Lost girls Eliza and Lydia Morissett 1800s
I am trying to find out what became of these 2 girls.I have a letter sent to either my grandmother(Eula Morissette Whitaker) or one of her sisters or brothers.Grandmothers father was Jerome S. Morissette and the girls would be his older half sisters.Their Father was David Morissette born 1813 in Virginia.He was first married to a Purify A. Dunnavant then to Virginia Stinson.No mention of where or when Purify passed.The letter states that the girls stayed with Zach Dunnavant.I can find an 1850 census with Zachariah Dunnavant that list the girls (Eliza as 14 and Lydia as 9) in Powhatan VA. but that is as far as I can trace them.If any one has any information on these two I would be very grateful.
