Individual Details
Josephine G.
(Abt 1826 - Abt 1876/77)
After her husbands death, Josephine immigrated to America either in 1869 or 1874 with her 18 or 24 year old son. They first lived in New York where she did millinery work. After a few years they left New York to make a new home in Kansas. Josephine died of typhoid fever upon reaching Kansas, leaving her son to continue alone.
A search of passenger lists finds one possiblity that might match this story: a 43 yr old woman traveled in 1869 with her 18 yr old son Edward Duval, but she lists her name as Francoise Duval. It's possible her full name is Josephine Francoise, nee G. Unless further information comes to light I won't be able to know.
