I am wondering if Eli Sherer b 1833 , son of Dr Eli Scherer , is known later as Eli Cress. After his father died in 1849 he was living with Jacob Cress, his uncle. Later in the census 1870 and 1880 I wasn't able to find Eli Scherer but there was an Eli Cress born about the same year as Eli Scherer. I am wondering if Jacob Cress maybe adopted Eli. Anyone know? Et
