Biography

Clara Lucinda Davis was born on 10 April 1809, the daughter of James Davis (1779 - 1845) and Nancy Hawkins Davis (1781 - 1848). Her birth location is believed to be Indiana, as stated on census records, but her obituary states that she was born in Kentucky, relocating to Indiana as a small child. The family lived in a fort during the early settlement days, for protection from local Indians. ^[1]

Lucinda married Thomas Tatlock (1805 - 1886), on the 24th of Sept. 1829, in Washington Co, Indiana. ^[2] and they had at least eight children, listed below.

She died five years after Thomas, on 30 July 1891 of typhomalarial fever and is buried at Franklin Cemetery, Salem, Washington County, Indiana. ^[1]

Obituary

Mrs. Lucinda Tatlock, widow of Thomas Tatlock, Sen, died here last Thursday night of typho-malarial fever, at the age of 82 years. Deceased's maiden name was Davis. She was born in Kentucky, but was brought here while a child by her parents to Monroe Township. She remembered of living in a fort for some time while the Indians were troublesome, in her childhood. After she was married and had children of her own, she became aware that there was danger around them no less to be dreaded than the savages. She felt the need of fortifying against immortality, so she joined the M. E. church and tried to lead her family in the way of its teachings. She remained a life-long member. She has one son Charley Tatlock, and three daughters and a large number of grandchildren living. She was well respected. The funeral was preached by Rev. E.W. Cadwell, himself an old pioneer, assisted by Rev. T. J. Taylor. Thus the pioneers are fast passing away. (Special thanks to Carolyn Ellis) ^[1]
