Flora M. (Phillips)Toombs
My GG Grandmother Flora Marie (Phillips) Talley was born 24 Sep. 1863 in Alexandria NY. Before her marriage to Grief Adam Talley, she had the married name of Toombs. I know that in 1897 she still had the last name of Toombs as she received a letter addressed to her as Flora M. Toombs. The letter was sent in care of an H.B. Perkins in Sturgis SD.
In 1911 she had applied for a land grant in Calgary, Alberta Canada under the name of Flora Marie Talley.
I am looking for info on the Toombs connection. I do not know if it would be out of the NY area or possibly into Canada because of the land grant application. The land grant item may just be because of all homesteading in Canada about this time.
