Biography

Lodoisky/Lodusky is the daughter of John Morgan. It is not known exactly when she died; however, she filed for a widow's pension on April 3, 1893 in Walker County Georgia. She probably died after this date and before 1900, as she was not found in 1900 Census.

She was listed as "Lodoiska Boss", age 26 in the household of her sister Emma Adams in 1850. There were two young boys named Henry W. Boss in that Census; one of them, age 5, and evidently her son, was in the household of her father John Morgan. Exactly which Boss she married is unknown.

Notes

Many internet trees show her dying in Yell County, Arkansas on 1 June 1880. This is mystifying as on 6 June 1880 she was enumerated heading a household in Walker County, Georgia, consisting of her children John, William H. and Emma E. Catlett. Indeed, she was alive as late as April 3, 1893 when she applied for a widow's pension for George's Indian War service.
