Hello Eliz and List, Yes, John and Elizabeth are lost in 1850. I found them on the 1860 US Census:1860 US Census, Bloom, Columbia Co, PA Image 23 Elizabeth age 50 and John Davies age 53 (Davis) and Sarah Prosser age 76 -Eliz's mother (All born Wales) Birthplace: Wales Bloom, Columbia Co, PA Post Office: Bloomsburg Note the name is spelled Davis in 1860. As you can see, in 1860 there are no children listed with Elizabeth and John, only her mother, Sarah Prosser. Elizabeth and John were married in 2 Nov 1834 in Llanelly, BRE. I believe they emigrated around 1840-1844. There is an Elizabeth Prosser (not Davies) on the same ship Pocahontas arriving Aug 1844 Philadelphia. Elizabeth's parents, William and Sarah Prosser, are on this ship. Also, Mary (Prosser) Lewis, Elizabeth's sister. So, this could be Elizabeth Davies, known as Prosser on the ship manifest. Age 30 is about right for her. But, there is only one page to this manifest and no Davies children present. John is not on this page, but neither is Mary Prosser Lewis's husband, Henry, so perhaps the brother-in-laws came to America earlier...... Between the emigration time and the 1860 census, I can't find Elizabeth and John Davies. They almost surely lived in in a county of Pennsylvania not far from the 1860 abode of Columbia Co. I appreciate any assistance in locating Elizabeth and John and any children before or after 1860.

Have you checked the census with familysearch? Sometimes you can find names there that can't be found on Ancestry or HQ. Also is the Mary Davis on the Pocahontas related? Or could they just have been careless in the manifest? Things were not so formal then and people could pretty much come and go as they please.
