At Waverly, Tioga Co NY in 1920 Arthur’s “daughter” was 45 year old Anna. The census taker must have been tired that day; that Anna must have been Henrietta, his wife.

c.     Charlotte G Cotton, b 1878

d.     Arthur Lambert Cotton, b 9 Feb 1883

e.     Winifred M Cotton, b May 1891

William Cotton and wife Ruth lived at Litchfield Twp in 1840, and their close neighbors were: John Cotton next door (old enough to be William’s father); Chauncy Stoe Park (husband of Nancy Merrill who was a daughter of Eleazer Merrill Jr and who was a sister-in-law of Susanna Wolcott [R2g2a] who had married Nancy Merrill’s older brother Hiram Merrill); John R Wolcott (brother-in-law of Margaret Rowan [R2g] who had married John R’s oldest brother Silas Wolcott); Jonathan Etsa; Alsop Baldwin; and John Bush. William Cotton was the first family on the 1840 census of Litchfield Twp, and the other just named families were the first seven families. (W,M, 114knqrswc)


        Augusta B Munn [R2g1k7], daughter of Ezra Munn and Jane Chandler, was born in December 1859 in Bradford Co PA (was age 6/12 in 1860, 10 in 1870). She married Albin L Merrill in 1877. Albin was born in 16 June 1852 at Litchfield, Bradford Co, son of Thomas B Merrill and Elivia Elizabeth Rose. (The 1900 census shows his birth date to be in April 1852 in PA, not July; see the following note.). Albin worked in bridge construction and as a repairman. They lived at Athens. Augusta died in 1897 and was buried in Tioga Point Cemetery at Athens (her gravestone has a birth date of 1860, yet she was in the June 1860 census, age 6/12). In 1900 Albin was living at Elmira, Chemung Co NY. He married again, to Lillian B _____, in 1901, and they lived at Elmira. She was born in NY in 1860, and this was also her second marriage. Albin died in 1915, probably at Elmira, and was buried with Augusta at Athens, PA. In 1920 Lillian still lived at Elmira, was a widow, and ran a boarding house. Albin and Augusta had two sons-

a.     Leand (Leland?) Merrill, b 1878 at Athens, Bradford Co PA. No record for him was found after 1880, so he probably died as a child. (114s)

b.     Ezzie Merrill, b & d 1886 and was buried next to his parents in Tioga Point Cemetery at Athens. (114c)

Buried next to Albin and Augusta, and their son Ezzie, are the graves of Albin’s brother Leonard P Merrill (1849-1920) and Leonard’s wife Minnie (1853-1911). In 1850 at Litchfield, Leonard Merrill was age 1 living with his parents Thomas B Merrill and Eliza, and older brother Noel Merrill. In 1860 at Litchfield, Leonard Merrill, age 10, was a son of Thomas B Merrill and his wife Eliza. Leonard’s younger brothers were Albin and Almon Merrill, both age 8. Noel was still living at home. In 1870 Noel was the only child still living with Thomas and Eliva. Almon died on 6 July 1860, age “8 Yrs & 20d’s” (hence born 16 June 1852). He was buried in the Merrill Family Cemetery at Litchfield. His gravestone says he was “son of T B & Elvia R Merrill.” Albin and Leonard were living away from home in 1870. In this same family cemetery are the graves of “Thomas B Merrill” and his wife “Eliva R” (Eliva Elizabeth Rose), plus other children. There are many Merrill graves in this cemetery. The stone engraver was apparently not well educated; some numbers were engraved backwards, and if this is the case, perhaps he figured ages wrong also; Albin said he was born in April 1852, yet his twin brother’s birth date was in June 1852. (W,110,114qrsc, 144uvw)


        Aurand Lewis Munn [R2g1b1a6], son of Wilburn Munn and Ida Adeline Robinson, was born 28 April 1894 at Caledonia, Elk Co PA and moved with his parents to Renton, WA in the 1900s.

        Charles M Munn [R2g1b1g], son of Daniel Munn and Hannah Hays, was born in September 1865 in Bradford Co PA (age 44 in 1910, 54 in 1920, 64 in 1930) and managed to avoid census takers until 1910.

Over the years they lived in PA and WV; one of their children was born in WV. Charles worked in a coal mine in 1910. This was probably the reason he lived in WV in 1897; WV has many coal mines. He was a farmer in 1920. He said his father was born in NY and his mother in PA. In 1917, according to son James, Charles lived at Penfield, Clearfield Co. Effie died in the 1920s, and Charles remained at Huston and two children lived with him in 1930. They had five children by 1910, with four still living. All but one were born in PA-

        Clarence E Munn [R2g1c7a], son of Adelbert D Munn and Augusta Park, was born 18 March 1863 at Litchfield, Bradford Co PA. He married Maud Brink in 1891 and they lived at Athens. Maud was born in TX in February 1867 and in 1880 lived at South Waverly, Bradford Co with her Brink grandparents (James and Mrs Mary Ann Brink). Maud’s father was William Brink, born in PA in 1829, and her mother was Mary W _____, born in NY in 1835. In 1870 the only Maud Brink born in TX in the late 1860s on any US census was Maude Brink, born 1868 in TX, living at Madison, WI with sisters Grace (born 1856) and Nellie (born 1863). That Maud’s mother was Mrs Mary W Brink, born in NY in 1837, and her three daughters. In 1860 Mrs Mary Brink and her daughter Grace lived with William Brink, a stone mason in Dane Co WI. That Grace Brink, born in 1856, matched the birth year of the Grace Brink from the 1870 census at Madison, Dane Co WI. Hence, this William Brink and his wife Mary W _____ were the parents of Maud. And William Brink, born in 1829, was a son of James Brink and wife Mary Ann who lived at Ulster, Bradford Co in 1850. Son William Brink, in 1850, was a 21 year old mason living with his parents at Ulster, Bradford Co PA. He apparently died in the late 1860s in WI and daughter Maud was sent back to Bradford Co to live with her paternal grandparents after 1870.

