matilda jane spencer detty was my greatgrandmother. she was born october 12, 1860 in vinton county, ohio, married john detty either july 1, 1879 or july 10, 1899 and died october 21 or 22 1943 in vinton county, ohio.she is burried in the boblett cemetary in allenstown, vinton county, ohio along with her husband.
i have also been searching for information concerning the family line from her side and have not been able to find anything.
it is my understanding that they had 16 children three of which i can verify. one was amy (amie) who my mother remembers from her childhood as aunt amy but knows no details outside of the fact that she did have a daughter.one was my grandmother martha jane detty whose date of birth i do not know but i do know she died in 1929 when my mother was 4 years old. she married clarence livingston probably in vinton county, ohio. they had two children, clarence livingston jr. who died when 10 months old, and my mother helen jane livingston born april 6, 1925 and is still alive.
my mother has been married 3 times. the first was to a man named wood (i do not know his first name). that marriage resulted in one child, sylvia ann wood. the second was to my father luther columbus monday. that marriage resulted in 5 children. 1) kenneth james wilhite 2) robert armstrong wilhite 3) gladys darlene wilhite 4) anita marie wilhite and 5) one miscarriage. the third was to mitchel bartlett wilhite. no children were born as a result of this marriage but he did adopt the four youner children.
as i said before, my grandmother died when my mother was only 4 (of tuberculosis) and my mother doesnt remember her or her father at all. she didnt even know his name or her deceased brothers name. upon her mothers death she went to live with sylvia ann detty (cadle), her mothers sister, and her husband bert (burt) cadle. the cadles never talked about martha, clarence, matilda...no one so my whole line is in the dark as to our ancestry and i have not been unable to find much on line concerning the parentage of matilda.there are lots of matilda spencers, but none of them match with the information i have.
i would really like to connect with anyone knowing anything about this line of spencer/detty to share dates and information with them.
thank you
