Her name appears as Lucinda in most genealogies, but it varies in records . It is Lucina in her first marriage license and the 1880 census where she is a widowed head of household. It is transcribed as Louine in her second marriage record, which may have been Louise, similar to her name in the 1870 census as Louisa. Her name is recorded again as Lucina in the 1880 census, actually two times under this name, since she was reported with two different households and the same three children, with the spellings Lucina and Lusina. This wife of Marvel Green under several name forms is the same person, because in the censuses there are several households next door or nearby with the surname Kessinger. Her name in two compilation collections is Lucinda, matching most genealogies. With Louisa or some variation, and one marriage record and the census having her name as Lucina, it seems likely her name was Lucina Louisa or Lucina Louise. It would be wonderful to see some of the original records besides the censuses. Only transcriptions have been available. World Family Tree Vol. 146, Pedigree #36 Lucinda Kessinger Birth Oct 1833 Death 1914 Family Data Collection - Individual Records Lucinda Kessinger Parents William Kessinger, Mary Birth 1834 Grayson, KY In several records Lucinda is reported as Louise or Louisa. In her record of marriage to William Felkel, her name was recorded as Lucina. The original records are not available for viewing. These names seem to all represent the same person. Illinois, Marriages, 1851-1900 Lucina [sic] Kessinger Gender Female Spouse Name William Felkel Marriage 17 Apr 1860 Montgomery County In the 1870 census there is a child named Lee Elliott, age 10 and two children named Felkhell, John age 9 and Edward age 9. These latter two would be twin sons of William and Lucina/Louisa. Since William and Lucina married in 1860, Lee Elliott must be the son of a previous husband of Lucina who died in about 1859 or 1860. William would have died probably in 1865 or early 1866. Lucina married Marvel Green in October 1866.

Since they are reported as half-brothers, this means they had the same mother, but different fathers. This means they had the same mother. The simplest explanation of this is that Lucina was married twice, first to a Mr Elliot, father of Lee, then to Mr Felkel, father of Edward and his twin brother John reported as 9 years old in 1870. Since we cannot confirm the birth state of their mother from this census due to the extreme fading of several areas of the page, we do not have confirming evidence of the mother's birth in Kentucky, which would match Lucina. In this census, her son Andrew Jackson Green and his wife Rebecca Kessinger were living not far away, enumerated on the second page folloiwng Lucina's record. 1880 Federal Census, Montgomery County, Illinois, 4 June, Grisham Township, District 146, page 5, Hse #39, Fam #41 Green, Andrew W M 33 Head Farmer Tenn NC NC [b abt 1847] Green, Ellen W F 31 Wife Keeping House Kentucky Kentucky Kentucky [b abt 1849] Green, William W M 10 Son IL Tenn Kentucky [b abt 1870] Green, Marvel W M 8 Son IL Tenn Kentucky [b abt 1872] Green, Beersheba W F 3 Dau At Home IL Tenn Kentucky [b abt 1877] Green, Oscar W M 3mos Son IL Tenn Kentucky [b abt Feb 1880] Another odd thing occurred in 1880. Lucina and her children are actually enumerated twice in two separate households in two different counties of Illinois, 6 days apart. The second enumeration was in a neighboring county. They apparently owned two farms near each other across the county line. On 8 June 1880, the second enumeration repeated the first with some incidental small differences. Lucina was reported as 46 instead of 47, this enumerator spelled her name Lusina, and a Kessinger family cousin was included in this Fayette County household of hers. The information on the three children is exactly the same, except for Esther's name, which this enumerator spelled as Ester, and he added her middle initial F. Incidentally, the recording of her name in both these 1880 records by two different enumerators with the same phonetic form seems fairly conclusive evidence that her proper name was Lucina, not Lucinda as several genealogies have, adding to the evidence from her first marriage record. 1880 Federal Census, Fayette County, Illinois, 8 June, Sharon Township, District 96, page 11, Hse #17, Fam #18 Green, Lusina [sic] W F 46 Head Widow Keeping House Cannot read or write Kentucky Kentucky Kentucky [b abt 1834] Green, Esther F W F 9 Dau At Home IL NC Kentucky [b abt 1871] Green, Mary A W F 6 Dau IL NC Kentucky [b abt 1874] Green, Geo A W M 4 Son Works on Farm IL NC Kentucky [b abt 1876] Kessinger, W S W M 20 Cousin Works on Farm IL Kentucky Indiana [b abt 1860]

In her pension application, Rebecca states that she has lived in Parker County, Texas, since 1854. We have the marriage date for Rebecca and her husband Andrew Jackson Bridgman in July 1855, but until a family source, Lena Bridgman Truster, made this pension information known, it was unclear when the Kidwell family moved from Illinois to Texas. -- cited in Bridgman-Kidwell, http://awtc.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=familyroots&id=I34286 Rebecca was born in Clark County, Illinois. One census report in 1910, however, when she is living as a widow with her son James, reports her birth state as Missouri. The report in 1910 that her parents were born in Kentucky matches earlier information and family records.
I have found there are other Kiefers in Brazos County, so I expect other members of Mary Ann's family moved to Texas with the other German immigrants. Nicholas Thomas died before the 1870 census.

