BIOGRAPHY: Lucy Jane Marshall/Middleham/Cressy

BIOGRAPHY: Lucy Jane Marshall was born October 20, 1830,1, a in Bradford New
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. born in 1849 and Annie E. born 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, born
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.
