  Noted events in her life were:

1. Census in 1850 in , Tippecanoe, IN. 4 The 1850 census recorded Leonard Beeker (handwriting unclear so indexed as Leonard Becker), 35, farmer, living with wife Ann, 42; and daughter Dulcena, 9. Ann was born in Virginia and the others in Indiana. Leonard's land was valued at $3000.
A mystery is the three youngest children of Leonard and Anna - Norcemous, Manford, and Orlena - are not living with their parents, perhaps because Anna was having health issues? The children are found serveral pages earlier in this township in household 468 (Leonard is household 483) within the home of John Pulver, 25, and his wife Sarah, 27. Since both are born in New Jersey, they are unlikely to be relatives; otherwise we would expect Sarah to be Leonard's sister caring for his children?.
