Sylvanus is found in the 1880 census in Scranton, Lackawanna, PA with his new bride, Lizzie. He is 23 years old and she is 21; the census indicates they were married in 1879.

They also found in the 1900 census, still in Scranton, with five of their nine children. By 1910, Elizabeth is listed as a widow and another child has died. The remaining children are:

Walter Herman, b. abt 1884
Minnie S., b. abt 1888
Franklin David, b. 1893
Emma Lydia, b. 1899.

Elizabeth Bennett Slater died at the age of 51 in 1914 and is buried in Hyde Park/Washburn Cemetery in Scranton.

Any information on any members of this family would be greatly appreciated. I'm especially interested in finding the names of the parents of Sylvanus and Elizabeth. Thanks for any help you can provide.
