I know essentially nothing about 71Lucinda ___ life prior to her marriage. Her birth details are hardly even consistent in later censuses:

Census year Name Age Birthplace
18501 Lucinda 25 (born circa 1825) N Carolina
18602 Lucy L 36 (born circa 1824) South Carolina
18703 Lucinda 45 (born circa 1825) North Carolina
18804 Lucinda 50 (born circa 1830) Ga

As discussed previously, 71Lucinda married 70Gilford Bedgood probably in 1849. For more information about their marriage, their lives together, etc., see his profile since that information won't be repeated here.

Like her husband, 71Lucinda's whereabouts after the 1880 census4 are unknown. Her burial location is mentioned in neither Elizabeth Pritchard Newsom's book Washington County Georgia Tombstone Inscriptions nor Leroy Lewis' book Cemeteries of Jefferson County Georgia 1794-2000.
