Widow Elizabeth MOYER (c1783-1850s) in Union/Snyder Co PA
In the 1850 census of Perry Twp., Union [now Snyder] Co., PA, there is a widow, Elizabeth MOYER (æ 67, b. PA).She is living with her married son, John MOYER (28,PA), his wife, Susannah (27,PA), and their son, Henry MOYER (2,PA), plus Elizabeth's unmarried son, William MOYER (20,PA).They are listed next to Mary "Polly" (MOYER) ICKES, widow of Felix ICKES, whom I take to be Elizabeth's daughter.
I believe Elizabeth's son, William, is the William M. MOYER who, by 1860, had married Anna TROUP, daughter of John TROUP and his second wife, Catharine (John's first wife was Anna Maria SHAFFER).William & Anna (TROUP) MOYER are in the 1860-1880 censuses of Snyder Co., PA, and appear to have had no surviving children.
Mary "Polly" (MOYER) ICKES's daughter, Nancy ICKES/EKAS, married Peter TROUP, son of Peter TROUP & Sarah S. HERROLD.The senior Peter TROUP was first cousin to the Anna TROUP who married William M. MOYER.
Does anyone know Elizabeth's maiden name or the given name of her husband?Can anyone confirm that Mary "Polly" (MOYER) ICKES and William M. MOYER (husband of Anna TROUP) were her children?
