possible twin to Cellia born same year

as per info on J. D. Wilson's rootsweb.com tree he has Parents: Daniel Delph/Anna Milbank

Wilson also has a
Mary BAKER B: 1780 as Jacob's wife.

found the Nov. 20,
1850 census 33rd SubD. E.dt. Hancock, Tennessee.
HEAD: Jacob DELPH age: 45 Miller VA
Mary age: 42 Va
James age:16 VA
Andrew J age: 14 TN
John age:11 TN
Mahala age: 9 TN
George W age: 4 TN
Sarah Jane age 6/12 TN

J.D. Wilson's site also gives the 1850 census for an older son of Jacob's, Harvey B: 1827 Va. married to Mary R. C
and their 1 yr.old son, Samuel A (they too are living in Tenn. and then in the 1860 census Clay Co, KY
Head: Harvey/Mary R.C/ Samuel A.11-James F,9-Joshua 6-Nancy 4-Elbert 1 the only one born in Clay Co. KY



1860 census Hawkins Tenn (see the complete one on Daniels site
HEAD: Daniel Delph age: 84 (I thought that was kind of old to have a 14 year old:
George born 1846 Tenn. That is the same year that Jacob's son George W. was born, Jacob is Daniel/Anna's son born 1805 and Jacob's family is living in Hancock Tn in 1850...
1860 I can not find any Jacob/Mary..
Also on that 1860 census is an Andrew J. Delph born 1855-
5 years old, that I do not know who he is. So wonder which one of their children had a son and named him Andrew J just like Margaret/A.J Newberry did and their son was also born 1855...

And since I can not find Jacob/Mary on any other census and neither can J.D Wilson find them.

But I did find Jacob/Mary's son George W age 14 on the grandfather's census record as stated above, I believe...

however, looking at Jacob's children listed on the 1850 census the other children are all over the age of 18 except the George W. age 14 AND SARAH JANE age 6/12 which means she was born May 1850 as per the census..
So how about this? I searched census records for 1860 Sarah Jane Delph...
the first item that came up was a marriage record for her in Indiana... which is where Stephen Delph and other family members were living from 1863 so she could have been living with them and at the age of 17 married William N. Roberts on Sept 12, 1867 in Jackson co Indiana.. she was only 17. and then I found the
*1870 census for GRASSY FORK Twnshp, Jackson Co. Indiana
Head: Roberts, William age 32 Shoemaker b: Arkansas
Roberts, Sarah age:20 (right age)-Tennessee (right state)
Roberts, Horace age: 12 at home b: Arkansas
He could be either Williams much younger brother OR he could be Williams son from a first marriage. William is old enough to have a 12 year old child but not Sarah.

found William Roberts, in 1860 census Arkansas with a wife, CAtherine, a son Seaborn age 8-Horrace age 2- "male Givens Roberts shoemaker age 69" (Williams father?)
so maybe the family got sick and the only ones to survive were daddy William and youngest son Horrace..after the 1860 census and before 1867 William moved to Indiana to get a fresh start, he is a shoemaker in Indiana on the 1870 census married to Sarah. so "if the shoe fits?" must be him.

wife Elizabeth/ 6 kids AND living 2 houses away with a WRIGHT family is Elizabeth Delph age 20/Peggy delph age 40... ????
