I am seeking the lineage of Louisa Mooney (sometimes listed as Louisa Money). She married David Spotts (18 Sep 1842 - 9 May 1907) in 1847. According to the 1900 census, she was born in October 1850. She and her husband made their home in Centre county, PA and after her husband passed away, she lived with her eldest daughter Sarah (Spotts) Daughenbaugh, according to the 1910 census. I cannot find her in the 1920 census.

I have searched the 1860 and 1870 censae to find her living with her parents to no avail.

I would greatly appreciate any information regarding the parents of Louisa. I have included the obituary of her husband and would be glad to share any of my information on her descendants.

Thank you!
