Hello - I'm trying to track down the name of the first husband of my great-great grandfather's sister, Ella Higgins Atkinburg/Auttenberg/Autenberry Alwood. Ella was born in 1853 in Ashtabula Co., OH. By 1860, she was living with her parents in Gustavus Twp., Trumbull Co., OH. By 1870, the family is living in Tuscola Co., MI, and Ella is no longer listed with them in the census records. Sometime prior to 1869, Ella married a man by the name of Atkinburg, Auttenberg, or Autenberry, and they had a daughter named Speedie Arvilla ___ born March 28, 1869, and the stories are circulating that she may have been born somewhere on Lake Erie or in Cleveland. It is assumed that afterward this first husband died, because Ella married William Alwood in 1873 in OH before moving with him to Tennessee. One suggestion has been made to me that Ella and her first husband may have come through Madison Co. Does anyone have any ideas for me? Thanks!
