I don't think she was married but I have no proof. The family story is that she had several children by a plantation owner in KY named Black. I suppose she could have been married before this & widowed or divorced. Regarding Musick: there is a different family whose name was Musick; however, sometimes you can't tell if a individual is a Musick or a Messick, spelled differently. Very confusing. I'll look into Lidia/Lydia Musick. Thanks for the suggestion. fJean KeanAt 09:40 AM 11/17/2003 -0600, you wrote: >Jean, > >What was her married name?
