NOTE: The 1850 census is the only reference that I’ve found of Elsey Ann Andress. In 1850 she was age eight, placing her birth ca. 1842. I have included her on this register as the daughter of Peter and Sarah. It’s possible that the Elsey Ann listed on the census is actually Peter’s daughter Alice A. She was born in 1842 and I’ve not located her elsewhere in 1850. However, Elsey may, in fact, not be Peter’s daughter but the daughter of Jacob Anders and Amy Stenabaugh of Oakland Township, Brant Co., Ontario, Canada. Jacob’s daughter Elsie was born ca. 1842. Jacob was the son of William Anders and Priscilla VanSickle. Jacob’s twin sister was also named Elsie. Could the naming of the twins have been in honour of Elsey Longstreet Ayers who died in 1791, the supposed first wife of Jacob Andress of Beattystown? I’ve speculated that the two families (Andress of Warren Co., New Jersey and Anders of Brant Co., Ontario) are related but have yet to locate a source to prove so.