        Clarence was a teacher in 1900 and a railroad clerk in 1910. He died on 4 September 1951 at Athens. Maud died in 1957. Both are buried in Tioga Point Cemetery at Athens, close to Clarence’s brother Henry and Henry’s wife Agnes. They had two sons, both born in Bradford Co PA-

1.     Walter Adelbert Munn, b 28 Jan 1892

2.     Miles B Munn, b 29 Mar 1898

Maud Brink’s siblings were Grace Brink, born in 1856; Clem Brink, born in 1858 ; and Nellie Brink, born in 1863. All were born in Dane Co WI. After Maud was sent back to live with her grandparents in Bradford Co, her sister Grace lived with her uncle Isaac H Brink and wife Chloe E at Brooklyn, WI. Isaac was the third child in 1850 while William was the eldest. (W,Z, 114nrsuvwc, 221qr)

When Gladys was a girl, her home was three doors from Clifford’s home. Gladys worked as a grocery store clerk. Clifford died 29 June 1971 at Greenville. They had two sons-

a.     Dean Munn, b 1928 (121f)

b.     boy Munn, b 1930s (W) (Z,W,121vwfd)


        Clyde Clifton Munn [R2g1h5e], son of Benjamin F Munn and Ellen Emma Hadlock, was born 8 February 1883 at Rolland, Isabella Co MI (age 45 in 1930). He claimed a birth year of 1884 when he registered for the WW I draft, yet his birth record says 1883. Clyde was living at Perkins, Delta Co in 1918 and had married Josephine Doyle about 1909. She was born in MI in 1884 (age 45 in 1930) of a father from IA and a mother from Iceland (Ireland?). Clyde was a witness at the marriage of his brother Eugene in Delta Co. Clyde died in 1938 at Madison, Dane Co WI. In 1920 Clyde’s son Eugene lived with Clyde’s brother Elias Benjamin Munn. In 1930 Clyde and his family lived in Alger Co MI, the only Munn family there. Josephine died in 1933 and was buried in Mathias Twp Cemetery in Alger Co. They had two children-

1.     Eugene Edward Munn, b 19 Oct 1911

        Cora Munn [R2g1b2b], daughter of Luke S Munn and Phoebe Louisa Beams, was born in 1864 in Clearfield Co PA and probably married in the 1880s. (W,115s)


        Cora E Munn [R2g1f3b], daughter of Elias M Munn and Hannah Snyder, was born 28 July 1861 in Bradford Co PA and moved to Mecosta Co MI about early 1878. She was the only young adult female from PA who lived in or near Millbrook, Mecosta Co in 1880 and who was married soon before 1880. Therefore, she must be the missing child of Eliza and Elisa. Cora married Lorenzo Dow Decker in Mecosta Co on 10 October 1878. He was born in Durham Co Province ONT Canada on 20 April 1855, son of Peter S Decker from NY and Caroline Aldrich from southwest Province QUE Canada. In 1880 Cora and Lorenzo lived just outside of Millbrook. In 1904 they bought 160 acres of farmland in Mecosta Co, but he gave up farming when he was in his 60s, and became a carpenter until he retired. In 1925 they lived at Blanchard, Isabella Co and he was still a carpenter. Lorenzo died 11 November 1932 in Rolland Twp, Isabella Co Cora died there on 21 May 1940. Both are buried in the large Decker Family Cemetery in Isabella Co, as are many of her siblings. They had seven children, all born in Mecosta Co MI, and all still alive in 1900-

1.     Nora Belle Decker, b 2 Jul 1879

2.     Archie R Decker, b 10 Jan 1881

3.     child Decker (dau?), b abt 1882, was alive in 1900. (122u)

4.     Clyde O Decker, b 31 Mar 1886

5.     Blanche H Decker, b Oct 1888

6.     Gladys A Decker, b Jan 1892

7.     Irma Mildred Decker, b 1 Jul 1894

Lorenzo’s parents married in Mecosta Co in 1860. Decker family history says they married in Hope Co ONT in 1852, but Mecosta marriage records say they married in Mecosta Co in 1860. Perhaps there was a second marriage in order to keep the US Immigration Authority happy. Peter and Caroline moved to Canada where they remained until just after Lorenzo was born. In 1858 they moved to Kane Co IL, then in late 1860 moved back to MI, settling in Isabella Co. Within a few years they moved to Mecosta Co. Peter Decker died before 1900 in MI. His wife Caroline died about 1910.

The 1900 census taker was a sloppy writer. Cora and Lorenzo lived at Millbrook in 1900, family #112, census page 208B.

Mecosta, Isabella, and Gratiot Counties are neighboring counties in the center of Lower Michigan. (JY, W,122rmsuv,123Pwc)

        Daniel P Munn [R2g1b1], son of Silas Wolcott Munn and Sally M Park, was born in June 1827 in Litchfield Twp, Bradford Co PA, and died 12 July 1901 at St Marys, Elk Co. (He was age 22 in 1850, 31 in 1860, 52 in 1880.) Daniel was named after his maternal grandfather. He married Hannah Hays and they lived in Elk Co. She was born in 1836 at Fox, Elk Co, daughter of Edward Hays and Catherine E Gelnett, and died at Fox in June 1880. Daniel then moved in with his sister Phoebe at Benezette, Elk Co, but his younger children were not with him at Phoebe’s house. In 1900 Daniel lived with his son Wilburn at Jay. Daniel and Hannah had about eight children-

a.     Wilburn Munn, b Apr 1854

b.     Frank Munn, b abt 1856

c.     John H Munn, b 1859

d.     Gilbert Munn, b 1861

g.     Charles M Munn, b Sep 1865

h.     Lorinda Munn, b 1868

i.     Eliza Jane Munn, b 3 Jan 1871

Many of the names of the children of Daniel P Munn came from family records, but the family recorder did not take the time to accurately record the birth dates. And to make matters worse, Daniel was one of those people who either avoided the census taker, or else the census taker was incompetent and often missed Daniel (or both). Hence some dates were guesses, and with newer evidence coming to light, those dates have been changed somewhat. (W,JY,110, 114jkn,125s)

