My great-great grandfather was John Nauman (Birth: 13 Aug 1829 in Paradise, Lancaster, Pennsylvania; Death: 9 Jul 1894 in Boyceville, Dunn, Wisconsin.) I'm looking for more information about his first wife, Lavina, whose maiden name I think was Crotcher. According to a family history that my grandfather, Alex Nauman, wrote down, she was born 7 Sep 1838 in Pennsylvania & died 12 Oct 1869. She is buried in Eau Claire, WI - although it's possible that she died somewhere else. They were married in 1851 (she would have been only 13), although their first child (Sarah Ann) wasn't born until 1856. The 1860 census has them listed as John & Lovina Namin, in Madison, Luzerne, PA, (along with their daughters Sarah A, 8, & Mary E, 1.) The 1870 census has John Nauman (Nouman) in the town of Wheaton, Chippewa County, WI (with children Elizabeth 12, Emery 10, & John 7.) He married Julia Ann Baker Culp (the widow of Cornelius Culp) on 13 Sep 1870.
John & Lavina's children:
Sarah Ann 1856-1940 (married Philip Albert Kingsland)
Mary Elizabeth "Libby" 1859-1938 (married Jacob Eclistic Culp)
Emery Isaiah 1861-1933 (married Carrie May Decker)
John Frederick "Fred" 1863-1941 (married Emma Lena Kolb)
Any help is appreciated!
