I looked it up on Ancestry searching the 1850 Census for Rensselaer and also ran the other names as well. But, if your ancestor had a child prior to the 1850 Census date, you might be able to find her. The question is where. And my ISP [in Canada] cuts off any other ISPs who allow spam forwarding - they even once cut off Telia who is the Swedish ISO [for all of Sweden, I think].
