Minerva and her children are living with a family from Switzerland/Germany in Scipio, Seneca, Ohio. Elmina, Almina and Manly are the only children left at home in 1850.
After her father died, Sophia went to live with the Cole family, she was the same age as Mary Hall who later married her cousin Hiram Root, son of Horace and Affa Daily Root. The Rubin S. Hall family lived next door to the Cole family and being the same age, 17 at the time I am sure Sophia Root and Mary Hall were friends.
