Kitturah [McFarland] Fox - Short Bio

Kitturah McFarland was born in Ohio the day war was declared on England by U.S. President Madison: June 12, 1812. She died February 5, 1877 in New London, Henry County, Iowa. She's buried in the Burge Cemetery near New London. She married Nathaniel Fox September 21, 1829 when they still lived in Ohio.

The fact that nothing is known about Kitturah's ancestors makes her an intriguing part of the family puzzle. She appears possibly to have native American blood in her veins, which also would be an interesting addition to the family's story.
