• Notes

  Matilda's mother died when she was a young girl. She was raised by her grandparents John and Mary (Holliday) Carr. In 1850 she is found living with her grandparents and recently widowed Aunt Elizabeth in Marion Twp., Hancock Co., Ohio. No burial location has been found in Hancock county for her mother, it is therfore assumed that she died in Bucks County, PA prior to the family migration to Hancock Co., OH in 1843. The 1856 census of Delaware Co., Iowa enumerates 15 year old Matilda Cooper living with her Grandparents and cousin Simon Altman. In 1860 she is caring for her aged grandmother Mary in Brownsville Twp., Houston Co., Minnesota. However the census calls her Matilda Fowler. The 1982 History of Houston County gives the account that she was also cared for by her Aunt Elizabeth (Carr) Allbaugh. In 1910 Matilda is living in Homer Twp., Winona Co., with her widowed son in law James Nagle helping to care for his young children
