Foxie,
I have just found a Mary A. Terpenning age 1, in 1880 census of Wilson, Kansas with David W. Terpenning age 31, born NY, wife Matilda age 26, born Tennessee, daughter Seyela (Suyela) age 3 born Illinois.I have found a family tree with a David Wesley Terpenning born 1849 in NY but I wonder if this could be the correct one. He is the son of David Terpenning and his second wife Amanda which would fit with Mary's middle name.Anyway, we have always known our great grandmother as Celia but who knows what the census taker thought he was writing down. Do you have any information on this Terpenning?I had thought there was another child born also but without the 1890 census I may never know.Thank you for your support.I saw on the forum the named spelled in several different ways, and went with a gut feeling.Let me know if you find anything.
