Do you live in the area of Norfolk and Oxford counties? My family lived in Norfolk county during the 1861 census. It was the family of John and Lucinda Earl. He was a minister. Their son, Franklin also lived with them. I suspect John died soon after the census unless they divorced. Lucinda was on the 1870 census for Michigan living with her son, Barzillai Miles Earl. They lived in Norfolk county for many years. Lucinda and John had children named Nathaniel Churchill Earl, Franklin Washington Earl, Barzillai Miles Earl, Wellington Earl, and Lucy Earl. It is possible there were other children I have not yet found. Lucinda's maiden name was Wilkins. Her father may have been Thomas and her mother was probably Jerusha "Josie" Churchill. Lucinda had a brother named John Wilkins. He was living in Oxford Co during the 1871 census and Jerusha was living with him. I would most like to find where Jerusha died and if there is an obit. During the 1871 census she was 84 and living in Tillsonburg with her daughter, Hannah Joslyn. I believe that she died in Tillsonburg.
