Genevieve, Missouri. She and her sister, Louisa Goss were somehow left to live with a couple who moved to Washington County Iowa...a Harris (Horace?) and Jane Wilson. We have no idea if these Wilson's were in any way related or how they ended up with these little girls. The two girls grew up in Washington County. Mary married Perrin Squire and Lousia married George Tipton. Louisa and George moved to Ottawa, Kansas. Mary and Louisa had MANY siblings who mostly moved to Louisiana. The family always knew about these girls but never really knew what became of them. Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
