This woman's family traces its American origins to Pennsylvania, around the time of the French & Indian War. From there they moved to North Carolina and then westward, generation by generation: Tennessee, Arkansas, Kansas, Indian Territory (Oklahoma), New Mexico, and finally California. The girl herself married, had three sons (at least two were killed fighting for the Confederacy in the Civil War), and two daughters who married Union veterans. She died many years later in San Francisco.
