Okay Orcutt genealogists, here goes. In the process of assembling the Orcutts in America genealogy, I've run across some really good "puzzles" - folks I just can't seem to place. Let's see what you can do...find the parents of:

Virgil G. Orcutt
b. Jan 14, 1907
d. Jan 1996
m. Josephine Rodriguez (b. 1911) in Mar 1935. Both are from East St. Louis.

1930 IL census (St. Clair County, East St. Louis, ED 67, Page 13b)
Emil C. Krause (43) 1887 IL US US
Lulu E. (44) 1886 IL
Ethel L. (14) 1916 IL
Dorothy E. (12) 1918 IL
Virgil G. Orcutt (22) 1908 IL IL IL Clerk – railroad (nephew)

1920 IL census (St. Clair County, East St. Louis, ED 172, Page 10b)
Miles G. Thomas (55) 1865 IL TN IL
Susie (53) 1867 IL IL VT
Grace (26)(divorced) 1894 IL IL IL
Virgil Orcutt (12) 1908 IL MO IL grandson

In 1910, Miles Thomas has Susie (wife), Lulu (daughter) and Grace (daughter) in the house. Lulu is above who married Emil Krause, so she’s ruled out as Virgil’s mother. Grace is in the house and single, so that leaves one additional daughter (Carrie) who is Virgil’s mother (b. Jan 1887) who shows up in the 1900 census.

Carrie Thomas married J.R. Orcutt on Jan 18, 1905 in St. Clair County.
