Notes
Marriage
Both Joseph and Elisabeth were from Brush Valley, were married by Rev. P. S. Fisher.Census
In the 1850 Census (18 Oct 1850) Joseph was 40 years old and a farmer, Elizabeth was 32; the children Amos, 10; John, 8; Mary, 7; Sarah, 5; William, 3; and Danial 1. Elizabeth Weaver age 54 was also living with them. I presume that Elizabeth was Elizabeth Myers mother, and her husband was dead. Also a George Weaver was a Laborer. My mother had always said that Joseph and Elizabeth had a son named George. This could be the reason for the information she gave to me. It is quite possible that George was Elizabeth Weavers son and Elizabeth Myers sister.Census

Letter from Mrs. Cleve Snyder to Librarian. "---- Grandfather died at the age of 50 yrs, and left her on the farm located near Boalsburg where she lived for some yrs. with her sons who tried to manage the farm. This evidently didn't work out very well and a few years later she moved to Boalsburg with the family. --- Grandmother was rather tall, and rather a large woman. ------Peace had been declared, but it hadn't gotten all over the battle field, and Uncle Amos was killed after peace had been declared. They also had called another son the (3rd one) and Grandmother wouldn't submit to this because she had already fiven two sons Uncle Amos and Uncle John. Uncle John however got home safely."Census
