Thank you for the quick response. We have documented the children of Lydia Elliott. It is William's first wife who is the mystery - the mother of Carlton and Anna McLuen. I have a source that says Liza Long and one that says Elizabeth Jones, but neither are good quality sources.
I would also like to know if this William McLuen from Perry is related to the Guthrie McLuens.

William's wife is found. He married Sarah Elizabeth Long in Clinton, Indiana.
Thank you for your help.

McLuen researchers are requested to join a project I've started at WeRelate.org. Trying to organize all of the McLuen families as there is much confusion. Please contribute any info you may have. (Free registration required to contribute.)