        Edwin Willis Munn [R2g1b1a3], son of Wilburn Munn and Ida Adeline Robinson, was born 25 May 1880 at Jay, Elk Co PA. He was 11 days old when the census taker came on June 5, and was not yet named. In 1900 he worked as a lumberman at Benezette. He married Maud J Layberger in 1900 in PA. In the 1900s the had moved with his parents to Renton, King Co WA. In 1910 he was a blacksmith, and was shown in the 1910 and 1920 census as Edward W Munn, born in 1880 in PA. In September 1918 he was Edwin Willis Munn, a mill worker at Noletta, Kitsap Co WA. The Kitsap Co birth records show that a daughter was born to “Edwin Willis Munn and Maud Layberger” on 6 March 1914. He was Edwin Munn in 1930 living with his retired parents at Renton, WA, and was then single and was still a mill worker. Maud was not with him then. She was born in Elk Co PA in July 1882, daughter of William Layberger and Rebecca J _____. At no time in WA state were there both an Edwin Munn and an Edward Munn found at the same time. Therefore, they were the same person. Edwin died at Renton, King Co WA on 18 January 1978. He and Maud had seven daughters, but Maud and the daughters were not found in WA in 1930-

a.     Sylvia A Munn, b 1902 in PA, grew up at Renton, WA. (139v,140w)

He lived with his cousin Chapin E Hadlock [R2g2k3] at Millbrook in 1900. Elias married Lillian L Clausen on 15 January 1904 in Delta Co MI. She was born in 16 January 1888 at Escanaba, Delta Co MI (age 30 in 1920), daughter of Reif Clausen (born in Denmark) and Fredricka Hartman (born in WI). They lived at Baldwin in 1910, at Perkins in 1918, and at Escanaba in 1920. In the 1920s they moved from Delta Co MI to Dane Co WI and lived at Madison. Ben was a house painter at Madison.

        Elias M Munn [R2g1f3], son of Joseph P Munn and Abigail Merrill, was born 30 June 1837 in Bradford Co PA. He married Eliza Snyder on 8 April 1857 and lived next door to his father in 1860. Eliza was born 18 December 1839 in Sheshequin Twp, Bradford Co PA, daughter of Wright Peter Snyder and Delilah Casteline. About 1878 Elias, Eliza, and their children moved to Millbrook, Mecosta Co MI. Elias’ father also went with them. Eliza claimed in 1900 and in 1910 that she had seven children and six were still living (son Floyd had died). Yet over the years, only five were found in their home. This couple were not found in the 1870 census, so the logical solution would be that they had a child, probably a daughter, born in the early 1860s and that daughter married in the late 1870s either in Bradford Co and then remained in PA when everyone else moved to MI, or else she married in Mecosta Co MI soon before 1880. Elias died in 1912 at Blanchard Village in Isabella Co and Eliza lived at Blanchard Village in 1925. She died there in 1926, age 87. The known five sons and a likely daughter were-

Elijah died 30 September 1904; he and Frances were buried in Orange Hill Cemetery near Athens. Frances’ parents lived next door in 1870; in 1880 Elijah and Frances lived with them at Litchfield. They had one child; there was a “Boarder” Worthington S Munn living with them in 1900 who was born in PA 1866, yet he was not with them in 1870 nor in 1880. He was a cousin. Elijah and Frances had a daughter-

a.     Mary Munn, b 1867 at Litchfield, PA, died in the 1870s. (114r)

In 1900, Elijah and Frances lived at Litchfield next door to Wallie Merrill (Nov1865PA) and William Merrill (Sep1833PA).

        Eliza Jane Munn [R2g1b1i], daughter of Daniel P Munn and Hannah Hays, was born 3 January 1871 at Fox, Elk Co PA. She married Elmer Lowell Moyer on 4 July 1889 at Kersey, Elk Co PA.

        Elizabeth “Betsy” Munn [R2g1e], daughter of Mary Wolcott and Thomas Atherton Munn, was born 30 January 1807 in Tomkins Co NY (PA per the 1850 census). She grew up at Litchfield Twp, Bradford Co PA. Her next younger brother and older brothers were born in NY, so Elizabeth must have also been born in NY. This was confirmed in the 1857 MN census and the 1870 to 1900 US censuses. She married Ephraim T Potts on 25 December 1829 at Litchfield, Bradford Co. In 1830 there were no Potts families in Bradford Co, so she and Ephraim must have lived with relatives then. Ephraim was born in 1809 (born 1799 per Source 110) at Vestal, NY, son of Isaac Potts and Rachel Thickstun, and died in the late-1840s in Bradford Co. Betsy then lived two doors from her brother Elijah in Bradford Co. In the mid 1850s she moved to Newburg, Fillmore Co MN and married Alanson Lansing Loomis. This was his second marriage also. He was living at Guilford, Winnebago Co IL in 1850 with ten of his children and wife Elizabeth Bush (born in PA), so the marriage with Betsy Munn likely took place in MN. Alanson’s first wife died in Fillmore Co MN in 1853. Alanson was born in PA in 1796. He and Elizabeth Munn were listed in the MN state census of 1857. Living next door in 1857 was Betsy’s son Harold, and his new wife; Betsy’s three younger other children also lived with Henry. Betsy, per the 1857 state census, was born in NY while all her children were born in PA. In 1870 Elizabeth and Alanson lived at Burr Oak, Winneshiek Co IA; he died there in 1887 and Elizabeth moved in with her son Henry and his wife. In 1900 Elizabeth was still with her daughter-in-law Julia (Julia was now a widow) at Elba, Knox Co IL. Alanson was a son of William Loomis of Litchfield, Bradford Co. She died soon after 1900 at Elba (died 10 September 1895, per Source 110, but that is probably the date Betsy’s son Henry died). She and Ephraim and then had four children-

1.     Henry Harold Potts, b 24 Sep 1828

2.     Martin Potts, b 1836

3.     Jane E Potts, b 1840

Albert served in the Civil War in Company I, 187th Regiment of the Pennsylvania Volunteers. Eliza died 20 June 1929. They lived at Litchfield, but in 1900 and 1910 Eliza lived at Athens, Bradford Co. Both were buried in Tioga Point Cemetery at Athens.

In 1920 Ella lived at Litchfield next door to nephew Archie Laverne Munn [R2g1n6c], son of Ella’s brother James, and was a widow then. Living on the other side of Ella in 1920 was nephew Alfred Ulysses Munn [R2g1n6e], another son of Ella’s brother James. The 1900 to 1930 census records showed that Ella’s mother was born in England.

