Julia Ann Shoemaker

Julia Hepburn was born in 1810 in Pennsylvania and died in 1863. She married William Rawle Shoemaker, son of Edward Shoemaker. William was a career army officer.

Julia is found on the 1850 US Census for New Mexico Territory, living in Santa Fe. She is listed as a 40 year-old white female born in Pennsylvania. Others in the household are: Carolina G., age 18, born in Pennsylvania; Elizabeth G., age 16, born in Pennsylvania; Ellen L., age 14, born in Illinois; Edward, age 12, born in Iowa; Charles F., age 10, born in Iowa; Francis W., age 8, born in Illinois; and Samuel E., age 6, Illinois. Her husband is listed in the same census, but not in the same household; it appears to be a census of his Army post.
