PALON
Mother's Maiden Name
I went to Salt Lake City for research in April 2012. During my time there I found an entry for the Althea Scoville. According to Althea Scoville's son, her maiden name was FRENCH.
My grandmother Nancy Ames was Nancy Theo Ames and I think she was named after Althea Scoville. Possibly Althea Scoville was married twice, once to a Palon and then to Geroge Scoville.
However in 1850 when Orthera was living with the Scoville family the wife of Geroge was Mary from Kentucky. So possibly Mary was married to a Palon prior to marrying George. It looks like Mary was the second wife of George based upon the ages of the children in the census and that Mary may have died between 1850 and 1860 because George is married to Althea in1860 and Orthera is no longer living with them. However I think Orthera grew up in this family and why she was missing from the 1860 census I don't know. Her sister Ruth Scoville in 1860 census referred to Orthera later in life as her sister. And if Orthera named her daughter Nancy Theo Ames she must have known both of them
I am hoping someone can help me solve this mystery.
I really don't think the maiden name of Althea Scoville is FRENCH.
On an old death certificate which is faded and now illegible the Maiden name of the mother was FINN
