Often, if loved, children were simply absorbed into a family, if they could “pass”.

My dad and grandfather are positive they are related to her but she isn’t listed on any family trees. So now I’m very curious.

I am a (5th gen?) granddaughter of Phillip & Matilde. Our family story is that Lydia is our grandmother by Phillip…though I can’t find anything to back that up. Hence, my own searching. If you find any more, I would be very interested to hear/see your sources.<br />There is an account in the Illinois docs of Lydia with the Henson family.Lianenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6780824883768425920.post-91738205930526236402016-06-09T07:27:05.794-06:002016-06-09T07:27:05.794-06:00What a sad, but great story about Lydia and Matild...What a sad, but great story about Lydia and Matilda. What great hardships for those on the trail of tears. And what history. I of course picked up up on stories of the Ohio and Golconda. I had never heard of the Ohio freezing to that depth. I do remember dad and my brothers cutting ice in blocks and making an ice house with straw around it. Can't remember what he put in it though. Will have to ask my brother. I remember a smoke house where he hung meat. That was a long, long time ago!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
