Hello, I've been chipping away at this problem for a couple of days, didn't have enough time to stick with it straight through. I'll include links at the end of the message, but here is a summary. If you already have these first two records, I apologize, but I didn't want to leave them out.: I found Wm and Sarah Prosser in the 1850 census in Bloom, Columbia, PA. Also, possibly Elizabeth's sister, although the husband's name is wrong. But the names of the children, taken together, seem to fit this family. They too are in Bloom. I found a candidate for John and Elizabeth in Montour County, PA, which was formed from Columbia in 1850. His age is a little off, but her's looks right. Unfortunately, there are no children listed. This location in Montour Co., isn't too far from Bloom (Bloomsburg), Columbia Co. I've provided a link to an 1850s map of the two counties. Bloomsburg is a little yellow area in the middle of Columbia Co. Also, the pagenweb.orgWeb site, similar to Genuki, has information about the two counties. On the same page, there’s a Thos Davis, 21, puddler, born in Wales, possible son of John and Elizabeth?
