A search of the 1850 census in New York state could find no match. One can assume Aaron & Elizabeth were married ca 1848/9 and perhaps living in New York or another state at the time of the 1850 census. Their oldest child Mary Elizabeth, was b c1850/1 in New York.
Their next child, Charles Henry, was b. in Wisconsin, September 15, 1853.

Johnson was part Indian, however to date we have found no records to say just who Elizabeth was. Elizabeth Johnson was b. c1827 in NY and she d. on, or about the 26th day of April, 1864, Union Prairie Township, Allamakee co., Iowa