        With James Drake there were no children. Her first husband’s name is unknown, but they had a daughter-

In 1870 there were two PA born Munn teenagers, Guy (age 14) and Sarah (age 15) working in the Albert Carmer-Eliza Munn [R2g1c6] home. The Carmers had children ranging in ages from 11 to 3, and one of their daughters was named Sarah Carmer. Therefore, Sarah Munn was not likely a daughter of Mrs Carmer from a prior marriage, but was instead Guy’s sister. Guy was also shown in his father and step-mother’s home in 1870. Guy gave his birth place as NJ in 1910 and 1920, yet in all census records before then he said he was born in PA. John Hadlock’s wife Phoebe was buried in Tioga Point Cemetery. She died 31 July 1895 at age 78. (114nqrsuvc)

They had two daughters-

a.     Lucie A Munn, b 1917 in Bradford Co PA. (68w)

b.     Elinor Munn, b Aug 1919 at Tioga, NY. (68w)

Note: There was a Harry Robert Munn, born in 1896 and who was killed in WW I in France in 1918, and is buried among the Munn family graves in Tioga Point Cemetery at Athens, but Harry R, the son of Charles and Carrie, was clearly identified by the 1900 and 1910 censuses as being born in 1899, not 1896. The 1900 census for the Charles and Carrie Munn family does not show a son born in 1896. They did have a son named Harley, born 16 April 1897 and who died 6 May 1975. Hence, the identity of the Harry who died in France is yet unknown. Perhaps he is a nephew of Charles and Carrie Munn. In the Tioga Point Cemetery near the grave of Charles Robert Munn there were also graves of Munn men who were of age to be the father of the WW I soldier. (M,W, 114u, 68vw)

        Henry M Munn [R2g1c4], son of Elijah Munn and Anna Merrill, was born in 1833 (age 17 in 1850, 24 in 1860, 37 in 1870, 46 in 1880) in Bradford Co PA. He married Jane Snyder on 25 January 1865; she was his second wife. The first wife may have been a Ms Park since the eldest son had that name, and she probably died in the early 1860s. Jane Snyder was born in PA in 1837, and she was likely the only mother the eldest three children knew. In the 1870s Henry and all his children moved to MI. He is shown on the 1879 Millbrook Twp, Mecosta Co directory as a carpenter and farmer living in Section 15, and settled there in 1866. Actually, this directory said that was when Henry first made a home there. He had probably made the trip to build a home for his family, then returned to Bradford Co, and then settled permanently in Mecosta Co in the mid 1870s; all his children were born in PA. In 1880 he and the youngest six were at Millbrook, Mecosta Co MI, and Park was in Isabella Co. Henry was a widower again by 1880. He married for a third time, in Mecosta Co, with Mattie F Wood, on 28 February 1887. Henry had three sons with his first wife and four more children with Jane.

        Horace Jersey Munn [R2g1f1], son of Joseph P Munn and Abigail Merrill, was born in 1832 in Bradford Co PA. He married Nancy Marie _____in the early 1850s. She was born in 1837 in NJ. Her “Marie” name was taken from her son Guy’s gravestone. It said he was a “Son of Horace Jersey and Marie.” Apparently Marie either died, or they divorced, because in 1870 Horace and his new wife Augusta _____ lived next door to his parents at Litchfield. Augusta was born in PA in 1848 (age 22 in 1870, age 32 in 1880). They married about 1867. Horace and Augusta and their three daughters moved to Millbrook, Mecosta Co MI in the late 1870s. Horace’s father, brother, and some cousins moved there about the same time. Horace died 22 July 1892, probably in Mecosta Co.

        There were two siblings who were born in the early 1880s, and their Munn father is yet unknown. But since James A was married to Mary A in 1891 when he was almost age 38, it is likely that he married before then. Buried next to James and Mary are the graves of Robert L Munn and his wife Mazie. Robert had a sister named Mollie who was born in 1883. Best solution is that both these siblings are children of James and a first wife. James had three children by 1900 with Mary A, all still living and all born in Bradford Co, plus two children from a first marriage of James-

a.     Robert Lincoln Munn, b 1881

In the 1870s they moved to Pioneer, Missaukee Co MI from Bradford Co. They had nine children; the first eight were born at Litchfield, PA, and five children were still alive in 1900-

i.     Charles S Sanders, b Nov 1872

Jerusha’s brother Adelbert lived next door in 1870.

Family records from the Brockway family show only seven children for Jerusha, yet she said, in the 1900 census, that she had nine. One child reported by the Brockway family was for a son named John, born in 1880, but in 1880 Jerusha would have been age 52, so that birth year is unlikely for Jerusha’s advanced age in 1880. Hence, John’s birth year was placed in the six year gap between Florence and Joseph. (W,110, 275s,114jkqr, 123u)


        John B Munn [R2g1b2d], son of Luke S Munn and Phoebe Louisa Beams, was born in October 1871 in Clearfield Co PA. In 1920 he lived at Benezette, Elk Co among many Chase relatives, and was single. He was still there in 1930. (W,115s,125uwf)

There is a grave for John in State Line Cemetery at Litchfield, and the barely readable stone has an unreadable age of death, but the date of death says 8 August 1863. It also says “s/o Daniel & Hannah Munn.” (114qc)


        John K Munn [R2g1c1c], son of Alanson Munn and Phoebe Kyser, was born in May 1859 in Bradford Co PA. He married Elizabeth “Lizzie” Park in 1881.

