In 1852, Lucinda's mother, Ann died, and her father, Nathan died in 1854. Her husband, Thomas then died in 1855, all being buried in Millville Cemetery. Lucinda was left with 11 children, age 3 to 18. Her oldest child, Nathan, became the man of the house and took over making sure the farm land was being cared for.
