Message Board Post:
I have just seen your post, I posted the original thread on Richard Alexander Caruthers
and Nancy Cook several years ago and my email has changed since then and I did not get the
notice hence the time it has taken to reply. Family information I have passed through my
family has Mary Elizabeth Caruthers married to John William Locke. This fits in with your
Great Great Grandmother, my family information has Anna being Anna E. Locke married to a
Noland. This information came from Anna's first cousin Mary Elizabeth
"Lizzie" McColl. I do know that the family did lose contact with the
Locke's for a time. Information on her children was not passed down through the
family, but recent research has lead me to believe Anna married Rufus E. Noland and had
the following children Maurice L., Lynn M., Marie J., Rufus Eugene, and Anna Grace. I
have Anna E. (Caruthers) Noland living in Lower Squaw, Boise Co., Idaho then later in
Montour, Gem Co., Idaho.
John William Locke had died previous to the Caruthers family moving to Osborne Co.,
Kansas, he died in 1876 in Lyndon, Osage Co., Kansas. Mary E. (Caruthers) Locke then moved
with the Caruthers family to Osborne Co., and lived in a dugout style house on her
father's property just west of her brother, Thomas. Upon her death in 1881 her
childrenr, Will, Jim, and Anna were raised by their uncle Tom (Thomas George Caruthers, my
Great Great Grandfather) and R.A. (Richard Alexander Caruthers, his father). Is this the
same person as your Nancy Anna Locke?? I have a birth Date of 27-9-1867 for her being in
Pennsylvania? I am aware One World Tree has Anna as Nancy Anna, but I am unsure of where
this information is from as the Census Records show Anna L. in 1910, 1920, and 1930. The
1875 Kansas, Osage Co., census has her name as Nora, The 1880 census has her listed as
Nancy A. Lock living in Kill Creek, Osborne Co., living with her mother next to her
grandfather R.A. and Uncle Tom !
her siblings are listed as James A, John C. and Mary C., the 1885 Kansas Census has her
though listed as Nansy or possibly Nansay A. living in Kill Creek, Osborne Co., Kansas
with her uncle Thomas Caruthers and her siblings James A., Jon William, and Mary C. Could
she have possibly had 3 names as Nancy was her mother's sisters name. Any information
you could share would be appreciated, I would be glad to share the documentation I have.
My direct e-mail is danandkristi(a)sunflower.com
Thanks
