Hello again:
I failed to edit my last reply so ignore my fast and error filled responses.
All things are possible but the point is No one can provide a source for saying there was this daughter. It has been placed in a tree at rootsweb by someone and this is the only place I have seen it. The census reoords do not support it or any other document that I am aware of.

We can say just about anything but can we back it up?

I wrote in a book once 'He fled to Texas to beat the hangman and his grandson asked 'Why did you go all the way to Texas Grandpa"? 'Well" he replied "That is what one did back then when he got in trouble, he went to Texas". Then, years later I find that he did not go because it was the thing one did, it was because he had an uncle in Texas who probably fled Alabama for some unknown crime. Ten years of try to find out where he went resulted in one email from a new found relative who said his uncle lived in a certain location when I had listed the uncle as "Dead at a young age". I sure missed the boat on that one!

So, we were not there so we can only support what we can doucment which I say again "Show me the document"! I learned that after stumbling around calling myself a genealogist when I had training wheels. We live, we learn, or we hope we do.
Thanks
