Notes for Lucinda “Sindy” Easterling
Her death certificate records Sindy Easterling, age 92 years 8 months 4 days, born 15 Sep 1820 in Ky, died 19 May 1913 in Morgan Co., Ky, single, father Henry Easterling, mother’s maiden name Sina Elam, both born in Ky (althougth that is incorrect), cause of death (angina? eczema? looks like Exzena), informant Delila Vance, White Oak, Ky, burial place blank.
The birthdate is very likely incorrect. Her parents were not married until August 1820, and she appears in the 1860 census as age 30, and in the 1900 census as age 70 born March 1830. So she was probably born in 1829 or 1830.
