A Wilson Family Tree
Notes for Elizabeth Kanouse
In the 1850 census, Elizabeth (Eliz Knaus, age 20) is listed with the Roat family (James, age 38, and Anna, age 70, presumably James' mother) in Hemlock Township, Columbia County, Pennsylvania. I don't know why she was with them, but apparently was not yet married to James. She and James must have been married soon afterwards since daughter Clara was born in November 1851.
The Columbian (Bloomsburg, PA), 18 Jun 1869, p. 3 (obtained from Newspapers.com):
DEATHS.
ROAT -- At Buckhorn, June 4th, Elizabeth K. Roat wife of James Roat, aged 40 years 3 months and 25 days.
