Read More	Lucretia Lewis, a verified descendent of Mayflower pilgrim Edward Doty, was born in Hamilton County Ohio between 1836-1839 to Thomas Jefferson Lewis and Priscilla Rude. Lucretia’s father joined the Mormon Church in 1834 and served as Joseph Smith’s bodyguard prior to his assassination in 1844. The Lewis family broke from the teaching of the Mormon church and joined with others to create a revised version of the religion and relocated to Preparation, Iowa. Lucretia married her first husband, Henry J. Kinning Sr, in 1858 and welcomed daughter Helen Mathilda in 1859 and son Henry Lewis Kinning, Jr in 1864. Henry Sr served with the Iowa 32nd Infantry, deploying before the birth of Henry Jr and dying just 7 months later. Lucretia’s attempts to secure her widow’s pension were well documented because she had to prove that Henry Sr had fathered two children before his death. She married 2nd husband Winfield Mattocks/Mattox (no Find-A-Grave Memorial found to date) 9 months after Henry’s death but only lived with him for a few months before they separated. She then married 3rd husband, John B. Mulkins (no Find-A-Grave Memorial found to date) @ 1857 and moved to Nebraska City, Nebraska where she had a daughter Chloe @ 1858. In 1870, she and her family were living in Timber Hill, Kansas where they farmed the land. She and Mulkins added daughter Annie in 1873 and son William in 1878. In 1876, Mulkins was convicted of abusing step-daughter Helen and sent to prison. Lucretia used the funds designated to support Helen and Henry as the children of fallen Civil War Soldiers to pay for Mulkin’s lawyers and ongoing legal defense. This resulted in son Henry, at the age of 14, to claim neglect against his mother and he applied to the War Department to have the funds sent directly to him. By 1880, step-daughter Helen had married and left the area and 3rd husband Mulkins was released from prison and once again living with the family. Lucretia Lewis Kinning Mattocks Mulkins died on 5 December 1890 and burial is believed to be in Walnut Hill Cemetery Uniontown, Bourbon County, Kansas, USA.
