Martha CANE may have lived with her daughter's family in 1872
when she made her application for a pension from the State of
Illinois, Cumberland County. Has anyone ANY record of Martha's
whereabouts around this time and afterwards? I'd especially
like to know where she was when she died.
Information about any of the descendants of this family would
also be appreciated.
Thank you,
Terri Rene DaVar-Howard
