Cary and Mary Kizer (Keiser, Kiser) apparently had two daughters (Emeline and Hester) born between about 1843-1845. Mary could not be found in the 1850 US census or any subsequent enumerations; she apparently died prior to 1850.
Cary is found in Howard County, Indiana working as a farm laborer in the William Dorman residence. His children are not listed in the Dorman household and likely were placed with relatives so that Cary could work to support them.
No further children are recorded and Kizer researchers on Ancestry have not listed a subsequent marriage.
