Individual Details

Lucy Alderman

(Abt 1796 - 15 Sep 1824)

I corresponded with an elderly woman years ago who was descended from Lucy Alderman's brother, Hosea Alderman. If I can find her letters in a foreseeable future, I will send what she told me about Matthew. I'm thinking that she said Lucy died and Hosea raised her children because Matthew was gone, but don't quote me on that until I find what she sent me. (Jan Sharp)
