Life History

Notes

• In the 1880 census, Lucinda's state of birth is reported as Virginia instead of North Carolina.  This is consistent in the records for daughter N J and son G W next door, so I tend to think this is the correct report instead of North Carolina, as in 1860 and the 1900 record for Nancy, after her mother's death.  The 1850 census, which I found after the 1880 census, also reprots her as born in Virginia.
