Thanks for the reply.
Here is some of what I have for Bennett and his families:
Sarah MAUL/MOUL, b. 1 Dec 1832, PA (probably York Co.), d/o Heinrich MAUL (abt 8 Mar 1791, PA - 22 Oct 1847, Franklin Co., OH) and Christiana (abt 1800, PA - abt Jan 1864, Madison Co., OH)
(I suspect that William, age 25, 1870 census is Bennett's brother. Allen and Jesse living in Warren Co., IL with their families are probably related, also.)

Bennett EFAW, male, b. 6 Jun 1830, Chilucotte (should that be Chillicothe?), Ross, OH, d. 8 Jun 1914, Centerville, IA, bur. 1914, Oakland Cemetery, Centerville, IA, s/o Jacob EFAW , b. 8 Aug 1786, Hardy Co., VA and Mary/Maria SUTHARD/SOUTHWARD/SAOUTHARD, b. 1796, Farquier Co., VA
Bennett md. Sarah MAUL, b. 11 Dec 1832, PA, 21 Feb 1855, Franklin Co., OH; their children John Calvin EFAW, b. 12 Dec 1856, Vermillion Co, IN; Charles EFAW, b. 3 Aug 1857; Emma Jane EFAW, b. 28 Jan 1860, IN; Benjamin Franklin EFAW, b. 14 Jan 1862, Edgar Co., IL; William Allen EFAW, b. 2 Oct 1864, Warren Co., IL; Mary Alice EFAW, b. 29 Sep 1867, Warren Co., IL
Bennett md. Elsie JONES 20 Jan 1875; their children Albert EFAW, b. 23 Mar 1880, Roseville Tp., Warren, IL; Zoe Francis EFAW, b. 18 Dec 1881, Warren Co., IL (Were there more children? 1880 is 5 years after their marriage.)
Bennett md. Emma CUSTER, 25 Oct 1883 (? unsure of date; in the file it said 1683)
I'd say that Sarah probably died in Warren Co., IL, between 1867 and 1875. They should be there on the 1870 census, and he and family there on the 1880 census. Look for Bennett there and in IA in 1900 and in 1910.

I'd like to find out more about the MOULS since that is my direct line. Anyone have more to add about Sarah and her parents?
