12	JW Shirley, 38, Printer, PA Sarah, 37, OH EB (fm), 15, OH BS (m), 11, OH Matildey Elder, 22, OH [born c. 1828]	Who is Matildey Elder? Might she be the Matilda who married Henry L. Swinehart in Perry County 1852? It appears every other Elder in Somerset is Catholic, so she may be also.

Charles Sr. is actually enumerated as the last member of the household at dwelling 86, but I assume is an error. At least two of the children were Baptized at St. Joseph.

I'll guess Elder. If this is true then Elizabeth is probably widowed...who was her husband? I'll also assume these are Catholics as Protestant Dittoes are rare.