Though Morris is another name I did not know of among German-speakers, this could be a mispelling of the German state of Bayern, a part of the Prussian Empire, where Mary Ann and Nicholas and many others came from. In the 1880 census Lewis is still single, but reported as head of the household, but unmarried in 1880, with his mother Mary Ann living with him.

Jeremiah is an ancestor of the actor Val Kilmer. In 1850, Early was enumerated as the oldest of two children in the household of his widowed mother Mary, under the name of Killmore (Kilmer). They were living in near Little Rock, Arkansas. 1850 Federal Census, Pulaski County, Arkansas, 22 November, Gray Township, Hse/Fam #276 Mary Killmore [Kilmer] 40 F $60 Real Estate b Tenn [b abt 1810] Early Killmore 17 M b Tenn [b abt 1833] Biron Killmore 14 M b Tenn [b abt 1836] In the 1860 census, we find Early in Douglas County, Missouri, with his first wife Nancy Williams and their first three children. From the ages of the children here, we can tell they moved from Tennessee to Missouri about 1855. 1860 Federal Census, Douglas County, Missouri, 13 July, P O Falling Spring, District page 28, Hse/Fam #188 Early Kilmere [sic] 27 M W Farmer $500 Real Estate $200 Personal born TN Nancy Kilmere 27 F W Wife born TN Mary E A Kilmere 6 F W Son born TN James B Kilmere 4 M W Son born MO Margaret J Kilmere 1 F W Son born MO American Civil War Soldiers Early Killmer Served Missouri for the Confederacy Enlisted as a Private in Company D, 3rd Cavalry Regiment Missouri (further information provided below as part of his memorial on Find a Grave) In the 1870 census, Early's wife is named Mary. The children of the family look right, and match the earlier reports. Is Mary Nancy's other name? None of the family sources mention a Mary. And Nancy is reported to have died in 1870 or 1871. No Mary is reported among the three wives of Early. I have not found the marriage record for Nancy or Sarah Jones Duckworth, the widow who became Early's second wife. 1870 Federal Census, Fulton County, Arkansas, 1 July, Big Spring Township, PO Bennetts Bayou, page 49, Hse #4, Fam #7 Killmore, E 36 M W Farmer $0 Real Estate $205 Personal born Tenn Killmore, Mary 34 F W Keeper of House born Tennessee Killmore, Mary 15 F W Domes-H Keeper born Tennessee Killmore, James 12 M W Farm Laborer born Missouri Killmore, Jennie 11 F W born Arkansas [matches Margaret J of 1860, who was Margaret Jane] Killmore, Sarah 9 F W born Arkansas Killmore, John 2 M W At Home born Missouri The birth states of the children indicate a lot of moving north-south. It looks like they moved from Tennessee to Missouri soon after the end of the Civil War. James was born there about 1857-1858, but they weren't in Missouri long before moving somewhere south of the border into Arkansas, where Jennie was born about 1858 or 1859. Douglas County, Missouri is just one county away for Arkansas in central Missouri. A little after the 1960 census, they moved back into Missouri, where John was born about 1862. By 1870 they are back across the border in Fulton County. Fulton County, Arkansas, borders Missouri in the Ozarks. In 1880, Early is married to Sarah H Jones Duckworth. They are living in Johnson County, Texas, south of Ft Worth. 1880 Federal Census, Johnson County, Texas, 11 June, Alvarado, District 084, page 20-21, Hse #168, Fam #173 Kilmer, Early W F 45 Head Farmer Cannot read or write Tenn NC Tenn [b abt 1835] Kilmer, Sarah H W F 38 Wife Keeping House Cannot read or write Miss Ala Ala [b abt 1842] Kilmer, Louisa A E W F 15 Dau At Home Ark Tenn Ala [b abt 1865] Kilmer, John D W M 13 Son Works on Farm AR VA AL Cannot read AR Tenn Miss [b abt 1867] Kilmer, Thomas W W M 9 Son Works on Farm AR Tenn Miss [b abt 1871] Kilmer, Martha S W F 7 Dau AR Tenn Miss [b abt 1873] - page 21 - Kilmer, Mary H W F 71 Mother Widow Cannot read or write Tenn VA NC [b abt 1889] Arkansas, County Marriages Index, 1837-1957 E Kilmer Gender Male Age 52, Birth Year abt 1836 Residence Palarm, Faulkner, Arkansas Spouse's Name S A Saylors Spouse's Gender Female Spouse's Age 40 Spouse's Residence Palarm, Faulkner, Arkansas Marriage 22 Nov 1888 Faulkner County Marriage License Date 19 Nov 1888 1900 Federal Census, Choctaw Nation, Indian Territory, 5 June, Township 9, District 76, page 3B, Hse/Fam #51 Killmer, Early Head W M Oct 1833 66 Married 12 years TN GA GA Farmer Rents Killmer, Sarah Wife W F Sept 1848 51 Married 12 years 1 child/1 living MS TN TN Killmer, Jesse Son W M Oct 1879 10 Single AR TN MS ------------------------- Jeremiah Early Kilmer Birth Oct. 11, 1832 Tennessee Death Jul. 20, 1915, Pauls Valley, Garvin County, Oklahoma Jeremiah's father James Kilmer was killed in Cherokee Wars in Georgia.
