Thanks, this helps a bit, though it only deepens the mystery! Do you know Absolom's brothers' names (see below)?
This is definitely the same Elizabeth who married William H. O'Day. Her father's name, Daniel, comes from her death certificate [1913]. She lived her entire life in Fayette County, so her father must have been there while she was growing up. Fielden Figgins the first and clan clearly passed through Fayette County, OH, on their way to Iowa, but I can't figure out how a Daniel of this age fits in. I thought he might be an older son of Fielding and his first wife, Eleanor Craig, so one of Absolom's brothers. I know all of Fielden and Charity Harvey's children went to Iowa, but I suspect the older kids stayed in Ohio, though I don't know.
The Mary you list would have been a little too young -- Mary Davis Figgins should be 49-51 in 1850.
Thanks again for the help!
