NOTE: My 1st cousin 2x removed. Ophelia was daughter of John Nuckles Britt. He was brother of Louisa France (Britt) Carver, my mother's "Granny".
Louisa was the only one of her birth family that remained in Glasgow, Barren County, KY. Her parents, Benjamin and Ursula Britt, with Louisa's siblings left Glasgow in the later 1870s. Went to Missouri where John Nuckles Britt was born in 1880. His parents returned to Kentucky and had Mary Ellen Britt in 1882. They left Kentucky again and settled in Harrisburg, Poinsett County, ARkansas. (Per Dorothy Hare Wigginton)
