Other Details: Isaac is about 20 years older than his wife Mary. In 1850, he is married to "Catherine".2 Presumably daughter Mary is Catherine's since wife Mary would have been only 14 years old when she was born. Further, in 1900, Mary notes she only had one child. Mary does not appear to be living either with Isaac or her father Peter in 1860 at age 18. It is not clear where she is. Isaac & Mary are buried in Nockamixon Cemetery.
