I'm looking for a needle in a haystack.

In the 1850 McDowell Co census, I have Elizabeth Baxter, widow. She is
shown with David A., b. 1833, Finley, b. 1834, Manerva, b. 1839,
Silvester, b. 1844, and Charles, b. 1846.

It appears that the husband of Elizabeth had died around 1846-1850. I
have no maiden surname for Elizabeth.

In the 1860 Reynolds Co, MO census, I have this same Elizabeth Baxter
living near her grown children: Jesse, b. 1836, William, b. 1828, and
living in Elizabeth's household were David, Sidney, Silvester and Charles.

Judging from these ages, I believe that Elizabeth UNKNOWN married
Unknown Baxter about 1825-1827.

Can anyone help me figure out who Elizabeth's husband was? Or
Elizabeth's maiden surname (which we believe may have been Erwin)?
