In the 1850 census, they are living in Ripley county, township of Brown. Nancy's age is listed as 18 (b. IND). One child is listed for them: Barnabas Eller, age 7/12. John and a son, Lafayette (b. 1850, IND) are living without Nancy in Iowa in 1860 census. John is married to another woman. I'm trying to find out which Dowers family Nancy belonged to.
