Hi Kathie, My G-G-G-grandmother was Elizabeth "Eliza" [Fox] Askey, wife of Ellis Askey. She was born in Pennsylvania, possibly in Tyrone 14 Feb 1824. She and Ellis came to Ridott in Stephenson County from Pennsylvania around 1849. Eliza's parents were John and Elizabeth Fox who were both born in Pennsylvania. She allegedly had some Germany ancestry. Could it be that Lydia and Eliza were sisters or cousins? Hope this can help you somehow. Good luck!
