FIRST SPOUSE - Thomas Moore was born in Kentucky around 1825. Henrietta and Thomas were married 29 Jan 1846 in Clark, Indiana, USA. They moved to Monroe County, Iowa, soon after their marriage, where they had two children: Mary Louise (Lulu) Moore and Sarah Emily (Em) Moore. When Thomas died (about 1849), Henrietta moved back to Indiana with her two daughters. Death and burial records for Thomas have not been located.

According to family records Lewis and Mariamna had sixteen children, including two sets of twins. Only eight children are known. It should be noted that Mariamna is sometimes referred to as Abigail Marianne. She signed her name “Mariamna Tuttle” as one of Barzillai Willey’s heirs and as one of the claimants on his Revolutionary War pension payments. Her name is also spelled “Mariamna” on her tombstone.

Are Dela and Delia the same person?
