Here is Cora and James Vanaman (Venman here) and family in the 1910 census. Living with them is Nancy Sindledecker, who is listed as James's mother-in-law (Cora's Mother). The theory is that this Cora is the same as the Cora Myers found living with Edward Nixon in the 1870 census. If that is correct, that would make Nancy her aunt, not her mother. I believe that Cora's real mother, Catharine died when Cora was young. That's why she's living with her grandparents in 1870. Nancy may have adopted her after Catharine's death, which would explain calling her Cora's mother here. This is all just conjecture and needs quite a bit of sorting out.
