I am new to this list and just taking a shot in the dark here.
I am looking for information on my ggg grandmother. A family tree, found in
my mothers' baby book, done by my grandmother in 1947, indicates that her
name was Lucy Carter.
According to a published Southwest Iowa history, my ggg grandfather Cyrus
King Allen (b.17 Nov 1822 d.6 Sep 1896) came with his wife and four sons,
John, Martin, Lemuel and Finis, to Fisher Township, Fremont Co. IA from
Newburgh, IN in 1870. The article makes no mention of Cyrus's wife's name.
Cyrus is buried in the Farragut Cemetery in Fremont County, on the same plot
with his son John, John's wife, and their children. Lemuel (my gg
grandfather) and Martin, are also buried in this cemetery with their wives
and families. Cyrus's wife is not anywhere to be found.
I have checked for a death record for Lucy in Fremont Co., and have come up
empty. I also find no record of their marriage in Warrick Co.,Indiana.
If anyone has a connection to this Lucy Carter, I would appreciate any info.
Thanks
Melanie
