Looking for Levi Faris 1813-?

Surnames: FARIS,/FARIES/FARRIS/FERRIS/ FARRISS, MOODY
Trying to trace Levi Faris. Born about 1813-1820 to James Faris and probably Elizabeth Moody of Pencader Hundred, Newcastle County, Delaware. He is found in Philadelphia, PA in the 1850 census with his wife, Hannah, and daughter Martha Anne and is reported to be a shoemaker/cordwainer. In 1860 he is also found in Philadelphia with his wife, Anna (Hannah?), and children: Martha A. b. 1848, Margaret J, b. 1854, Laura b. 1857, Leo and George W. b. 1859. I found that George W. died 27 Nov 1861.
I cannot find any of these folks after the 1860 census.

Levi’s brother James remained in Philadelphia, his brother Joseph had already moved to Kentucky and I presume the rest of his siblings remained in Delaware.

Anyone with information about this family, please contact me.

Thanks

Lorraine
