This is a long shot, but are you the Joyce Jarvis that lives in Vienna, MO?

| Hi Cindy,
|
| Thanks for your interest. Lucy lived to be 90 years old. Her granddaughter
| (who had lived in Lucy's home all her life together with the rest of her
| family) gave the information on her death certificate and presumably for her
| obituaries. Obituary reads, "Mrs. Chases' husband passed from this life
| January 4, 1853 and on April 3, 1854 she was united in marriage to William
| Lewis. One son, John Bradford Lewis, of this place (meaning Quasqueton, IA,
| J.) was born to this union. About 1855 (after the NY interim 1855 census, in
| which this family is documented) the family migrated to Iowa, where Mr. Lewis
| died in the year 1856 at Waukon, where the widow on November 17, 1857 was
| united in marriage to Bradford Lewis, a brother of her second husband."
|
| Lucy and her third husband lived out their lives in Quasqueton. He preceded
| her in death by a few months. I would have liked to have known him. A young
| man of 21 who marries a twice widowed woman with 6 young children, who bears
| him 3 additional children, and they live together for 60 years, must have
| been some kind of guy. He was a carpenter and farmer by trade.
