Three of their children were David, Lucinda, and Elizabeth A. Dewalt Mitten. Isaac was a shoemaker, and is listed as such in the 1850 census in Mifflin township, Cumberland County, PA. Elizabeth and Lucinda were still at home. Elizabeth A. Dewalt Mitten married Adam Miller (son of Adam Miller and Barbara Hildebrand). In 1900 they were still in Mifflin Township, Cumberland County. This marriage brought Elizabeth into the local Miller/Foltz lines - all of whom were farmers until about the 1920s. I have a friend who is a Miller from this line I have been doing this research for, and her family is mostly still in the Carlisle/Newville area. Elizabeth's mother - Elizabeth Dewalt Mitten - is descended from Johannes Dewalt. Johannes arrived on the Carteret from Rotterdam in 1744. He was from Germany. The lines go: Elizabeth Dewalt John Dewalt Johannes Dewalt There is a very good webpage outlining this line on: http://familytreemaker.genealogy.com/users/d/o/r/Mary-D-Dorsey/GENE13-0001.html Rebecca
