Hi there,
Hold the boat on that Beckman Shrout name for Eleanor J. Shrout's father.
A check of the 1860 census finds him listed as "Beckwith Shrout" so "Beckwith"
looks to be the correct given name.
.

> Queen Victoria (last name ???) is listed in the 1900 census as a step-daughter of James W. Tasker. Her mother (the third wife of James Tasker) is Eleanor Shrout. In the census, Queen was originally listed as a Lish, but that name is crossed out and Tasker is written in its stead. Queen's one-yr.-old daughter, Eleanor Viola, is also listed with this family, but as a Hardesty. Obviously, the baby was born out of wedlock and has her father's last name. Can anyone shed any light on this Eleanor Shrout? Is Shrout the maiden name? What is the Lish connection? I am stumped.
