 29 in 1880. From some of the family members, he was a Mormon. As you can see three of his children were born in Missouri. I have always wondered why they moved to Missouri and then moved back. If any one knows anything of this family please contact me.
