Two of her brothers are Horatio and Oziah (sp?)Shaw. We are also looking for information on her husband, Robert W McLaughlin. Lucinda was born in Ohio in 1818. She married Robert W. McLaughlin in St. Joseph Co. on July 1, 1835. The family lived in Penn Township, St. Joseph Co. Indiana per the 1850 census. In 1851, Robert W. McLaughlin filed an affidavit of service in the War of 1812 while liviing in Mishawaka, Indiana (St. Joseph Co.) for a land bounty. Any info or assistance on Shaws, Strongs, or McLaughlins mentioned above would be greatly appreciated! THANKS! JHS Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
