ROOT, Louisa Cordelia^[1]

1835 - 1902  (66 years)

• Name	ROOT, Louisa Cordelia
  Birth	21 Mar 1835	Kitley, Leeds, Ontario, Canada   [2, 3]
  Gender	Female
  FindaGrave	FindAGrave Memorial 72924780
  Name	L. C. Weldon
  	On the register of her son's (Asa) birth, she is listed as L. C. Weldon. Could she have been married previously?
  Residence	1861	North Crosby, Leeds, Ontario, Canada   [3]
  	She is listed with her sister-in-law, Margaret Jane Puffer (wife-to-be of George Waffle, Jr.), and a Richard T. Root (who is listed as a "Bastard". This is not Richard Timothy Root Puffer as the dates don't match) in Kitley, Leeds, Ontario, Canada, in 1861. It is likely that this Richard T. Root is an out-of-wedlock child of Louisa Cordelia Root or one of her sisters.
