Narrative

Lucinda was living with a Smith family in 1850 in Ledyard, New York. In 1860, she was with her brother Ezra in Owego, New York. In 1870 and 1880, she was with her brother Tapping in Big River and Ukiah, California, respectively. In 1900, she was with the Carothers, apparently the family of a deceased brother as she was named as sister-in-law to the Head of Household Thomas.
