    See the book " History of the Crouse Family of Pennsylvania and Ohio " by Rev. J. H. Crouse, Chicago, Illinois, A.C. Press, Chicago, Illinois, 1932

    Excerpt from the above book:
    George the youngest son of Jacob and Mary Crouse, latter settled at MT. Vernon, Ohio, where he entered in business. He visited the relatives in northwestern Ohio and northeastern Indiana in 1875. It is reported that he had a son who is a doctor, living near Indianapolis, Indiana.

    The 1880 census shows George Crouse as Divorced, living in the home daughter and son-in-law Ester Ann and Timothy Ross. Possible?, as I find Catherine Crouse in the household of daughter and son-in-law Mary and Salamon Sapp in the 1880 census.

    Knox Co. Ohio Records, 1800 - 1882 shows George Crouse, Born in Cumberland Co., Pennsylvania, and married in Cumberland Co., Pennsylvania, Knox Co. records show daughter Esther Ann Crouse was born January 11, 1826 in Knox Co., Ohio.

    Carole Bannes has kindly provided information on George Crouse and family, including the following information.

    Knox Co., Ohio Marriage Records (1808-1898):
    CROUSE, George, married to Lydia MILKER (Melker) on 15 Jan 1824 by Rev James Scott.

    Knox Co., Ohio Death Records (1867 - 1908)
    CROUSE, George, d 10 Mar 1891; status widower; age 92y 5m 1d; Died in Knox County; Born in Cumberland Co, PA; Occupation Farmer; COD: Old Age (No parents given)

    Knox County Probate Court (Marriage) Records show George Crouse was married to Lydia Melker by the Rev James Scott in Knox County on 15 Jan 1824. [White Book, p 101; Red Book, p 213; certificate on file].

    There is no marriage or divorce records for George and Catherine in Knox County. Since Milford Township was so close to Licking County, I checked records available online for marriage there, but could not find one.

    ** Please Note - History of Knox County OH p 787 for Timothy Ross states George Crouse was born February 5 1799.
