Looking for any info of these two sisters, both born in Missouri Catharine in 18 29 and and Mary Jane in1836. Parents were Joseph and Jane Luce. Would also like to know about their indian heritage . Mary Jane is my Great Grandmother . I think both sisters were at one time married to men last name Allen. Any information would be appreciated

In searching for my Mary Jane Luce, who was born 50 years later than your Mary Jane, I was struck by your interest in any Indian heritage info. I can't say I have that to offer, but my Mary Jane (who married Joseph Shetzer Jr. in NW Ohio) stated more than once that her mother's side had Indian roots, probably of the Blackfoot sect. Things are very vague about it because during her active years at the turn of the century, being an Indian in Ohio was not something you bragged about. Consequently, few family stories or names made it to present day over that misguided shame. If any of this ties in to your Luce family, please let me know.

My gg grandmother was Mary Jane Luce Allen Low. She was born on the Black River in Missouri. I have her roll number in the Cherokee tribe. I don't have the rest of her info handy at the moment, but the names Joseph and Jane Luce sound familiar. I know her second husband was Fielding Low. I am the great-granddaughter of Laura Jane Low and Alonzo Butler

Could you tell me if your Mary Jane Luce was born Apr 11 1870 was the daughter of Abraham Luce born june 19 1846 and if he is the son of Joseph H luce born 1818. Joseph is my great-great-grandfather
