Narrative

I have found no indication that Florrie ever married or had children.

Her father, Elijah, died when she was eight months old; her mother, Elizabeth, afterwards went to live with Elijah's father (Henry), and kept Florrie's older brother Genoa with her to work on Henry's farm (as counted in the 1870 US Census). Florrie's sister Alice's whereabouts after the death of Elijah are unknown for 1870, but by 1880 she was married and living with her husband, Jehial Fox. In 1870, the ten-year-old Florrie was living with the Jacob Barnet family, though whether as a foster daughter or a servant is unknown. By 1880, Florrie and her mother, Elizabeth, were living with her sister Alice and her family, where they remained until their deaths.
