These data indicate:

2 males 20-29 1810-1820 = William (b. 1808/9)

William is in the wrong age-class, and there is obviously another family living with them, but surely these are our subjects.

Agnes (STRAUB) NESTLEROAD is Elizabeth's married daughter.  Listed next to Elizabeth's son, Charles M. STRAUB, and his wife, Sarah E. NESTLEROAD, who are listed next to Lore [Lorenzo] & Ellen (__?__) NESTLEROAD.

7.  1890 Census:  the 1890 Census Population Schedules were destroyed.

Highland Cemetery, Lock Haven, Clinton Co., PA (online at Stephen Straub's web site; primary data are not distinguished from secondary sources, so confirm what you find):
Name Birthdate Deathdate Parents Spouse Source
Straub William P 8 Jul 1809 21 May 1888   Elizabeth Fritz  
Straub Elizabeth 5 Aug 1813 1 Jan 1890   William P. Straub  
William appears to have died before the 1880 census (where his wife calls herself widowed), so is this even our subject?  Or was William's death date on the stone mis-read?  There is no other William STRAUB in all of Pennsylvania who is a likely candidate to be this one buried in Lock Haven.

9.  Broderbund.  World Family Trees.  Volume 33, Pedigree No. 1390.  Says Summerfield married Arvilla MYERS and Priscilla MEYERS, but the widow applying for his Civil War pension was Mary E. STRAUB.
