How about Jacky? This is one I ran into when looking for Rebecca Porch in Northampton Co., NC - turned out it is her name when on census, then when on slave census she is listed as Rebecca Porch, slaveowner in 1850 and 1860 censuses.

Both of these women are my Great Great Grandmothers. I am going to Salt Lake City soon, and I would like to have some leads as to where I should search – or should I just give up? Perhaps they died and were buried by their husbands and no record was kept. > > 1. Rebecca HARRIS MOLER is my G-G-Grandmother and is in the 1850 Federal Census for Harrison Co., MO as the wife of William C. MOLER. I have searched 1860 censuses throughout MO and also anywhere where her relatives could have been living. I believe she died (or left her husband)between 1850 and 1854 when her husband/widower remarried in Bethany, Harrison County, MO. I have searched for church records, cemetery records and court records, all without finding any information about her or her children. > > I have searched for her children in 1860 censuses.

Hulda TUDOR SCRIVNER is another G-G-Grandmother and according to her son, my Great Grandfather, she died 6 May 1846 close to Liberty in Clay Co., MO. Her husband, John Lewis SCRIVNER, had left their farm in Estill Co., KY and settled in 1844 close to Liberty. I have searched the records of the Liberty, MO Cemetery and I have searched the newspaper articles available in the University Library, with no results. Her husband, John L. SCRIVNER returned with his family to Estill Co., KY where he lived the rest of his life. > > Any help would be appreciated.
