Since the Nancy listed as John Eller's wife was only about 18 in the 1850 census, she probably doesn't belong to either Jacob or Conrad. In a later census, John Eller is listed as not being able to read or write, so while it is possible that the birthdate of Nancy is a bit off, it probably wasn't too far off. But, I would appreciate having the information about the Jacob and Conrad Dowers' families. That will at least help me keep some information straight as I try to find out who this Nancy Dowers was and what happened to their son Barnabas. Thank you.
