Could the mysterious Tamar be Melungeon?
Thanks for your advice on the 1880 US census. I'll look it up. I have searched the death records in Appanoose Co. Iowa, at the Centerville Courthouse, and found nothing. Strange, because I did find their graves, with the help of a letter written to an uncle in 1972 by a 3rd cousin! Maybe I'll ask someone at the county genealogical society to search the newspaper files for them, since I'm not likely to get back to Iowa for awhile.
