Has anyone come across this woman in Carter Co, KY? The will of James Alexander Henderson, 1861 lists her and her children William David & Martha Ann to receive a portion of his land. The will transcription has her last name as Mockahew which I think is an error in deciphering the original handwriting. I can find no Mockahew in the census.

Lydia Mocabee is listed in the 1860 US Census of Carter Co. KY, Olive Hill P.O., Page: 299 (AIS Census listing). I believe I found her in the Ancestry images, Carter Co., Unknown townships, image 155 of 208:

Dwelling 1113, Household 1021
Lyca Mockabee, 51, female, Hkeeper, $200 real, $50 personal property, born in KY, cannot read or write, Blind
George W. Lowder, 23, male, farmhand, b. KY
Martha A., 13, female, b. KY, attending school
William D., 9, male, b. KY, attending school

Thanks so much. I was preparing to start looking for her in the images but without an index I had no idea where to start. this confirms my thought that her name was Mocabee not Mockahew.

if you will recheck your census on Lydia, she was not blind however Jane Henderson was blind. Thats why Lydia was living with them, to take care of Jane. For so Mr. Henderson willed her the land.
