The problem is they both died in 1856, so the 1850 is the only census I have to go on. I've also checked county histories, etc., but they don't say anything about Delaware. I'm not real good with my history, but think parts of DE and PA were interchangeable back then. I mean, I think the border counties probably changed and the part that they called Delaware might have been in PA a few years later. Anyway, I'm still working on this problem, so I appreciate any ideas anyone might have. Thank you,
