Hello again Gary, In re-reading my paragraph about Morford, below, it reads incorrectly. It was Morford that died May 15 1863, not his wife, Agnes. :-) At any rate, I've noticed in the Lucas Co. Marriages 1849-1918, that Agnes [Elder] Throckmorton [b. 1830], married a couple of more times after Morford's death. Wondered if you had that for your records: p. 13: 9 april 1866: Agnes Throckmorton, age 34 [b. abt 1832], m. Albert E. Griffin, age 36 [b. abt 1830]. p. 20: 12 nov 1871: Agnes Griffin, age 40, [b. abt 1831] m. Lambert Simpson, age 31 [b. abt 1840]. // So, if that's the case, was Albert E. Griffin gone by the 1870 census? Couldn't locate him in the Cemetery Records. I noticed that Agnes died at Higginsville, Vermillion Co., Illinois in 1874. I would assume she was Agnes Simpson then? Again, thanks for all the great info. It will take some time for me to catch up on that one ! :-) Mary Beth in Wisconsin Subject:Thank you - update - Re: Morford & Agnes {Elder} THROCKMORTON, II Date:10:19:48 05.09.2004 From:[email protected] To:Gary W. Tharp <[email protected]> Size:1.94 kb Show headers | View message source Hi Gary, Thank you so much for all the great info. With what you sent, I now understand who that A. is. I was just studying over the 1860 Census and re-reading the 1870 for Lucas Co for this particular family: " A. Throckmorton" ... or "Morford, II" report], it is my assumption that the A. Throckmorton in the 1870 Census is actually Agness [Elder] Throckmorton who d. in 22 Oct. 1874. Agness' husband, Morford Throckmorton, II, you've noted, died on May 15, 1863. In Lucas Co Cemetery Records, p. 213, there is a Morford Throckmorton who d. May 15, 1863 at ag 10y 2m 23d. He is buried at Derby Cemetery along with loads of other Throckmortons. Can I assume that this is actually Morford since if the 10 was replaced with 40, this Morford is the correct age? ?? I know there are errors in the cemetery book, so perhaps this is the case? [ I certainly understand it's a difficult job pulling together such a fantastic source as the cemetery book. Grave markers are very difficult to read.] We know that there are many incorrect notations in the census, so I would assume that "A." is "Agnes" , age 37, Female [not male], Farmer, b. Penn. The age is about right ...Agness was 30 in the 1860 census. Thanks for your help !! Mary Beth in Wisconsin
