Have I finally found Olivia Rush MOORE in the 1880 census? I think so. There is an Olivia Moore, age 10, in the 1880 census in Philadelphia, PA. She is the daughter of Charles D. and Lucy H. MOORE. Her mother was born in Delaware and her father was born in PA. The children of Charles and Lucy are Olivia, Frank O., Susan L., Benjamin B., Lucy L. and Elsie A. My Olivia had children named Lucy H. (aka L. Honour), Susan L. and Frank. Later census returns for my Olivia state that her mother was born in DE and her father in PA and that she was born in 1869.
More evidence: There is an IGI entry for an "Olevia R. MOORE", born Oct 8, 1869 to Charles D. and Lucy H. MOORE. This is from the Birth registers, 1860-1903, for the city of Philadelphia. The addition of the middle initial helps me to accept that I have found my Olivia and her parents.

I have several Elon Carmans in my family tree: Elon (1792-1866) , Elon Joseph (1840-1919) , Joseph Elon (1872-1956) , Joseph Elon (1901-1960) in my line, and Joseph Elon (1891-1971) and Joseph Elon (1914) in a collateral line. There is also an Elon Carman who lived in and around Philadelphia that I knew must be related, but I couldn't find any definitive evidence of the relationship beyond DNA matches with some of his descendants. Yesterday, I found his baptismal record. He was baptized at St. Peter's Lutheran Church in North Wales, Montgomery County, Pennsylvania on 13 May 1833 and his birth date was listed as 14 Aug 1828. While the last name was spelled in the Ancestry index as Cormon, his parents were listed as Elon & Martha, so I am confident now that he is the brother of my great-great-great grandfather Charles R. Carman. I've now identified four children of Elon Carman and Martha Johnson, although I only have Elizabeth's...
