Mat and Elizabeth Idol
Trying to figure out who these Idol's are.
In the 1895 Kansas State Census for Brown County, Irving Township, Robinson:
18/31 Joe Clifford 29 M W NC NC
18/31 Myrtle Clifford 21 F W KS KS
18/31 Mat Idol 64 M W KS KS (*says Kansas, but that's not possible as Kansas wouldn't be a state for 40 years after he was born)
18/31 Eliza Idol 62 F W KS KS *
18/31 Ed Idol 36 M WKS KS*
18/31 Kay 17 F W KS KS
Joe Clifford is my great grandfather, Joseph Wiseman Clifford. His wife is Myrtle Swaim, daughter of Alvarian Swaim and Cornelia Jane Idol.
I have listed that Cornelia Jane Idol was the daughter of William Idol and Mary Robertson, but no real proof. Just other researchers and Census records.
Who was Mat, Elizabeth, Ed and Kay Idol?Mat is old enough to be a brother to the above William Idol.Was he an Uncle to Myrtle Swaim Clifford and staying in their house?
I'm perplexed at this new development.
Thanks for any response.
