Jacob L Icenhour (c1835-1862) and his wife, Myra Matheson Icenhour (c1841-?), of Alexander County, NC were my great-great grandparents. Amanda, their oldest child was born around 1858, married to Robert Moose c1875 and their daughter, Amy Lillian Moose married William David Benfield in July 1901. Will and Amy were my grandparents and I have good information on their descendants. I know that Amanda had a brother, Nathan born in 1861, but don’t know about any other siblings. Below are some items of interest.

When and where did Jacob die, where is he buried and is there a marked grave?

When did Myra die, where was she buried?

Any additional children from the above and information on their descendants (1880 census suggest that there were several).

When did Amanda Icenhour Moose die and where was she buried? I believe that she was alive at time of 1900 census, but have nothing beyond that. Robert Moose died in 1930 and was buried at the Stony Point Cemetery.

Would like to communicate and exchange information with anyone who has detailed information on this line. You may respond to this message board or direct to my e-mail address.

I have a question: Does any one know who Myra (Adeline "Polly" Matheson) married after Jacob Monroe Lafayette Icenhour died in 1862 (Cold Harbor VA) as mentioned on this thread? 1880-Census shows Myra Matheson-widowed, Nathan-son, Minnie J (Jane ?)-daughter born about 1866, Mary C (Catherine?) born about 1871, John E P born about 1878, and 1 month old female infant born about 1880. Also a Death Certificate for Myra Addeline Matheson Icenhour b 20 Oct 1841- d 24 Oct 1924 with spouse name Wilson Icenhour. Minnie, Mary, John were born after Jacob died and I can not find any documentation that shows a marriage to another Icenhour.
