     In his final settlement statement in her first husband's estate, filed 10 Aug 1852, the administrator reported a balance of $335 remained to be distributed "in such manor as the court may find." Nothing has been found on how the court directed those funds be distributed, nor on how the land was distributed, but the law at the time would have directed that much of it would go to his children by his two marriages.²⁶
     Lucinda married third Andrew Jackson Street, son of John M. Street and Mariah Brady, on 19 Apr 1853 in Carroll Co., MissouriG, with Rev. Aeron Baker officiating. He was a brother of the woman her brother John had married two years before.^12,13,14

Their children Mary, Mariah, Tabitha, Dorsey, Julia, and Cornelia were listed as living with them, as was E. R. Fox, age 20, who was listed as a farm laborer. It seems likely that he was a relative of hers by her second marriage, as Fawks was commonly misspelled as Fox. Sarah and John Wesley Isom, his sister and her brother, and their family were evidently living close by as they were listed as the second preceding household in the census record.²⁸
     Lucinda and Andrew appeared on the 1880 Federal Census of Morris Twp., Carroll Co., Missouri G, enumerated 22 Jun 1880. Their children Dorsey and Cornelia were listed as living with them.
