Please correct misinformation on the maiden name of the mother of Rev. Randall E Powers. Her maiden name was WOOLHETHER, not Ford. The misinformation was created on the 1870 Federal Census, page 185, household/family #282, Ramsey Township, Fayette County, Illinois, under the family of Benjamin Woolhether (misspelled Wolheather). (Ancestry.com image #39). There were 3 daughters living at home, the eldest being 19 year old widow/divorcee Milly Woolhether Ford with her 2 year old son Lorathius (sp?) Ford, 14 year old Kitturah Woolhether (mother of Rev. Randall E Powers) is listed below Milly and her son, and erroneously listed as surname Ford also. The 3rd daughter, 12 year old Margaret Maggie and a 9 year old brother Benjamin, listed just below Kitturah, are correctly shown as Woolhether (misspelled).
Going back to the 1860 Federal Census, page 99, Fairfield Township, Madison County, Ohio, 14 Aug 1860, Household #715, Family #727 in the household of Benjamin Woolhether (misspelled as Wolheither) you again find 8 year old Milly, 3 year old Kitturah (misspelled as Ritoria), and 1 year old Margaret Maggie Woolhether.
Please do correct this error in the memorial, as it is being perpetuated in several family trees in Ancestry.com.
Thank you for all the effort and work you are putting into these memorials.
