Notes for: Elizabeth Nocks

Elizabeth was married to a Robbins first. According to the 1880 Census of Center, Lyon Co., KS, Elizabeth's parents were from ME.

All the following is quoted rom Denise Oliver-Velez:

According to information received from Nocks researcher Diane Bockhorst, her parents were "Eben" (Ebenezer) Nocks and Lucy Hall from Maine.
She was married briefly to RP Robbins in 1852, who died in 1855.

I believe that the Robbins she married was in neighboring Dearborn county:

Name: Richard Robbins
Age: 19
Estimated birth year: abt 1831
Birth Place: Ohio
Gender: Male
Home in 1850 (City, County, State):
Manchester, Dearborn ,Indiana

After the death of Robbins, she retuned to live with her parents. This is backed up by census of 1860 where we find the widowed Elisabeth living in this household:

Age in 1860: 29
Birth Year: abt 1831
Birthplace: Indiana
Home in 1860: Delaware, Ripley, Indiana