Flossie was born in September 1887 in MI, daughter of Clinton Burley and Dora M Hunter. After ten years in Detroit, Ray became sick, so they came back to Isabella Co to recuperate. He died there at Mt Pleasant on 7 December 1919 (his gravestone says 1918 for the death date, but his obit and death records says 1919). He was buried in Riverside Cemetery in Isabella Co next to Flossie’s parents. Flossie and Ray had four children-

a.     child Munn, was alive when his father died. (123N)

        Richard Lowell Munn [R2g1b7a4f], son of John Darl Munn and Eva Jane Hill, was born in August 1929 in OH. He married a Ms Yohe, and died in 1961. They had two children-

1.     Larry Richard Munn (W)

        Robert C Munn [R2g1j2], son of Thomas Munn and Mary Ann Lambert, was born in 1848 at Litchfield, Bradford Co PA. He married Harriet Campbell in 1870 and in 1880 they lived at Litchfield, She was born in 1848 at Litchfield, PA. In 1906 when his mother died, Robert lived at Endicott, Broome Co NY. In 1910 he was living in a hotel at Union, Broome Co NY without Harriet, yet he claimed he was still married. Harriet died 22 September 1888 and was buried in a small cemetery, long ago abandoned, between Athens and Litchfield. Her gravestone says “MUNN / Harriet / wife of Robert C Munn / Died Sept 22, 1888 / aged 40 yrs.” She appears to have been a granddaughter of John Campbell (born 1770s) and Mary _____ (born 1786 in NY), and was a daughter of an unknown son of John and Mary Campbell. Harriet’s parents died in the late 1840s, soon after Harriet was born, and were likely buried in the same cemetery where Harriet was buried; her uncle Nathaniel Campbell was also buried there. After her parents died, Harriet was raised by her paternal grandmother, and by her Campbell aunts and uncles at Litchfield. See Campbell note below. Robert Munn and Harriet had three children-

a.     Willie Munn, b 1871

b.     Nellie Munn, b Dec 1874

c.     Burton Thomas Munn, b 21 May 1883 (W,M, 110, 114nqrscN)

Other family names in Harriet’s cemetery were Brown, Campbell, Davidson, Kershaw, Loveland, Turner, Norton, Sherman, Stackhouse, Brainard, and White. It appears that the typical birth date was in the 1820s and 1830s, and the most recent death date was 1892. Since Harriet was a Campbell, the one Campbell gravestone may be from her family. That stone was Nathaniel Campbell, “aged 79" when he died, but the stone was too weathered to read the date. It did say he was in Company F in PA during the Civil War. Military records show that this Nathaniel was in Company F, 6th Regiment Pennsylvania Reserve Infantry (35th Pennsylvania Volunteers), and he was a Private when discharged. He lived in Bradford Co when he enlisted on 15 May 1861; he received a disability discharge on 20 January 1862.

        The 1860 census of Bradford Co shows two Harriet Campbell females who were born in PA in the 1845-1855 years, The only one who could be Harriet’s family, pieced together from census and cemetery records, was as follows:

        The 1830 and 1840 censuses for Bradford Co living at Litchfield, shows four Campbell families in 1830 and eight in 1840. Keeping in mind that two sons, William and Robert, had not married by 1850, and checking the possible families which had sons of their age groupings, yielded possible parents John Campbell (born 1770s with wife born in 1780s), and perhaps Jacob Campbell (born 1790s with wife born in 1790s) in the 1830 census. In 1840 at Litchfield was John Campbell (born 1770s with wife born 1780s) and Jacob Campbell (born 1790s with wife born 1800s). It would appear that John Campbell (Sr) is the likely choice. This John was on census page 388 in 1840; Nathaniel Campbell was on page 392 then; all other Campbell families in 1840 at Litchfield were on page 391.

        John Campbell (Sr), in 1830 (page 76) had sons matching the age groupings of Robert and William found in the 1850 census. Furthermore, he also had a daughter matching the age grouping of unmarried daughter Martha from the 1850 census, and son Nathaniel. Jacob Campbell’s household could only match daughter Martha’s age grouping. Hence, John Campbell (Sr) must be the husband of widow Mary and father of Nathaniel, Robert, William, and Martha found with this family in the 1850 to 1880 census records. At Philadelphia there were two marriage records for a John Campbell. John Campbell and Mary Cooper married on 24 May 1795; and John Campbell and Mary Ker married 25 November 1798. Neither can be the couple in Bradford Co since the two marriage dates are too early. John and Mary in Bradford Co married about 1806.

        Filling in other children found in 1830 and 1840 and who died or moved away before 1850, follows below-

a.     dau Campbell, b abt 1810, probably married in the 1830s. In 1840 there was a recently married couple in John Campbell’s home who would match the age of this daughter, and a husband of about the same age. They had no children by 1840.

b.     Nathaniel Campbell, b 1812 NY, was a son in John Campbell’s home in 1830, but was in his own home in 1840 with his wife and two sons. Nathaniel died in 1890 at Litchfield. He married Amanda _____ in the early 1830s (1840 census page 392) and lived at South Creek, Bradford Co in 1850. She was born in 1816 in PA. They had five children-

        1.     son Campbell, b abt 1834. died by 1850

        2.     son Campbell, b abt 1837, died by 1850

        3.     Beulah Campbell, b 1840 after the 1840 census

        4.     Hannah Campbell, b 1842

        5.     Jane Campbell, b 1846

c.     son Campbell, b abt 1815, was a son living in John Campbell’s home in 1830. He married by early 1830s, had four children, then died before 1850. These children lived with his siblings and mother at Litchfield in 1850-

        1.     Alexander Burnett Campbell, b 1835 in PA, died in 1918 and was buried in Tioga Point Cemetery. He married Clarissa _____. She was born in 1835 and died in 1909. Both are buried in Tioga Point Cemetery.

        2.     John Campbell, b 1841 in PA

        3.     Sarah Campbell, b 1845 at Litchfield, had not married by 1880 and lived with her uncle William Campbell.

        4.     Harriet Campbell, b 1848 at Litchfield. She married Robert C Munn [R2g1j2] in 1870.

d.     Robert Campbell, b 1816 NY, was a son still living in John Campbell’s home in 1830 and 1840. He married Lavina _____ (born PA in 1828) about 1854, lived at Litchfield, and died in the 1860s. He had five children born at Litchfield-

        1.     Robert Campbell, b 1855

        2.     George Campbell, b 1856

        3.     Florence Campbell, b 1859

        4.     Hiram Campbell, b 1860

        5.     Charles Campbell, b 1864

e.     Martha Polly Campbell, b 1817 NY, was in John Campbell’s home in 1830 and 1840, then with her widowed mother in 1850. She never married.

f.     William Campbell, b 1823, was a son in John Campbell’s home in 1830 and 1840, then was with his widowed mother in 1850.

g.     dau Campbell, b abt 1825, was in John Campbell’s home in 1830 and 1840, but was gone in 1850 (married or died).

