Today I am focusing on my newest research project and that is finding the maiden name of my 2nd great grandmother Lucinda Smith. I know that she was born in 1853 in Missouri. So, I have restricted my search to the following terms: Lucinda, birth place Missouri 1852-1854 and then I also restricted to only those records for persons residing in Wayne County Missouri between the years 1860-1870. It has returned the following names:
- Lucinda S. WILLIAMS b. 1853
- Lucinda BENNETT b. 1853
Lucinda SIPES b. 1854 Lucinda JOINER b. 1852- Lucinda CIMBEL b.1852
- Lucy P. SHEARER b. 1853
Update: 29 March, 2013- The two Lucindas that I have crossed out above have been eliminated thanks to a Facebook User who alerted me that those two appear on the 1880 census with their respective husbands at the same time my Grandmother Lucinda appears so that conclusively rules those two Lucinda`s out.
So, I am going to start at the top of the list and work my way down through each of these individuals and see if I can find any clues that may or may not link them to my family. I am beginning with Lucinda S. Williams, which is the topic of this post. I will create a new post for each individual as I get to them.
Lucinda S. WILLIAMSLucinda S. WILLIAMS was the daughter of George WILLIAMS and Cynthia Ann WILLIAMS maiden name unknown at this point.

The next thing I did was check the Missouri Death Records for the Surname WILLIAMS in Wayne County, Missouri.
