• Notes

  This may not be her name.There may be two individuals - one named Levina, b ca 1836, and one named Lidda, b ca 1824. Correspondence from a descendant of Lidda DeBoard and Travis Owen Spencer, d Sept 7, 1998: "Hi. I am looking for information on a Lydia DeBoar who married Travis Owen Spencer, b. 1830-31, d. 1866 in Cape Girardeau, MO.€ Family information lists her name as DeBoar.€ If you can help me head in the right direction, it would be greatly appreciated.€ Thanks, Deb Spencer Juhlin" Marriage record, White Co, IL: Marriage record found, White Co: "Travis O. SPENCE to Lavina L. DEBOARD on 22 June 1853, by Austin Hill." Hurshel Debord ( d Sept 9, 1998): "I don't know. I have some questions about this as well.€ The 1850 census for Robert Deboard is pretty clear and it says Lidda M. age 16.€€ The info I've seen for the€ Levinia L. say she was born about 1826 and married Travis Spencer in 1853.€ So I don't know whether Lidda M. b c 1834 is the same as Lavinia L. born about 1826 or not.€ The differences leads me to believe they may have been different people.€ "
