John SIAS
Elizabeth CHENEY

Husband: John SIAS
Birth: 16 Jan 1785, Loudon, Rockingham [now Merrimack] Co., NH
Death: 15 Jul 1864, Danville, Caledonia Co., VT
Father: Capt. Benjamin SIAS
Mother: Abigail MOORE

If John died in Danville in 1864, he should have been there at least in the 1860 census, but I don't find him, there or anywhere else, in 1840, 1850, or 1860. But I do find a person who appears to be his childless widow in the 1840, 1850, and 1860 censuses. I wonder if "1864" isn't a typo.

Marriage:

Wife: Elizabeth "Betsey" CHENEY
