Seeking any info on DUBLE line. William & Elizabeth (Lasley) DUBLE were married abt 1857 KY. They moved to Illinois aft 1860. They are on the 1860 KY census and 1880 IA census.

Thomas and William Henry moved on to Oklahoma in the late 1890's. Where did the other's move to? Willing to share what information I have. Thanks in advance.

Hi Susan
I believe this is the same William Duble that my great grandmother Nancy Jane Coffman Cox married after William's wife died. Elizabeth was struck by lightening sometime about 1890 and died. Nancy Jane was in the William Duble household in 1880 IA census as a servant with a couple of her children. I know my mother said that Nancy Jane left William shortly after they were married and she didn't know what happenned to William Duble. In 1930 Nancy was living with her son Fred Cox in Wright Twsp, Wayne Co., Iowa. Nancy Jane Coffman Cox Duble died in 1931 in Millerton, Wayne Co., Iowa. I don't know what became of William. William's son Charles married Nancy Jane's daughter Ida Mae Cox and they lived most of their lives in Unionville, MO. Charles and Ida were married about 1893.
Ida Mae died July 14, 1934 in Centerville, Iowa, I don't know when Charles died. Their children were Daisy, Mary, Marietta, Nellie and Albert Duble. I have no information on them. I have tried to find out when William died or where he went, but have not been able to find out anything.

Hi My great grandmother married a William Duble. Her name was Nancy Coffman Cox. She was first married to Walter Cox and had lots of Children. Walter ran off, so she was force to go to work. She went to work for William Duble, taking care of his wife who was very ill. After she died, William and Nancy got married. They never had any children between then but each had children of their own. If I can help any more please let me know. Rosella Breazeale

Update - - According to 1915 IA State Census Collection, William was living in a county home in 1915. I haven't found him in 1920 so I'm guessing he died between 1915-1920. Nancy Coffman Cox only had 2 children (Roy & Sarah) living with her when she was working for the Duble family in 1880. Where was her oldest (Ida) who would have been about 10 yrs old at the time? Living with relatives? If Walter ran off and Nancy was forced to go to work in 1880, she must have been still seeing Walter as her last child was born in 1891. Was Nancy living with the Duble family all those 11 yrs? Nancy and William married about 1894 (1900 census says they were married 6 years). By 1910 they are living apart. Also in the 1915 Iowa special census - Nancy states she is divorced and William says he is widowed. I'll keep everyone posted as to my findings. Please keep in touch - together we may solve this mystery!
Sincerely, Susan

James Cox (son to Fred Cox said his father (Fred was 8 or 9 when his dad (Walter Cox)left.That would make it 1893 or 1894. So that means he was with Nancy to have all the children.
Lizzie Cox died as an infant.
Ida May was sent to live with the Ferguson family in Wayne Co., Iowa. In the 1880 Census, she would have been around 9 years old.
Henry Cox was living in Unionville, Putnam, Missouri in 1930. He had no children. He had a wife because I have a picture of him and her. I don't know who she is. It is thought that he was bgorn earlier, before 1870. If that is the case then maybe he was old enough to take care of himself when Walter ran away.
Leroy Cox was listed as living with his mother Nancy when she was working in the Duble household in the 1880 Iowa State Census. His daughter Ida May Cox Dieken in
South Dakota told me over the phone that Walter only had 4 children before he left, and that possibly Leroy found out where his father went and followed him when he was older. Sarah Cox was listed in the 1880 Iowa State Census as living with her mkother Nancy when Nancy was working in the Duble household. It is also noted that Sarah's third husband was Albert Harrison Huntley, married in 1904, who also married her younger sister Minnie Cox in 1914. Mary Delilah Cox, Joanna Jane Cox, Walter and Wallace Cox (twins), and Frederick Cox, (my grandfather), Minnie Cox, and Herman Cox is not mentioned in connectiuon with Walter. information I received from Deloris Castor, (granddaughter).
