Thomas Ancestors - Generation 8 - Ella H Thomas

Well, today is the first time I have ever acquired any information about this relative! She got lost in the shuffle somewhere along the way. Unfortunately, I don't have any pictures of Ella or her husband or any of her children.

Ella H Thomas was born 20 January 1850 in Otsego County, New York, and died 07 February 1887, age 37, in Cadillac, Wexford County, Michigan. 

Ella was the daughter of Washington and Harriet Walker Thomas.

Ella Thomas married Thomas J Noggles 03 February 1871, Bangor, Michigan. (Some records say Noggle, and some records say Noggles.)

Children of Ella and Thomas Noggles are:

i. Minnie Bell Noggle 1871-1872 (age 1y 1m 13d)

ii. Myrtle N Noggle 1874-unknown

iii. Lillie Noggle 1877-1917 (m. Loren Udell)

iv. Millie T Noggle 1877-unknown* 

* Records show Millie's birth 12 November 1877. Records for Lillie give her birth date as 10 November 1877. So I wondered if they were twins. I have the official birth record for Millie, but Lillie is not listed there, and the record does not indicate that Millie was a twin. So it's all very confusing. It's entirely possible that Millie's birth record is actually Lillie. (It's amazing how many names were misspelled in official records!) Lillie is listed in the 1880 census as being 2 years old, but Millie is not listed in that same census. I don't have any other records at all for Millie -- but records show that Lillie grew up and got married and had 8 children. I think I'm going to have to come to the conclusion that Millie and Lillie are the same person (Lillie).
