Daughter of Mary Ella Anderson & Alford/Alfred Couse(her bio says he died 1877 and buried at Dwight, IL). She is listed in will of Alfred Couse as illegitimate daughter of Alfred & Mary Ella Anderson currently living with C.H. Huggins in Gilson IL. Alfred's widow is listed also as Mary & children Mary May, Emma, & Charles.
Mary Ella's stone states wife of A. Couse so not sure if they were married or not if Alpha is listed as an illegitimate daughter??
There is an Albert Couse 1830-1878 buried Dwight with wife Mary Franklin & children Louisa, Mary, Charles. Could this be her dad??

Foster Father Charles Huggins
Foster Mother Zelia Elizabeth Huggins, her aunt
