I am trying to get additional information on Zillah Starkweather, first wife of my 4g-grandfather, Leander Eagles. They had one daughter, Lucy Eagles, born in 1818. By 1822, Leander's second child, Leander (my 3g-grandfather) was born to his then-wife, Lucy (Prentice) Eagles, so sometime between, 1818 and 1822, something happened to Zillah.
In a biographical sketch of Lucy Eagles' husband, William Upson, it indicates that Lucy's "father was born in New York City, and died in Noble County [IN]. Her mother died in Genesee County, where she spent all of her married life." So this implies to me that Zillah died in New York, Leander remarried (after all, he had a little one to take care of), and then moved to Indiana (in 1838).
All I have in the censuses (1820 and 1830) is:
In 1820, In Leicester, Genesee, New York:
1 male between 16 and 26 (Leander)
1 female under 10 (Lucy)
1 female between 16 and 26 (could be either first or second wife)
In 1830, in Attica, Genesee, New York:
2 males under 5 years (Thomas and Charles)
2 males between 5 and 10 years (Leander and Nathaniel)
1 male between 30 and 40 years (Leander)
1 female under 5 years (Zillah)
1 female between 10 and 15 years (Lucy)
1 female between 20 and 30 years (Lucy Prentice Eagles)
Anyone have any pointers or suggestions? I've reached a complete dead-end on this one. Thanks for any help!
