It has been awhile since I have posted this, but maybe there are some new people on the list that might be able to help. I have been trying to track down information about Cynthia Lowe who was born October 15, 1853 in Illinois (according to the census). She married my great-great grandfather, Loren Charles Hance on July 2, 1869 in Chickasaw County, IA, dying there in 1892. In the 1870 census of Chickasaw County, her father is marked as being from Indiana. Her sister Kate Lowe born, 1850 in, IL married John Adam Hance, brother of Loren Charles Hance. Kate died in 1880 in Chickasaw County, IA. Loren Charles Hance and John Adam Hance were sons of Isaac Hance. I have no information as to Cynthia and Kate's parents, but it is believed that they were part Indian. Becky Frank [email protected]
