Lucinda is said to be the daughter of Jacob STRAUB & Hannah GORDON, but she is not in their household in either the 1840 or 1850 census. I suspect Lucinda was orphaned and that Jacob was her uncle.

9. "Carroll County Biographies: Jacob Straub." A Goodly Heritage. Supplement #1, Spring 1975 (online at the Carroll County "Illinois Trails" web site):

Jacob Straub (1808-1889) was the first of three brothers to come from Snyder County, Penna., to Carroll County. He came to this country in 1854, and settled on a farm three miles west of Shannon. Later he moved to Manson, Iowa, where he died. In Pennsylvania, he had married Hannah Gordon; and they were the parents of five children: Harriet, the wife of John C. Atkins of Shannon; Lucinda, the wife of John Q.A. Clark of Savanna...

Yes, Jacob & Hannah were the parents of five childen, but not these five. Harriet and Lucinda are, at most, adopted. Jacob & Hannah's first two children were Hannah and Susan, not Harriet and Lucinda.
