Nathan CONFAR Self M Male W 35 PA Clothing Merchant PA PA (this is an 1880 census. If he were 35 in 1880, his birthdate would be c1843), so itappears that Elizabeth could have been his mother if she were born c 1825.
Nathan was in the Civil War. May I suggest you write for pension records to see if he lists his parents. You might also request his birth or death certificate which may name his parents.

PENSION ROLLS OF 1883
The following file is transcribed from the published List of Pensioners on the Roll, January 1, 1883, Volume II, pages 527 to 536, for Berks County, Pennsylvania. This list is not inclusive of all Civil War pensions granted by the U.S. government. Additional pensions were granted after January 1, 1883, and some Civil War pensioners were deceased by this date and thus will not appear on this roll.
The 1883 roll also includes several veterans and widows who were receiving pensions for service during the War of 1812. The pension certificate numbers as reported on this list have not been verified with current records maintained at the U.S. Archives and should not be used to request pension records. The cause column provides the reason for which the pension was granted (wound, injury, disease) or lists the relationship of pensioners who were next of kin to those killed or who died while serving in the army or navy. The rate reported was the monthly amount received by the pensioner and the date provided is that of the original allowance.
Abbreviations used in the 1883 pension roll:
Pensioner Certificate Post Office Cause Rate Date
Confer, Nathaniel T. 146,174 Hamburg g.s.w. l.arm $6.00 01/1877
g.s.w. gun shot wound left arm
