Biography
Per a later census where she appears in the household of James Higgs in Ogle, Illinois, Amelia Duvall was born in about 1787 in Washington, Maryland. Her parents are not certain. The Duvall family had many branches in the area at the time, and she married young, so there is little other likelihood of documentation to go on other than her marriage. She married Thomas Higgs on April 17, 1805. They had at least one child during their marriage. She died in or about 1860 in Leaf River, Illinois, at the age of 73.
It is possible but unlikely that Amelia is a paternal aunt
