Clarissa is age 6 years. By 1860 Census, Clarissa Truax is listed in Wayne Co, IL, as age 16, and again with Michael & Rebecca Flick. In 1864 she wed William Tidd Graham in Wayne Co, IL. William T. Graham was born in Monroe Co, OH . Clarissa (Truax) Graham's obit says she was born in Woodsfield, Monroe Co, OH. By 1880 William and Clarissa had homesteaded in Phillips Co, KS. William Tidd Graham, born in OH, father born in Ireland, and mother born in South Carolina. These states [of birth] remain the constant answer [in each census] until his death in 1912. Clarissa in 1880 was born in Ohio, with father born in Ohio and mother born in PA. These states are the same as mentioned in 1900 [Census, enumerated] before her death in 1901. Michael Flick and his wife Rebecca were both born in PA, as was a son Arthur, born about 1831 in PA. Later children were born in Ohio. It is possible that Clarissa's mother was a Flick. Does anyone know anything about this family? Who were the parents of William T. Graham? Was he the son of Thomas Graham, listed in the 1850 census of Malaga Township, Monroe Co., Ohio and a first wife? The ages of William in 1850 and 1860 do not agree with his stated birth date? Who are the parents of Clarissa Truax? Again the old Monroe courthouse fire and the Wayne Co., IL courthouse fire are making things difficult. Any clues for these two families would be appreciated. They are not my family, but were neighbors of all my families in Kansas and the connection is driving me nuts. Thanks, Jerilyn ___________________________________________________________________________ Dear Jerilyn: I do not have any connection to your family, but when I looked at the 1860 Census of Center Twp, Monroe Co, OH, I could not help noticing the Tidd Family. Perhaps there is a connection between this family and your William Tidd Graham. Thought I would add it for consideration.
