Thank you for your interest.I recently obtained Alicia's Death certificate.I don't know how accurate her son's information was, but he listed her mother as LAURA CAMPBELL and her father as UNKNOWN HYDE.Alicia's middle name was listed as JULIA.Alicia always says that she was born in Steubenville, OH on October 17, 1844, but I think that her parents had close ties to VT, because Alicia's children consistently claim that she was born there. I really don't have alot to work with:some recipes, some family stories that appear to be WRONG, and a tin type of Alicia that I squint at--she looks very tired. Attempts to find this young lady living with her family in the 1850 and 1860 census have come to nothing.Her marriage record only has her name and the date.I am trying to hunt down the records of the German Methodist Episcopal church in the hope that those records might have more....that too is a mystery--her husband was a Irish famine orphan--why would they have been married in a German Church?
Sorry that this went long.And thank you again for your interest.If LAURA CAMPBELL sounds familiar, let me know!
