Lucy Bregg's parents were Isaac Bregg of New York and Christina Laurick of New York.
The Deaf Family Marriage register has Isaac Bragg marrying Eleanor M. Limebeck. He was born about 1822 in New York.
Isaac was deaf from birth, living at Watertown, Jefferson County, New York.
He was in the New York School for the deaf in 1832.
In 1860 Livingston County, Illinois, Isaac Bragg is 37, born in New York, with Lena M. 38, New York,
both deaf and dumb. Harrison 11 and Lena S. 10 were born in Illinois, Isabella E. 7 in Wisconsin.
Isaac's cousin (per the American Annals of the Deaf) Olive (Breg) Marshall died in 1863, per # 102278168, and was in Livingston County in 1860.
"I would like to ask you to see if you can find out if Olive Breg Marshall is buried
in North Emery Green Cemetery. I know Olive, my great great grandmother died in La Salle
county and I wonder if she is buried near her nephew. She died in 1863. There probably
isn't a headstone for her but perhaps there is a record of her burial??
Thank you very much,
Charlene Marshall Hicks
