Message Board Post:
Matilda Johnson is shown in 1870 census with her Swedish Peter Johnson family as having
been born in approximately November, 1869. (We are guessing the birth was in Westchester
b/c her family had emigrated in 1868.) It does say she was born in Indiana. The next
census for her is with her father and a couple of siblings in Leadville, Lake, Colorado in
1880, but her age there is given as 8. We trust the 1870 census more. We are trying to
trace what happened to her after 1880 , so if we could find her exact birth date, it might
be a great help. She was known as "Tillie," too. Thanks for any help,
inspiration, or direction. (There are several in-progress trees on Ancestry that have
Tillie in them, but the ones we are creating and related ones we have found lose her after
1880. We need new Indiana leads.) Any info about this family in Westchester would be
appreciated. It apparently split up and left by about 1878. A news story mentions the
family living in Terre Haute, but th!
e Terre Haute directories for late 1870s don't know that.
