Diana, lost, but ggrandmother to thousands

Diana married David Ellsworth in about 1830, give or take a year or two. She had been the widow of James Look of Oswego, NY. By David she had 2 children: James Henry Ellsworth, born 1832 and Lucinda, born 1834. I say 'lost' because we really are not sure of her maiden name (Livingston? Herrick?), so we don't know who her parents were. Dozens of her descendants have spent thousands of hours trying to research her true identity.
