Margaret Maria Gordon was born in Waynesburg, Green County, Pennsylvania, February 29, 1852, and died at Nelson, Nebraska, June 4, 1916. In 1861 she moved with her parents (John Gordon and Hannah Shull Gordon) to Broadwell, Illinois, where she was married to Hiram H. Merrill Oct. 13 1870. They came to Nebraska in 1879 and located on a farm near Nora, where she made her home until after the death of her husband January 24, 1911.
Margaret Gordon Merrill is Grandma Vhelmae Rennick Troudt's grandmother. Margaret's child, Lucretia Merrill, is Grandma Vhelmae's mother!
Too confusing? It is for me so maybe this will help!!!
Margaret Gordon Merrill (our Leap Year Birthday Person) and Hiram Merrill had child-Lucretia Merrill, then
Lucretia Merrill Rennick and Ernest Rennick had child--Vhelmae Rennick
Vhelmae Rennick and William Troudt married and had Wesley, Ray, and OnaBeth!!!! And we are all descendants of Vhelmae and William!!!
