Judy,
I did look back at my files.Frances Louise (Lyde) Detty (her name is frequently listed as Louise Frances...Lyde must have been a nickname) is the mother of John W. Detty number 2. I don't think his father was named..or it did not come down through the ages. She did marry Gideon Crabtree of Ohio.Her family did not move west.
I have had contact with members of Thomas and America Ann Detty's family.Even though her maiden name is listed as Hopper, she was the daughter of a Detty woman also.There family story has her father as being a casualty of the Civil War..however her parent never married.Some of that sort of thing happened in many families during the Civil War..not surprising considering the situation.
I still am more inclined to believe John Henry was the son of Elijah/Elisha Detty and Elizabeth Flora.Elizabeth died when he was about two. I have looked at other Detty families about the time John Henry was born...none really fit. Those marks in the 1830 census were confusing.
