Notes:

In the 1870 Census listed with Samuel and older children is Lucinda age 10 and Bettie age 3. His wife Elizabeth died in Mar 1860 and naturally is not listed in the 1860 Census which was taken in August. If Elizabeth was the mother of Lucinda her birth likely was around the same time as Elizabeth's death. Therefore she should have been listed in the 1860 Census. Perhaps Lucinda, being cared for by a relative, wasn't living in the household at the time of the census. That too seems strange since the two older daughters could have taken over the care of the infant. The mother of Bettie is a mystery. By 1880 Samuel is remarried to a 48 year old named Mary. None of the children are living with him, not even Bettie who would be about 13 years old.

Samuel married Elizabeth ZENTMYER 27 Nov 1839, St. Peter's Lutheran Church. Elizabeth (daughter of Daniel ZENTMYER and Mary Margaret ZIEGLER) was born 23 Mar 1820, Quincy, Pennsylvania; died 01 Mar 1860, Blair's Vally Washington Co., Maryland. [Group Sheet]
