Lucinda Runyon of Kentucky

[billpaeth]

Lucinda Runyon was "born on 10 MAR 1836 at Wayne Co., KY on a farm" This statement she made on her widow's pension application dated 25 OCT 1916. A news paper article on their 50th wedding anniversary states" Mrs Shearer was born in Rockcastle Co., KY in 1836" Another family genealogist stated that she was born in Livingston Co., KY on (same date). A volunteer at the Montecello, KY library thought that Livingston could be the city in Clinton Co., KY with that name. What we do know is that Lucinda came to Polk Co., Iowa about the age of 14 with a family named Ware. The 1850 census gives her name as Lucinda Ware, age 14, b. KY. J R Shearer and Lucinda were married 28 DEC 1854 in Des Moines, Polk Co., IA and her name on the license is 'Lucinda Runion' The Ware family consist of George, Nancy, and son Levi. By the 1880 census George is blind and he and Nancy live with the Shearer family. The family Bible also states the "Grandmother Runyon died 22 MAR 1854. NOW we come to my question: Who are her family, parents in Kentucky? We can not seem to find any reference to her there. Is there any info that might help us continue the line? Thanks, Bill
