My great-great grandmother Alpha O. Anderson was born April 22, 1850, in Illinois, to John T. and Anna R. (Marcum) Anderson. In 1860, she's listed in the Warren County, Illinois, census as living with Cyrus L. Buck (30) of VT, Julia Ann (Baker) Buck (26) of Ind., and Endola (?) Buck (2) of Ill. I'm assuming that Alpha became an orphan sometime between 1852 (when her youngest brother was born) and 1860. Have you come across the Buck family taking in any children in your research? Thanks for your help!
