How is Rebecca Lafollett, born arond 1811, connected to the Lafollett's?
Rebecca Lafollett first appears in the 1840 Sevier Co. Tennessee Census as Rebecca Follet living with 2 sons under 5 years old she is also living with or on the same property as Elizabeth Follet and Jeremiah Follet 1840 census and named Head-of-household. By the 1850 census their name is misspelled as (Layfallet) but Rebecca is 37 years old with a son Harvey 19 and William 11, they are living with or on the same property as Elizabeth (Gann)Layfallet 57 and her sons George 15 and William 18 I don't know who Sarah Layfallet 4 belongs to. By 1860 Cencus Rebecca Lafollett is now living with her married son William R. Lafollett and wife Louiza, Elizabeth Lafollett and family lives near. By 1870 Census Rebecca is not mentioned but William R.misspelled (Layfayett) wife Louiza G. Daughters Mary E., Nancy J., Julia Ann, Sarah M., and son James H. are listed. By 1880 there is a 73 year old "mother-widow" R (Rebecca) Lafollet living with 43-year-old son WR and wife LG 48, dau ME 19, dau NJ 18, dau JA 16, dau SM 12, son JH 10, son WC 9, dau VH 5. (W.C. 9 is my greatgrandfather William C. Lafollett). I am looking for more information on Rebecca Lafollett born around 1811. I'm not sure what relation she is to George and Elizabeth(Gann) Lafollett. Is she a niece, daughter in-law, sister, are her kids legitamate who was her husband? But she lived with them or on their property for a long time. George had a very large family living with him in the 1830 Census spelled George Follet. If anyone knows about Rebecca Lafollett please let me know.
