Adoption - Mary Emily
Have any of you run across any of your Culbertsons adopting a baby named Mary Emily?I am looking for information on, my g-g grandmother, Mary Emily Culbertson's biological family, as well as her adoptive family.All I know is that she was adopted in Cincinnati, Ohio as a baby by a wealthy family who already had a son, Andrew, probably in his teens, and a daughter, Amanda, about 4 or 5 years old.Mary's birthdate is January 16, 1852.Mary may have had a natural sister that was not adopted by the Culbertsons, but was possibly named Sarah.I'm assuming that Mary was her natural name.When Mary was about 8 years old, the Culbertsons migrated to California, where they met with hard times.Mary was then sent to live with the Hood family who eventually migrated to Oregon.There is no indication that she was adopted by the Hoods.At the age of 14, in 1866, she married my Great, Great Grandfather Joseph Teshera. If any of you have any leads or suggestions, I'd sure appreciate it.
