I have recently found a Naomi Depew (age 55)on the 1850 Allegheny Co census. She was living with her son Cornelius(34), his wife Elizabeth(21) and their son James(1). I believe this to be the same woman who also appears on the 1870 MN census at age 77. Then living with her daughter Mary Hoffman (47) Mary was married to John Hoffman (1813-1863). I believe he also came from Pittsburgh. He was a river boat captain for a while in Ohio and came to MN in 1852. They had their first two children in PA Lavina in 1840,PA(could be from a first wife)and John 1843,OH, Harriet 1846,PA. By 1849 they were in Indianna.MAry and John had four more children: Cornelius (1849,IN), Thomas (1851,IN), Andrew (1854,MN)Oliver (1859,MN).
