NOTES:

  [Lilly2.FTW]     from a Letter dated 3-28-1999 I received from jody Mays johog@@citynet.net, I learned of Levi's second marriage to Louise Caroline Ellison daughterof John Francis Ellison and Mary Elizabeth Smith.[LillyGreyBowe.ftw]     1850 George W. and his father Levi are in home of grandfather on census so Levi and Rebecca were divorced by then. Also Rebecca was in home of Josiah Lilly #268 with daughter Frances age 4.     1870 census lists Louisa as Louisa C and 1880 lists her as L. Caroline.

 Other than census information, I have very little information on Levi and Rebecca. I found photos of Levi on ancestry.com  The photos came from an ancesry.com user with the user name CKINCAID121
