Biography

Auburn local. Married Elliot Grey Storke in 1838, with whom she had 6 children. Storke was engaged in the mercantile business. A full biography of Mr. Storke can be found in the "History of Cayuga County," cited below. Frances knows Lydia, and addresses her as "Lydia" - we believe this is the correct "Lydia" referenced in the letters, since Hannah is listed as "Hannah (Lydia) Storke" in several censuses.
