Elias's marriage to Susanna Scudder was perhaps a second marriage for him. He and Susanna were married in 1837 but in the 1840 census record, his household had 1 male (5 and under 10) and one female (10 and under 15) that I have not identified. The other female under 5 in this 1840 census would be Julia A who was born in 1839; so she was Susanna's child.
