All of her children's documents that I found that list parents say that her last name is Lynch.  So I am going with that.

Apparently there were a couple of Perdilla's in Estill county.  One who married a Mr. Farmer (daughter of Calvin and Lucy (Durbin) Lynch) then there is my Perdilla who is reported by her children to be Lynch.  Not having any luck finding her parents.

I could not find a Daniel Johnson and Perdilla Lynch marriage record.  However, like the 3 other people researching this family I did find.

• Marriage to Daniel Johnson

Suggested records from this point to a married surname of Farmer.

I think being 11 in 1880 when their first child was born is a little unrealistic.

One born and living in Louisiana.

Two born and living in West Virginia.

One born in Ohio and living in West Virginia.

One born and living in Pennsylvania.

Who knew this name was so common?

I DON’T KNOW!  MOVING ON!

This is the part I know for sure:

That's it!  That's all I know for sure!  No suggested records, no hints, nothing that matches in searching records, nothing on Google, nothing on Bing, nothing in the county websites!  AAAAAAAHHHHHH! This person is TICKING ME OFF!  Usually there is something for me to go on!!!!!  Anyway she is the end of this line on this chart.  Now I can move to a completely different line.  So happy about that because this ROACH/JOHNSON/LYNCH or LUNSFORD line has been challenging every step of the way!  Next up on the ancestry trail is Edith Caroline Cook, mother of Allen Lee Roach.
