He married Catherine Myers of Berks county, and after her death wedded Eliza Muma. Seven chidren were born to each union, those by the first being Rufus K., Hiram, David, Margaret, Elizabeth, Abraham and Elmira, and those by the second being Catherine, Anna M., Susan E., Delilah, Emily, Aldema and Joseph.
[Note: I believe there is an error in the above Bio. The census data suggest that the first wife gave birth to 6 children and the second wife had 8]