Other early Campbell males in the 1830 and 1840 census records were: Roleof Campbell, born 3 Jan 1780, died 6 Oct 1869 and was buried in Tioga Point Cemetery. He married Elizabeth Stewart; she was born 31 Aug 1780 in NJ and died 1 Aug 1870. Roleof was a son of Jacob Campbell and Aeltje Westervelt. Rolelof had son Jacob Campbell, born 1800 in NY who married Elizabeth Struble, born 1802 in NY; Rolelof had another son William Campbell, born 13 April 1806 in NJ, died 13 Oct 1872 at Waverly; this William married Jane Harsh who was born 22 Jul 1809, and died 26 Jan 1889. (114Gjknqrsc)


        Robert Munn [R2g1c4a5], son of Park Munn and Ida B Broomfield, was born 24 March 1892 at Remus, Mecosta Co, but lived for years in Isabella Co. There was a Robert Munn who died at Joplin, MO in May 1944. This may have been the brother of Floyd A Munn [R2g1c4a2], son of Park Munn who lived there from 1910. In 1920 Robert was not living with his parents and two younger sisters at home at Chippewa, MI. In 1930 he lived with his sister Theresa at Chippewa, Isabella Co. Robert apparently never married. (M,MOd, 123uvwf)


        Robert Carroll Munn [R2g1b7a1b], son of Carroll Atherton Munn and Mary Verena Kershner, was born 8 July 1921 in Darke Co OH. He married a Ms Karn and they had two children. Robert died at Greenville, Darke Co on 14 April 1995. (Z,W,121f)


        Robert Lincoln Munn [R2g1n6a], probably a son of James Alfred Munn, was born 12 April 1881 in PA. He had a sister named Mollie who was born in 1883. Robert was not shown in his parents’ home on 21 June 1880 when the census taker made his visit. Yet the 1900 census shows son Robert L Munn’s birth date in April 1880. Therefore, his actual birth date must have been a year later, perhaps in April 1881, and he fudged his birth date by one year to impress the census taker. This was confirmed with the WW I draft registration of Robert Lincoln Munn, born 12 April 1881, and living in nearby Elmira, Chemung Co NY. He had married Mazie Chilson in January 1910 and at first they lived at Hector, Schuyler Co NY. They were at Elmira, NY in 1920, yet their children were born in PA. Mazie was born in Bradford Co PA in 1882, daughter of George Anson Chilson and Margaret Jane Johnson (both born in PA). Robert and Mazie moved back to Bradford Co by 1930, and lived at Athens where he worked in a tool shop. He died in 1941 and Mazie died in 1968. Both are buried in Tioga Point Cemetery at Athens (and his gravestone has the birth date as 1881).

        Since Robert’ grave in a section of Tioga Point Cemetery in Bradford Co, next to the graves of Ulysses T Munn and James A Munn, son of Ulysses T Munn, then Robert was likely a grandson of one of Ulysses T Munn’s sons. Of all the sons of Ulysses who could be Robert L’s father, only two could be possible fathers; the others either died by 1880, or else had married women who had no unexplained children from the 1900 and 1910 census records. The two possible fathers were James A Munn, who married late in life, if he didn’t first marry the mother of Robert, or else Frederick Munn [R2g1n8], who died in 1885. All other sons of Ulysses T Munn died before 1880. Robert L and Mazie had two children, both born in PA, probably in Bradford Co at the home of the children’s grandmother-

1.     Guy R Munn, b 8 Feb 1911

2.     George R Munn, b 1912

George Chilson and wife Margaret lived in Bradford Co PA in 1880, 1900, and in 1910. They died in Bradford Co and were buried in Tioga Point Cemetery at Athens. George served in the Union Army in the Civil War.

Buried close to Robert L Munn and wife Mazie are James A Munn, born 1853 and his wife Mary A, born 1868; Ulysses T Munn, born 1824 and his wife Charlotte, born 1822; and Fred C Munn, born 1859. (M,114ufc, 245v,144w)

        Rowen Munn [R2g1d], son of Mary Wolcott and Thomas Atherton Munn, was born 14 December 1805 at Litchfield, Bradford Co PA (NY per 1850 census). He died on 11 February 1858 in Tioga Co NY. Rowen had married Eliza Jane Andrews (spelled Andrus in some sources) in January 1828. In 1840 they lived at Tioga, Tioga Co NY (just north of Bradford Co PA). Rowen’s wife then was born in the 1810s; as for Rowen’s age, there were three men in his home, all of age to be the head of the house. One was born in the 1800s (Rowen’s age), and two were born in the 1810s (brothers? farm hands?). In 1850 Rowen and Jane still lived at Tioga. In 1860 Eliza J Munn and her youngest daughter lived at Barton, Tioga Co, and Rowen was not with her. In 1870 Jane was found living at Alba, Bradford Co, living with William Andrews (age 81) and his wife Lydia (age 82). Jane was born in NY in 1812 (age 36 in 1850, 44 in 1860, 58 in 1870). The elderly Andrews couple in 1870 were also born in NY. Jane had at least five children, one who lived with her in 1870-

She was living with her brother Guy at the home of Eliza J Munn [R2g1c6] (Guy’s father’s first cousin) and her husband Albert Carmer in 1870, soon after Guy’s and Sarah’s father had married his second wife Augusta. Therefore, Sarah Munn may also be a daughter of Horace and Marie. Sarah was not shown living with Guy and Guy’s parents in 1860. (114r)


        Sarah Louisa Munn [R2g1j5], daughter of Thomas Munn and Mary Ann Lambert, was born in 1854 in Bradford Co PA. She married Elmer Alonzo Demerest in 1875 and in 1880 they lived at Barton, Tioga Co NY (she was Sarah L in 1880, age 25; Louise, age 54 in 1910).

