Cordelia A. WILBER

Other Events and Attributes:

• Census: 1880, Living with brother Lorenzo and niece, Kate D. McClure in Elgin, Kane Co., Illinois

Notes:

Name:
According to the 1880 Census for Elgin, Kane Co., Illinois for Charles V. McClure, there is an Aunt living with his family and the family of Lorenzo Wilbur. The aunt is listed as C.A. Russell age 78. I believe this to be Katie's aunt so it is possible that this is Cordelia/Cornelia Wilber, Lorenzo's sister. However, according to Mary's, their sister, obituary, Mary is the oldest being born in 1808. This census shows Cornelia/Cordelia as being born in 1802. I will continue to try and find other sources to confirm if this is in fact Cordelia Wilber.
