1.  Letter, dated 19 Jun 1858, from Keziah (GREENLAND) SHANAFELT (click her link for a full transcription) of Clarion Co., PA, to her son, Thomas.  Keziah is a granddaughter of Benjamin & Sarah (SIAS) CORBIN.  The letter is in the possession of  Laurel Shanafelt Powell of Colorado, and Lorinda Clendenon Greenland generously posted a transcription at her web site. 
My mother's father was Benjamin Corbin; her mother Sarah Sias.  I think they both came from England.  Their ancestors lived in England where some of them still remain... Grandmother had two brothers -- Joseph and Benjamin Sias.  I remember seeing them many years ago.  They moved to Ohio.  She had a sister named Keziah Sias...

2.  1790 Census Images (online at Ancestry.com; extracted by Diana Gale Matthiesen):
1790 MD Baltimore Co. Patapsco Lower Hundred p. 204 Joseph Sias 3-3-5-0-0
These data indicate:
Gender and Type Age Class Therefore Born Individuals Inferred
3 free white males 16 or over in or bef. 1774 = Joseph
= Son A
= Son B
3 free white males 15 or under 1774-1790 = Sons C, D, E
5 free white females all ages in or bef. 1790 = Wife
= Daughters A, B, C, D
We can't be certain who the ten people are living with Joseph.  Most likely they are his wife and children; and, for now, I'm going to make that assumption.
