In doing some research for a friend, I've found Blenda Nicholson, b. 1877 Iowa m.
Ellis Vallow, b. 1875 Illinois, on 14 November 1898. Blenda shows up on the 1880 census
in the home of her grandparents, William and Sarah Jane Carnahan, in Elk Creek Township,
Jasper County, Iowa.
I found her parents, James Nicholson m. Lacy Carnahan on 27 November 1876 listed on the
Jasper County, Iowa Marriage Register, Volume II 1870 - 1878.
There's also a reference in the Cemetery Index:
Nickolson, James - EKCK-025a
NIckolson, Tacy (Carnahan) - EKCK-025a
as well as for Nickolson, Blinda - EKCK-025a
Could you possibly fill me in a little on this family? What are the dates of deaths for
James Nicholson and Lacy Carnahan Nicholson? I'm wondering how Blenda came to be in
Livingston, Marion County, Illinois? Who is the Blinda Nickolson that's buried there?
Any help is appreciated. Thanks
Thanks
