I'm looking for someone with connection to Henry and Ellen Sowash. I found them while trying to find Zula Nevell Sowash who married John B. Larrimore. I believe that may have found Henry listed in the 1850 census living in the Western Penetentiary of Pa on the charge of burglary. I found Henry and Ellen listed in the 1860 Centerville, Butler County, Pa census with children Peter age 7, Kansas age 5 and Samuel age 2. In 1870 I found them listed with children Harrison age 16, Z.E. age 14 and Samuel age 12. In 1880, still in Centervieville, it appears that the first two children had left the home and only Samuel shows up still living at home at the age of 21. Since we have to skip the 1890 census, in 1900 I find Henry living with son and daughter-in-law Peter H and Mary Sowash and children. I have not yet found a death cert for Henry and in 1910 he is no longer living with Peter so my guess is that he passed between census recordings. Peter and Mary's children were Edward, Clarince, Berd, Margaret, Alice, Syntha, Paul, Annie and Penzy. Henry's wife Ellen passed in 1888, I was able to track down a copy of her will. In it she states, pending Henry being alive or not, that she was leaving certain items and control of the estate to son Peter Harrison Sowash. She also talked about leaving items to daughter Zula Larner and son Samuel Sowash. The 1880 census also listed Zula and husband John as Larner instead of Larrimore. Samuel I have not had a chance to start trying to track down yet. Because of certian things matching up I feel that I have a match between the Will and the family listed in the Butler County census records. I'm wondering if anyone else is researching this family and has found the same info or not, or if they have found more info on Henry.
