To make the case for Louisa Emerick as a daughter of George Emerick and Nancy Rose. We do not currently show a Louisa but I have found a few Ancestry trees that list her including the attached from the McCormack Family Tree. As you see, she is here shown as being born in 1825 in Onondaga County, NY and died November 27, 1881 in Bowling Green, OH. All of this seems to fit with the other material I've found:
1. One family tree (not the one noted above) showed that Louisa married ? Erakine. I located the attached in the 1855 NY State Census. As you see, this shows a Louisa married to Abner C. Erskine. Furthermore, she is shown as being born in Onondaga County about 1824.
2. Also attached is the will of David Wiles, Lysander, Onondaga County in which a sum of money is bequeathed to "Louisa Erskine wife of Abner Erskine." We know, of course, that George Emerick, his wife and family, lived in Lysander.
3. Returning to the 1855 census noted above, you will see that two of the children of Louisa and Abner Erskine were born in Wisconsin, one about 1847 and one about 1848. We know that George and Nancy Emerick relocated to Walworth County, Wisconsin in 1844 and that George died there in 1849. It may be that Louisa and Abner were in Wisconsin at that time due to George's declining health. Speculation, of course, but it seems to fit.
