---
Father: William Logsdon
Mother: Elizabeth Beheimer (spelling?)
---
Lydia was the 1st wife of Warder D. Dunbar.
---
FACT vs THEORY:
Lydia was born in KY (per Census data). She married Warder D. Dunbar (son of, Danial Dunbar), on 3-Dec-1840, in Madison County, KY. She is known to have died in Brown Co., IL., hence this memorial.
---
DISCUSSION:
She (Lydia) and Warder Dunbar appear on the US Census of 21-Aug-1850 in Township 1, S Range 2 W, Brown County, IL. Warder Dunbar was born: per source-1) on 14 Sep 1816, in Fayette County, KY. / per source-2) US Census 1850 of Brown Co., IL. in 1817, New York (but perhaps NY was the birthplace of his father)? Warder married (2nd) Maria Louisa (AKA Louisa Maria) Nardin on 28-Nov-1856 in Schuyler County, IL. He and Maria Louisa Nardin-Dunbar appear on the US Census of 15-Jun-1860 in Prairie City, McDonough County, IL. Hence, the move to Kansas occured after that date. Warder died on 5-Mar-1877 in Hallowell, Cherokee County, KS., at age 60.
