• Notes

  Married: Since Edward Forest was b. IL, we looked in the IL 1860 census for Almanzer. We found what we believe to be him in Mt Morecy, Whiteside Co IL: A. H., 30, b. OH; Lucinda, 25; Frank W, 5, both b. IL. The History of Whiteside Co IL gives the family of Noah and Amanda Lewis as: Almamza, 1831 june 11; Seth R, 1832 Dec. 19; Zelemma 1835 Oct. 24; Nelson B 1838 Nov. 6. The 1850 census in Whiteside Co IL gives this family group [minus Noah who was in the CA gold rush at the time] plus Noah' s mother, Zulema (Flower) Merrill, 80, b. CT nearby. The lineage of Almanzer (8) is Noah (7,6), Icabod (5), Noah (4), Isaac (3), John (2), Nathaniel (1).
