(dau.) age 13, b. WI; Lucina A. Irwin, age 77, b. IN (widow)’ &
‘What's interesting about the … census is that Lucinda is listed
as FOSTER MOTHER.  Usually this means that she is related to the
head of the family as foster mother but of course it would
depend on who talked to the census taker. If Scotch talked to
him than that would mean Lucinda was her foster mother as it
wouldn't make sense that she was Shermans’