        Shirley J Munn [R2g1n6c4], daughter of Alfred Ulysses Munn and Goldie I Goble, was born in August 1929 at Litchfield, Bradford Co PA. (114f)


        Silas Wolcott Munn [R2g1b], son of Mary Wolcott and Thomas Atherton Munn, was born 9 September 1800 in Cayuga Co NY, but grew up and lived in Bradford Co PA. He married Sally M Park about 1825 and they lived in the Litchfield area of Bradford Co. They had eight children by 1850. Sally was born in Bradford PA on 5 June 1807, daughter of Daniel Park of Bradford Co PA and Martha Patty Saunders. In 1840 in Bradford Co PA there were four Wolcott families living nearby, between him and many of his married siblings and parents. In 1860 all of Silas’ children had either died or, left home, and he and Sally lived at Union, Clearfield Co PA (three counties to the southwest of Bradford Co) where he worked as a lumberman. Sally died 22 January 1872 in Bradford Co and in 1880 Silas was living with his son John at Jay. Silas died there on 24 December 1884.

8.     Leonard Munn, b 1845

There was a girl born about 1823 in Silas’ home in 1830, and also there was another couple living with him and Sally. This other couple could have been Sally’s sibling and in-law, and the girl was theirs. Or else this other couple and daughter was Silas’ brother Rowen and his wife and daughter.

        Wilburn Munn [R2g1b1a], son of Daniel P Munn and Hannah Hays, was born in April 1854 in Bradford Co PA. He worked as a lumberman and lived next door to his first cousin Amanda Munn [R2g1b3a] and her husband John Gardner in 1880 at Jay, Elk Co. Wilburn had married Ida Adeline Robinson about 1875. She was born in PA on 12 January 1858. In the 1900s Wilburn and his wife and all younger children moved to Renton, King Co WA where he worked as a carpenter in a rail yard. In 1930 he was still living there, and had retired. His mother-in-law, widow Anna E Robinson (spelled Robison in 1930) lived with them in 1920 and 1930; she was born in PA in 1833. Apparently Wilburn’s wife Adeline was a Ms Robinson.

        Wilburn and wife Adeline were in Elk Co PA in 1880. Adeline was age 22 then (born 1858). They had two children in their home; a boy born in the month of May 1880, and the eldest child was Blanche, age 4. In 1900 and 1910 Blanche gave her ages as if she was born in 1874 (age 26 in 1900, 36 in 1910). Blanche lived in Cambria Co PA after she married and did not move to WA with her father and siblings.

        In 1900 in Elk Co Wilburn’s wife Ida A was age 42, and had five children with four still living; they said they had been married for 25 years as of the census date in June. In 1910 at Renton, WA, Ida A was age 52 and she said she had five children, with four still alive; they claimed they had been married for 34 years as of the census date in April. In 1910 at Renton, in their home were three children (George, Laura, and Luella) and close by was son Edwin W, to make the four living children.

        Therefore, Wilburn probably married twice, and the first wife died about 1874, perhaps with the birth of her daughter Blanche. We know that Adeline was the mother of the boy born in May 1880, and Ida A was his mother living in WA. Therefore she must be Ida Adeline Robinson. Wilburn and Ida must have married in May or June of 1875, and daughter Blanche was a child of the first and unknown wife. Wilburn probably married the first wife in 1873. Counting Blanche, there were five living children in 1900, so since one had died by then, the dead child was likely born before Edwin, who was born five years after Edwin’s parents married.

        Wilburn probably died at Renton in the 1930s, and then Ida moved to CA where her son Aurand lived. She died in Alameda Co on 8 November 1956 at the age of 98. Her death record shows her name as “Ida Adeline Munn” but did not give her mother’s maiden name nor her father’s name. The six known children Wilburn had with both wives were all born in Elk Co PA-

1.     Blanche E Munn, b Aug 1874

2.     child Munn, b & d 1876-1880

3.     Edwin Willis Munn, b 25 May 1880

4.     George B Munn, b 1883

5.     Luella M Munn, b Aug 1886

6.     Aurand Lewis Munn, b 28 Apr 1894

Isabelle had three children by 1900, with two still living. The father of the yet unknown child could not be Washington since that child would show in the 1870 census. And from the 1880 census, we know that daughter Jane had died in the 1870s. Therefore the third child must have been a child of William, and born in early 1880 in order to be an adult in 1900, not living at home. (W,JY,110,54, 114nN, 62rs)

She was born at Durand, Vernon Twp on 9 September 1838 of NY born parents (age 20 in 1860, 31 in 1870, 41 in 1880), and died at Ann Arbor, MI on 27 October 1892. Her parents were Ezekiel VanWormer and his wife Sarah Jane Colf, both born in NY. In 1840 her family lived six doors from William’s family, and in 1850 were fourteen doors apart, so they knew each other as children. After Alzina died, William lived with his daughter Debbie at Vernon-

1.     Debbie Elizabeth J Reed, b Feb 1861

In 1850 in Shiawassee Co there were four girls named Alzina who were born in MI: Alzina P Wheeler, age 17; Alzina Wheaton, age 11; Alzina A Tryon, age 5; and Alzina Vanwormer, age 10.

        William Riley Reed [R2g8a3], son of Andrew W Reed and Cornelia McFail, was born 6 March 1852 at Vernon, Shiawassee Co MI. He married Elizabeth Perry about 1875 and in 1880 lived next door to his brother George at Vernon. Elizabeth was born in Canada in December 1854 and moved to the USA about 1860, right after her brother William G Perry was born, and after the summer census. Her father was Peter Perry (born in NY) and her mother was Barbara _____ (born in Canada). The 1880 census shows that her father was born in NY and her mother in Canada. William R died at Vernon on 23 October 1881 of typhoid fever. About four years later Elizabeth married again, to Thomas Dennis, and in 1900 they lived nine doors from her son Claude at Vernon. Mrs Elizabeth Dennis, in 1900, said her father was born in NY and her mother in Canada, and Elizabeth’s age closely matched that of Elizabeth in the 1870 and 1880 census. Elizabeth had no children with Thomas. She and William had a son-

a.     Claude E Reed, b May 1876 (198qrsud)


