I have to work right now but will try to post again before the weekend with all the info I found for you. For now, I believe her parents to be Eliakum and Rachel Stevens. They had a daughter in the household named Ida and of the right age. That girl disappears in the 1880 census of their household, but another Ida Stevens shows up half way across the state in the houseshold of her grandparents (George Rickard and wife Catherine) in a county adjoining the one where your Ida's husband is living with his family. George's wife, Catherine, is probably a 2nd wife and not the mother of Ida's mother. Because of the places of birth, I'm pretty sure that this is the right girl. I promise to send what I found to you soon, but just can't type it all in right now because of work. I have somne deadlines in the next couple days. But, if I can squeeze! it in, I will because I know how much fun it is to get this stuff. Julie Bissell Tupker Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
