Her grandfather was Harrison Howell Dodge, and her grandmother was not Lucretia Wolcott Knowlton, but Lucretia's daughter, Elizabeth Plympton Knowlton. Lucretia had been married to Lincoln B. Knowlton in 1842 and lived with him in Peoria, where they had 4 children that I know of in addition to his daughter Eleanor by a prior marriage. The children were William S., James W., Louisa, and Elizabeth Plympton Knowlton. Elizabeth, born in Jan. 1854, married Harrison Howell Dodge in 1875 and lived with him in Washington, D.C., where he was the superintendent of Mt. Vernon for many years. Elizabeth and Harrison Howell Dodge had four daughters. They named the first Lucretia Wolcott Dodge after Elizabeth's mother, and that Lucretia is my mother-in-law's mother. The second daughter, Anna Howell Dodge, married Elvin Ragvald Heiberg. Both of them had children, on whom I have information. The third daughter was Elizabeth Knowlton Dodge. The fourth daughter was Mary Eleanor Vernon Dodge, who married William Strong Cushing; their daughter Elizabeth married Boris Dmitrievitch Wolkonsky and is also still living here in Southern California at the age of 80. Probably the reason the researcher got confused and thought that Harrison Howell Dodge married Lucretia is because Lucretia, as a widow, lived with her daughter and son-in-law in Washington. There is a directory listing for her in 1890 which gives their address, but it identifies her as the widow of Lincoln B. Knowlton. At that time she would have been about 80; I am not aware that she ever remarried. I think her husband may have died in the Civil War, because I do not find him in censuses after 1840 and 1850. Just wanted to correct this in case it has misled anybody.
