• Notes

  From Kathy McDowell Cline To Dwight Thompson Date 27 Apr 2015 12:28 Subject Dear Dwight, I have recently been in touch with another researcher, Loree Davis. She says that Minerva Hastings and Thomas Morris were divorced ca 1866/7 in DeWitt, Clinton Co, IA, but I have yet to confirm that. "There is a transcription of an interview that was done with Thomas Morris in which he says "I married Minerva McCum at Sublet, Lee County, Illinois. I left her about 1866 or 1867. She procured a divorce at DeWitt Iowa, I think Clinton County. I had personal knowledge of the proceedings. I put in an appearance. The divorce was granted... I next married Alvira Scott at Lucerne, Benton County, Iowa. I can't fix a date but I think it was about 1877. I had to procure a license so it is of record." " Per FamilySearch, he married Alvira [nee CAREY] SCOTT 02/05 Nov 1869 Vinton, Benton Co, IA, so his memory may be off on other things. I am assuming this text came from his C W pension records that she has a copy of. Thomas is her GGGrandfather by his second wife. He d 17 May 1913 and is buried in Rochester Cem., Topeka, Shawnee Co, KS, verified by FindAGrave, and she sent me a photo of his stone. Placing Minerva in IA at that time was a great surprise to me and of course stirs up even more questions. What a life she had. I hope this finds you and your family well.
