The California Death Index lists a George Edgar Downing, born 9 Mar 1869 in Missouri, died 27 Oct 1947 in Los Angeles.
Can anyone tell me whether this is the same person as the son of John P. Downing and wife Eliza (maiden name unknown), listed as George age 1 in 1870 and as Eddie age 11 in 1880?
1870 census of Lafayette Co., Missouri, Freedom township, enumerated 1 July, lists on p. 55 as family #353/360:
Downing, John P., 43, b. Ky; Elisa, 25, b. Illinois; Thomas, 11, b. Ky; Jesse M., 8, b. Indiana; Harris, John, 10, b. Missouri; James, 7, b. Missouri; Downing, George, 1, b. Missouri.
1880 census of Johnson Co., Missouri, Hazle Hill township, enumerated 9 June, lists on p. 10 as family #77:
Downing, John, 52, farmer, b. Ky Ky Ky; Eliza, 38, wife, b. Ill Tenn Alabama; Jessie M., 18, son, b. Ind Ky Ky; Eddie, son, 11; Elba P., son, 9; Gertie L, dau, 6; Emmet E., son, 4; Anna, dau, 2; Harris, James P., 18, stepson. Eddie through James all listed as born Mo Ky Ill.
Judging by the step-children, Eliza/Elisa was apparently previously married to a Harris, but I do not know her maiden name. John P. Downing was previously married to Nancy Nickell in Morgan Co., Ky, they moved to Shelby Co., Ky, around 1854, then to Indiana around 1861, then to Missouri around 1865.
My connection is that John P. Downing was my GGG Uncle. I am trying to trace descendants of his parents, Dennis Downing and Mary McCormick. I'm hoping that someone from this branch can tell me what Eliza's maiden name was, and when and where she and John died.
