the obit for my g-g-grandmother, Lucetta Hecox Lansdon,shows that she was born Feb. 16, 1825 in Meggs county, Ohio. Her father is shown as Rev. Sylvester Hecox, Baptist minister. She died July 18, 1906 in La Grande, OR.
The other messages on this board re Sylvester hecox do not mention Lucetta. Lucetta married James Lansdon in IL.
Did I find the right Hecox family? I have a fair amount of info re the Lansdon family if you are interested.
