in search of robert kerlin

In 1860, the Carbis family is living in Collins Township, Allegheny county, PA.

This is the census I have been looking for for a very long time, for Maggie Carbis and Henry Kerlin marry in November of 1856, their son, Sam Kerlin, is born in September of 1858, and by 1870, Sam is living with the Carbis family.

Taken June 19, 1860

The household includes :

Samuel Corbis ( Carbis), 45, m., River Mate, real estate worth $2500, personal estate worth $600, born in England. (1815)
Mary A. Carbis, 39, f., wife, born in PA ( 1821)

Virginia Carbis, 17, f., born in PA (1843)

Anna Carbis, 12, f., born in PA ( 1848)

Pauline Carbis, 9, f., born in PA ( 1851)

Julia Carbis, 7, f., born in PA ( 1853).

I had suspected that Julia Murphy was another sister, and here she is. But I had never stumbled across Anna before.

Maggie is gone, but I knew that. The question remaining is where is her son, Samuel ?
