I can give you some information on Amanda Talbott.She remarried John Sterling, my great grandfather, and moved to Rice County, Minnesota.She was born 12Jan1852 and died 14Mar1937.Her father was Jonathan Talbott and Rachel Jones.I haven't done much research into Jonathan and Rachel yet.I've been researching John Sterling and wasn't able to find any marriage record for Amanda Talbott, but I had seen the LDS record for a marriage to Amanda Ridgway.I wasn't able to make the connection until I saw your post and found an 1880 census record showing John Sterling and Amanda with a daughter with the last name of Ridgeway, first name looks like Hortense, so I know it's the same Amanda.If you look under Ancestry - Minnesota Cemetery Inscription Index and census records for Rice County, you'll find some information on Amanda and her parents.Can you tell me what happened to Thomas Ridgway?Amanda's marriage to John Sterling was only 3 years after her marriage to Thomas Ridgway.Are you a descendent of Thomas and Amanda?
