Here is Sarah McCue, John Abraham's wife in 1850... if you note the daughter Catharine is born in IA and is 8 years old..which confirms about when they arrived as you said in 1842. Margaret was born after the father's death but within the time period that would have made Sarah pregnant when he died, again as you said. 1850 US Census, Center Twp, Henry Cty., IA Pg 189 Enumerated on 30th day of August 1850 417/417 Sarah Abraham 44 F Farmer 3000 PA Susan Abraham 18 F OH Rebecca Abraham 16 F OH Sarah Abraham 14 F OH Lotta Abraham 12 F OH John Abraham 10 M OH Catharine Abraham 8 F IA Margaret Abraham 6 F IA Hugs Cuz B [email protected] http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~ttg13/ "'Life isn't about how to survive the storm, but how to dance in the rain "
There is actually a mistake in the census. I checked and the error is in the original document. The "female" Lotta listed is really a male, Lot Abraham, who was 12 years old at the time.

I feel admiration for her. Farming by herself and raising a family of 7 kids. She was made of tough stuff.
