Biography

Research Notes

"Find A Grave" notes suggest Ruby Mitchell died Aug. 13, 1857 in Weston, Missouri. It then suggests Harriett Ingals married on May 9, 1865 in Howard County, Iowa. There are no sources currently available to me that substantiates these facts. It appears that Thomas may have been living with his possible parents when the 1860 census was taken but it does not list his daughter Emmeline nor a son that may have been born in 1857 (according to "Find A Grave" notes). Did Ruby die from child birth complications along with this possible son? Where was Emmeline in 1860?Maltby-309 14:39, 12 September 2022 (UTC)
