Hampshire,b the oldest of what would become a family of six children. When she
was 5 or 6, her parents moved to the frontier in Illinois.c Her father farmed on
about 480 acres of land just south of the Rock River in Colona township of Henry
County and neighboring Coal Valley township of Rock Island County.d Lucy’s
father died when she was about 15. About two years later, on January 5, 1848
Lucy married William H. Middleham in Henry County Illinois.e Lucy and William
had two children, Robert S.  Birthdate: in 1849 and Annie E.  Birthdate: in 1851, both in
Illinois.f Sometime prior to 1869 Lucy and William were divorced, as each of
them remarried in that year. Lucy married Willis E. Cressy, who had recently
moved to Henry County from New Hampshire, and was a cousin on her mother’s side.

BIOGRAPHY: Willis and Lucy Jane had two children, Warren Plummer,  Birthdate: January
5, 1871 in Rock Island Illinois, and Jessie L. in 1873.g In that same year the
family moved to Chico, California where Willis taught school.2 A biography of
Willis Cressy publishing in 1903 says that he moved his family to Oregon in
1881.2 However, the 1880 census of Independence, Polk, Oregon shows Lucy Jane
Cressy as head of house with her son Warren P, while the 1880 census of Chico,
Butte, California has Willis Cressy living with William F Middlehane and his
wife Annie. At this time Lucy Jane’s younger sister Isabelle was living in
Independence with her husband Warren Cressy, Willis’s brother, and daughters
Stella (or Estella) and Mabel.h According to Willis’s biography,2 Lucy Jane died
in 1886 in Oregon.
