The names you supply with any picture you post there are indexed by the web's automatic indexing software. Some cousins I didn't know I had found me through another picture I put up an ancientfaces. Margaret Loy married later than most women of her generation -- at age 27 in 1852 as I recall. She was living with her widowed mother when the widowed Rev. Stillman Tucker married her, evidently having outlived two previous wives. Just four years after her marriage, she was left a widow with three children (including an infant who became my grandfather) and three step-daughters. She did not marry again and we have some records showing how tough it was for her to raise those children. In the 1890's she homesteaded in Custer county, Oklahoma, as did C. M. Collins and his wife, nee Phebe Olive Tucker. Margaret S. Loy Tucker lived into her eighties. As I learned first from the site of my cousin Bill Loy http://www.geocities.com/SiliconValley/Bay/5223/frederick.html this Margaret Loy is further identified: 29. MARGARET S 4 LOY (FREDERICK 3, GEORGE FREDERICK 2, JOHN GEORGE 1, PETER??A) was born 1825 in Morrow Co. Ohio. She married (Stillman) TUCKER. Children of MARGARET LOY and TUCKER are: i. MARY ALICE 5 TUCKER. (no children) ii. PHEBE OLIVE TUCKER, m. C. M. COLLINS. (Columbus McKendree Collins, eight children of whom six lived to maturity. I verified with her grandson, Mr. G. Collins of Texas, that Phebe's middle name was "Olive" not "Loive".) iii. JOHN FOSTER TUCKER. (married Alice Rose Greene, widow of Ernest Watrous, and father of two daughters -- including my mother.) Again, from Bill's site, the parents of Margaret Loy Tucker: FREDERICK3 LOY (GEORGE FREDERICK2, JOHN GEORGE1, PETER??A) was born Bet. 1770 - 1773 in Frederick County, Maryland, and died Bet. 1830 - 1840 in Morrow Co., Ohio. He married ELIZABETH M EYSTER 1815, daughter of GEORGE EYSTER and MARY SLAGLE. Bill's site also lists the siblings of Margaret Loy. Any cousins or other people out there who are interested in seeing (or providing) pictures of Margaret Loy and other descendants of Frederick Loy and Elizabeth Eyster, please write to me at mbramlette@earthlink.net or on this mailing list. Mark, long-winded tonight, still grateful to Bill Loy for providing all my initial information on Margaret Loy, her siblings and ancestors, and her Collins children actually, Mark Foster Bramlette, with "Mark" chosen shortly after my birth when my mother found that the previously chosen name -- Margaret -- wouldn't fit, and "Foster" chosen because of John Foster Tucker
