this was of great interest to me as I have been trying to trace the family of Jacob W. for long time. I descend from Clara Shively Smyers, edward's sister. She died in 1930 in Altoona, Pa and was buried near Coalport(now called Lyleville Cemetery, but at the time of death called Snyder) I found Jacob W and family in the 1880 Census in Tarrant(Fort Worth) Co Texas, but lost track of them afterwards. The Children, Nina Samual and Cash were back in PA by 1900 but assumed(though one never should) that Edard and parents had passed away perhaps in Texas. Have not found Edward in any of the later census though have been looking.

David, when researching this family for the article I also could not find the parents in the census records after 1880 in Texas. I searched for Edward in the later census records and also did not have success in locating him. I tried the counties where his children were and where he was raised but did not find anything further. Thank you for your interest.
