Sue, In my records I show the following: 1860 Snyder County census. Washington Twp Straub, Samuel (age 21), Sarah (age 22) and Pharus (1 year-old) 1870 Snyder County census they appear to be gone, apparently to Ohio. But be careful, as there is another Samuel Straub in Washington Twp (age 22 in 1870) with wife Sarah (age 19 in 1870) and family Emory (7), Alsina (4) Lewis (2). 1850 Union County, Washington Twp. Isaac (31) Sophia (33) with Eli (10), Samuel (9), George (6), Sussanah (4) andMatilda (1). So it appears that Pharus was son of Samuel and Sarah, grandson of Isaac and Sophia. Hope that helps.
