Looking for Lovilla Belle Jimson(Jimison, Jimeson)'s Parents

[MHale]

Searching for information on Lovilla Belle JIMSON(JIMISON, JIMESON)’s parents. She was born abt 1853 in Ohio(according to a Texas 1880 federal census). She married John Smith McCaig ( McKeg, McKeig) in Greenwood County, Kansas in 1864. However, I can’t find anything on her parents. Has anyone tracked down a birth record or earlier census that has information on her parents?

Is it really likely that she married at 11 years old? I should think her year of birth will be a lot earlier than 1853. Will have a look.

Just for reference, this is the 1880 census entry that you mentioned:

Thornton, Limestone, Texas
McCaig John 48 Carpenter born Alabama, parents both born Miss
Belle 27 Wife Keeping House born Ohio, parents both born Ohio
William 27 Son Laborer born Miss, parents born Ala and Miss
John 20 Son At home born Kansas, parents born Ala and Miss
Martha 19 Daughter At home born Kansas, parents born Ala and Ohio
Edward 14 Son At home born Kansas, parents born Ala and Ohio
Thomas 7 Son born Kansas, parents born Ala and Ohio
Lulu 3 Daughter born Texas, parents born Ala and Ohio
Mollie 2 Daughter born Texas, parents born Ala and Ohio.

I should think the age 27 for Belle is a mistake, written in for her when it was William's age.

This is the marriage record on FamilySearch. Her surname looks like Jenison or Jerrison, and her first name looks like Louilla on at least one copy.

This could be her in 1860:

Loella B Jameson, I think it says age 12. Allen County, Ohio. Her birthplace is Ohio. Head of household is a Lyman E Rhods (I think that's what it says), age 44, farmer, born Ohio. His wife is Caroline 41, also born Ohio. But it doesn't say how Loella was related to him, if at all.

And this looks like her on the 1850 census:

Kite, I think something went wrong with your 1850 link. This one should work:
1850 census for John, Zipha, Louella and Mary Jimerson (https://www.ancestry.co.uk/interactive/8054/4193365-00163/16372228?backurl=http%3a%2f%2fsearch.ancestry.co.u k%2fcgi-bin%2fsse.dll%3fdb%3d1850usfedcenancestry%26gss%3d sfs28_ms_r_db%26new%3d1%26rank%3d1%26MS_AdvCB%3d1% 26gsfn%3dJohn%26gsfn_x%3d1%26gsln%3dJimerson%26gsl n_x%3d1%26MSAV%3d2%26uidh%3d9uh&backlabel=ReturnSearchResults)

Thanks, Janet. I've corrected mine.
