To date there is no proof where or when Lucinda died or where she was buried, but she is my ggg-grandmother and will be memorialized in the Sinclair Cemetery as this is the most likely place she would have been buried if she died during the 1850 or 1860s, being the sister of Nancy Cosby, whose husband William was Lucinda's step-son/brother-in-law and a close family member.
Her maiden name has been spelled Cozbie, Cazee, Crosby, Cosbie, Crosbie, and Casey.
Lucinda's parents are unknown but she was born in Western Tennessee. She was the sister of Nancy Cosby, who married William Sinclair, Mary Cosby, James (Cazee) and of Ransom Cosby who lived first in Crawford County and then in Orange County, Indiana. Both Lucinda and Nancy named children Ransom and this name was passed down through generations. Ransom's children also named their children Ransom. Check the naming conventions for families during this century. Not one of these Cosby children named their children Nicholas or Archibald, therefore it is more than likely Nicholas or Archibald Cosby is not their father. The names Ransom and James were used most often in all children born to Lucinda, Nancy and Ransom Cosby. We also do not find the names of Garland, Overton or Charles in any of this Cosby family's children. I am finding family trees with connections that are date and place impossible.
Lucinda was the maid of George and Rachel Sinclair of Harrison County, Indiana. After Rachel had her eighth child in Harrison County in 1822, documentation states Rachel put a stop to any more children so George "took up with the maid."
Lucinda had five documented children born out of wedlock between the years of 1825 and 1833: James, Thomas, Nancy, George W. Jr. and Ransom. This fact is mentioned in George and Rachel's divorce. The children born after marriage were John Abraham (Abley), UFN Letty (Letitia), Wayman and Margaret C.
Rachel divorced George in Harrison County in 1835 and turned the four youngest children out of her home by giving these children to Lucinda and George to raise, coldly declaring "ill health" in addition to protecting her inheritance from her parents. This is documented in Rachel Sharp Sinclair's divorce papers. These children were Douglas, Horatio, Abigail, and Eliza. Most of George's children from his first marriage remained close to George and his second wife Lucinda.
George and his family moved from Harrison County to Orange County and he married Lucinda there on 10 Jan 1836. They had a total of nine children together and probably more since there are two long gaps between the births of some of the children.
In 1835 both George and Lucinda were sued in Orange County (book 1) for open and notorious adultery. The were both found guilty, and were fined. George was sentenced to prison and petitioned the court for leniency for Lucinda.
This family is last enumerated on the 1850 census in Orange County, but George was still buying and selling land up until 1860.
The family cannot be found on the 1860 census, as with many of the families during the time of the Civil War, so accurate documentation is not possible at this time.
It is believed that Lucinda may have died during one of the Cholera epidemics along the Patoka River area, but this has not been PROVEN.
Her birth and death dates are APPROXIMATE and are subject to change.
We do know that two of her children (John and Margaret) were sent to Owen/Putnam counties to live with Sinclair relatives there and Wayman and Thomas were living in Marion County working as bricklayers. Letty has not been found and Thomas disappeared after 1860.
