2.  1870 Census Images (online at Ancestry.com; Image #8 of 40):  Parryville P.O., Lower Towamensing Twp., Carbon Co., PA, p. 148B, PN 8, 50/55, enumerated 30 Jul 1870 (extracted by Diana Gale Matthiesen):¤•

Shafer David	60	M	W	Carpenter	3500	100	Penna
______ Eve	60	F	W	Keeping House			"
Stroub Samuel	30	M	W	Works in Furnace			"
______ Elizabeth	28	F	W				"
______ Julia	14	F	W				"

Samuel should be age 36.  Samuel was living with his parents in 1850 and 1860, so Julia does not appear to be his daughter, and Elizabeth is too young to be.  Julia may be the daughter of Samuel's first cousin, Daniel STRAUB, who had a daughter Julianna (æ 2) in the 1860 census, who does not show up in 1870.
