Place: Glenwood, Mills County, Iowa;1880 Census of Mills Co., Iowa
There is an 1882 birth record for:
Bessie Bertha Lapham who was born 23 Nov 1882 in Glenwood, Mills, Iowa, United States to H.J. Lapham & Lucinda Barrett Lapham [2]
BUT there is an 1878 marriage record for:
Harlow J Lapham & Lucinda Finch on 11 Jul 1878 in Mills, Iowa. He was 25, she was 16 and her father's name was John D Finch.[3] Could there have been two Harlow J Laphams who both married a woman named Lucinda in Mills Iowa c 1878? Seems unlikely! She could have been Lucinda Barrett Finch.
