Frederick Knaus, Abraham's father, lived with Abraham and Eliza in his old age, dying somewhere from 1833 to 1838. Abraham and Eliza lived in Columbia County, Pennsylvania, as of 1840, and then in Montour County in 1850, which was created from Columbia County, before moving to Branch County, Michigan between 1854 and 1860. The family apparently started using the spelling KANOUSE after moving to Michigan; I suspect that this was in response to living close to KANOUSE families from New Jersey, descendants of Jacob and John George KANOUSE, brothers who emigrated from Germany to New Jersey.

Columbia Co, PA 1830, 1840; Montour Co, PA 1850; Branch Co, MI 1860, 1870 as Abram KANOUSE
