| At http://worldconnect.rootsweb.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=:834506&id=I03696 , there is a transcription of a diary entry by a grandson of Elizabeth's. It describes her moving into his house after his mother dies so she can help take care of him and his siblings. I think it is her daughter Frances who was married to Henry Roach. She would tell him stories about moving from Virginia to the Kentucky frontier and then to the Indiana frontier. I need to get permission to copy it here. I can email a copy too. |

| Notes: John H Cunningham might be Thomas's uncle. Susannah Cunningham is Thomas's grandmother, who raised him. Susan (Cunningham) McGinnis might be Thomas's aunt. Henry Roach's first wife was Thomas's mother's sister (his aunt.) Gilford Cunningham was Thomas's brother. Susannah raised Thomas and Gilford because their parents died in 1842. Elizabeth (Summers) Allen was Thomas and Gilford's other grandmother. |
