Almeda Lucretia Lumbard 1842-1911

Is this possibly the sister of Joseph Lumbard, who was from Danville & came to visit?? In reading this, I always thought it meant that Josiah Lumbard had a sister in Danville, but now that I have re read it many times, and found Almeda, I think it might mean Joseph had a sister?

1860 Almeda is a Teacher, living with the Andrews family:

Sarah's death certificate lists Sarah Ritter as her mother, so find out who the E. Ritter, Age 79, is in this census...

1867 - Almeda "Houseknect" married Kimber C. Ent

A. Lucretia & Kimber Ent - these are not common names.  Either Almeda's last name is a mistake, she married once before, or this is not the same couple. But I find it VERY unlikely this is not the same couple, since it's the only Kimber Ent we find in the census, and the ages make it clear they are the one and the same...

Another researcher has that Almeda married Christian Houseknecht August 11 1862.  Christian enlisted in the civil war July 29 1863, and died November 2 1863.

In 1880, the census says Almeda's mother was born in Maine.  Could that possibly be an error and it was her father born in Maine?
