I have a real puzzle on my hands. My gg grandmothers name was Anna Lewis. She was born on 3 Jan 1862 on a ship coming from Ireland to the USA. Her parents' names on her death certificate are listed as Samuel and Elizabeth Lewis of Scotland. The story goes that when her parents arrived in New York, her father went into the Civil War and was killed. Her mother, unable to care for her during a scarlet fever epidemic in NY, placed her in a orphanage. No one knows if her mother died, but Anna became the "daughter" of Mr and Mrs Thomas Woodbridge of Mount Vernon, OH. (No records of adoption have been discovered). After that Anna became known as Anna Lewis Woodbridge. I found it written on some papers of my g grandmas that the Woodbriges owned a grain business in Gambier, OH. No other information on the Woodbridges is available. Anna had impaired eye sight, she was fond of saying "I am blind in one eye and can't see out of the other." The Woodbridges sent her to the Columbus School for the Blind. There is a notation that a Mr. Charles Cooper was her guardian for awhile. She completed her schooling and found a job in Columbus, OH. There she met and married Charley P. Bloomquist a Swedish Immigrant. They moved to Marion OH and raised 2 daughters. Anna died in 1937. If anyone has any information on the Woodbridges or any ideas on how I can try to locate more information on them, please email me at Cwmom4@aol.com Thanks
