Elizabeth lives with her parents in the 1860 and 1870 Census.
Research notes for Elizabeth Mertz
I first got an idea that Elizabeth had married Henry Moyer because he showed up at the 1890 Hilbish Family reunion and through Census research, I knew his wife was named Elizabeth and then at that point I had this Elizabeth of the right age with no known husband.

But it turns out, her marriage was listed by Wagenseller all along. “Henry B Moyer Jr. editor of the Freeburg Courier to Lizzie Mertz, both of Freeburg.”

In 1880, a son Nevin or Kevin was 1 and seems to be the child who did not survive to 1900.
