I am wondering if she is the same Lucinda McComas who is the daughter of Napolean McComas?She grew up in Crooked Creek Twsp. Jasper Co. as a young girl and later appears with the family in Charleston.
I currently have a guess as to her birthdate abt. 1858.I'm still investigating the line, so some information might be inaccurate.
1. MARGARET7 LONG (BENJAMIN6, CHRISTOPHER5, WARE4, JOHN3, RICHARD2, JEREMIAH1) was born November 11, 1815 in Jackson Co., Ohio, and died February 15, 1904 in Coles Co., Illinois. She married NAPOLEAN B. MCCOMAS March 14, 1836 in Hancock Co., Indiana1, son of WILLIAM MCCOMAS and DICY NAPIER. He was born Bet. 1814 - 1815 in Virginia, and died Bef. 1900.
Notes for MARGARET LONG:
1900 census indicated she had eleven children, three of whom were living. For some reason, Margaret is not listed with the family in 1850, although the N.B. McComas family is living next to her father's family. However, she does appear with him later. I don't know what the explanation could be.
Notes for NAPOLEAN B. MCCOMAS:
He purchased land in Jasper County, Illinois, near the town of Hidalgo, in 1839. Source: Bob Krepps, www.krepps.com.
