This has been driving me nuts, because I should be able to find her in the 1860/1870 census and it seems all the Carries/Carolines are fairly well documented through census reports. Intended to go to Michigan during the summer, but that just didn't happen. Won't happen for a while. Tried to request an obituary from area papers with no response.
Wish I could find a John and Elizabeth Conklin that would match, too. A cousin of mine believes the family was of the Conklins in Ramapo, NY.
And, if it helps any, here's the link to my public tree on Ancestry:

Another possible clue is that Georgianna Lyon was probably born in Kansas..
