    2. I have so little on my great-grandmother I have hesitated about posting it, but can't give up without a try. I would have a lot more information if I had paid attention to my grandfather when he told me things but I was very young and not interested in the past. Lydia LaStrange b County Cork, Ireland. m David L. Brigham . One child, George David Brigham b 1867 in Holly Springs, Miss. Lydia died when George was an infant. George moved to Forest City, Ark when he was about 3, then to Johnson County Ark. At some time David L. Brigham married Louisa Looney. This information was given to me by my grandfather, George David, in the 40's. Year later one of George's daughters said that Lydia was 15 when she married. If her child was born within two years--1867--then she would have been born around 1850. But the information about her age conflicts with something else my grandfather told me--that his mother was a nurse during the Union Army and his father was a Confederate soldier and they met during the Civil War. I know his father was a Confederate soldier because he is in a group photo that hangs in the Clarksville Ark. courthouse. But Lydia LaStrange remains a mystery. Does anybody have any suggestions on how to trace her? I would greatly appreciate any help. Muriel Millwood Santa Cruz, CA
