Two children born the same year. One in July, one in October. Someone may want to sit in on a high school sex ed class.
I tried a search for Henrich in the 1860 census since the attached record is obviously incorrect. Maybe there were too many results to sort through. Maybe the correct one was transcribed incorrectly. Maybe the tree owner attached whatever hint popped up and didn't bother to look at the record. The census that most closely matches 1850 and 1870...
The Eliker Family
York, PA
Henry 68
Catharine 51
Margaret 23
George 16
Catharine 11
...was one of THREE results.
Now for the real kicker. NONE of those census records is correct because only one person listed in that family should be on this tree. Catherine Eliker married a sibling of someone in the direct line. So Catherine being born in Ohio in 1837 is correct. No one else listed is her immediate family. But by all means go ahead and disrespect her and disregard her actual family. Just add any couple with the same surname who had a daughter named Catherine and say they're her parents. Ignore the decade age difference and all the censuses showing that she was born in Pennsylvania. Ignore the 5 children born before 1870 that should be with her and her husband in that census and attach one that shows she was 20 year old in 1870 and living with her parents. Finding correct records is really difficult so don't tax your brain too much.
Catherine Eliker married John Robeson Hawes
B. 13 Jul 1837 in Fairfield, Ohio B. 28 Mar 1827 in Montgomery, Ohio
In 1870 the couple is living in Butler, Darke, Ohio with their 5 children.
In 1860 Catherine is living with an Eliker family in Neave, Darke, Ohio. From the ages it looks like the head of household, Washington Eliker, could be her brother.
In 1850 there is a Catherine Eliker, close in age, living in Fairfield, Ohio (Where was Catherine born?) with a very large family. It looks like the parents could be Henry and Julia Ann.
Of course those records were found in a matter of minutes and none of them are attached to this tree. I don't have definitive proof that they are correct but they are certainly better choices than the ones that are attached.
