Gwen, I got this message from Jim Burnell. Does this then tie into anything that you have with Isaac and Sophia as Samuel's parents? The 1850 census shows Samuel as 9 years old and the 1860 census shows him as age 21 -- that's a little discrepancy in the age but I am sure that is partially because of the dates the census was taken and also information either written down by the census taker or someone giving wrong information on the age when he was 9 years old. I'd love to hear from you. With warmest regards, Sue Steward --------- Forwarded message ---------- From: jeem@uswest.net To: STRAUB-L@rootsweb.com Date: Mon, 18 Dec 2000 16:33:45 +0100 Subject: Re: [STRAUB] SOPHARUS (PHARES) STRAUB Message-ID: <3A3E2E57.B7B69D28@uswest.net> References: <20001216.222526.-182441.1.nssteward@juno.com> 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.