        John Rowan Reid [R2b3e2e], son of Josephine Rogers Rowan and Samuel Chester Reid, was a twin of W Harney Reid and was born 28 December 1875 at St Louis, MO. We learned of his birth place from information his twin brother gave upon returning to the US from a trip to France. John grew up at Washington DC, and in September 1918 when he registered for the WW I draft, he lived at 40 W 57th St in New York City and was a photographer. John named his nearest relative as “Princes Marie Rospigliosi, Rome, Italy.” John lived at San Diego in 1930 and was a salesman for a photo studio. He died there on 9 March 1946. John never married. (LL,M,CAd, 109s, 65f)


        Josephine Reid [R2b3e2c], daughter of Josephine Rogers Rowan and Samuel Chester Reid, was born in 1869 at New Orleans, LA. She died in childhood, probably at New Orleans. (LL,153r)


        Marie Jennings Reid [R2b3e2a], daughter of Josephine Rogers Rowan and Samuel Chester Reid, was born in 1866 at New Orleans, LA. She spent a few years as a child in MO, but grew up at Washington DC. She married Fred Parkhurst first, and then Prince Joseph Rospigliosi of Italy. On 9 January 1912 she returned to the USA from Naples, with a maid, on the ship SS Cincinnati and gave her age as 35 (born in 1877). She said she was an Italian citizen, and her closest relative at home and her home address was “Prince Rospigliosi, Palace Rospigliosi, Rome.” Her destination in the US was New York City and her reasons for this trip were to attend to matters of her mother’s estate, and to gather evidence to have her first marriage annulled so that her marriage to the prince would be accepted by the Catholic Church. Marie had two children from each marriage-

1.     Dorothy Parkhurst

2.     boy Parkhurst

3.     boy Rospigliosi

4.     girl Rospigliosi (LL,S,N, 153r,109s)


        Maud Reid [R2b3e2b], daughter of Josephine Rogers Rowan and Samuel Chester Reid, was born in 1868 in KY, spent a few years as a child at New Orleans and in MO, but grew up at Washington DC. She married a Mr Kennedy first, and married Cyrus Pierce second. From each marriage there were two children-

1.     Maude Kennedy

2.     Josephine Kennedy

3.     child Pierce

4.     child Pierce (LL,153r,109s)


        Samuel Chester Reid [R2b3e2d], son of Josephine Rogers Rowan and Samuel Chester Reid Jr, was born 24 February 1871 at New Orleans, LA. He lived there for a short while, then moved to MO in the 1870s, grew up at Washington DC from 1880, and died in CA before 1940. (LL,57, 153b,109s)


        William Harney Reid [R2b3e2f], son of Josephine Rogers Rowan and Samuel Chester Reid, was born 28 December 1875 at St Louis, MO and was a twin of John Rowan Reid. He grew up at Washington DC. In 1900 he lived at Manhattan and was a secretary. In September 1918 when he registered for the draft, he lived at 156 W 12 St at New York City, and he named, “La Princicessa Rospigliosi” at “Palazzo Rospigliosi, Roma, Italia” as his nearest relative, not Amelia. William took a sea trip to Europe in 1924, and returned from Cherbourg, France on the ship SS Berengari. He arrived on 22 March 1924 at New York City. Upon arrival in the US in the early 20th Century, it was required that each passenger put down what his birth date was, where born, and marital status. William had the 28 December 1875 date, and said he was born at St Louis, MO, and was married. Of the 26 passengers, he was the only one with the name Reid. His destination was 32 W 76th St, New York City. William took a short trip to Bermuda in February 1930, and upon his return he gave his home address as 12 E 53 St, New York City.

        William made another trip to France in 1931, and returned on March 12 from Cherbourg. His entry information was similar to the prior trip to France, but this time his address in New York City was the 12 E 53 St address, and he said he was married. He took a trip to Italy and returned in October 1935, no doubt to visit his sister Marie, and this time his marital status was “W.” There were many widowed passengers; just in case the typist was hitting a wrong key, a quick check of those with the W marital status showed that all were age 60 or more; most of the married people were younger. William was age 60, and his home address was at Scarsdale, NY. And in 1939 he took another trip to Italy, returning from Naples on September 16. William’s home address was then at Miami Beach, FL, and he was married but no wife accompanied him. William made another trip to Italy in November 1948, and his home address was the same Miami Beach address; William was then age 73. There was another person traveling with him this time, Jessie S Reid, age 54 and born in WI in 1894. Her US address was William’s, at Miami Beach. They were both married, but the ship’s passenger log didn’t say to whom, but it is here assumed to each other. Since William was married by 1924, but a widow in 1935, and married again in 1939. Jessie must have been a second wife.

        In 1930 he was married and living at Redding, Fairfield Co CT, but his wife didn’t show on the census in his home. He did have two servants and he owned a $30,000 home. He stated that he married when he was age 27, or about 1903. The New York City addresses he gave upon arriving from his numerous European trips could have been business addresses, or second homes; in the 1930 census he had no profession, so he was apparently independently wealthy. (LL,M,S,109s, 108u,154f)


        Allison Ann Rennie [R2g1g2d3a1], daughter of Cleburne Williard Rennie Jr and Myrtle Elizabeth Hamilton, was born 3 April 1947 in Tarrant Co TX.

In the summer of 1917 he lived at Denison, was a manager of an express company, and was married. In 1930 Cleburne was working at San Antonio, claimed he was married, but was living in a rooming house without his wife. In the meanwhile, their eldest son lived in a rooming house at Fort Worth at age 15. Perhaps Cleburne Sr and his wife had split up. He died at Fort Worth on 16 August 1943, and was divorced when he died. He was buried at Denison, Grayson Co. They had at least two children, all born in Tarrant Co TX-

a.     Cleburne Williard Rennie Jr, b 16 Feb 1915

        Clifton Paul Rennie [R2g1g2d6], son of Esther Eudora E Munn and Willard Henry Rennie, was born 23 June 1903 at Denison, Grayson Co TX. He married Mamie Elizabeth Tate about 1921 at age 18 and they lived in Tarrant Co in 1930. She was age 16 when they married, so was born about 1905 in TX. Clifton died in March 1971. He and Mamie had five children, all born at Denison-

a.     Clifton Carl Rennie, b 13 Mar 1924 in Grayson Co TX, lived at Mansfield near Fort Worth, and died at Fort Worth on 2 February 2003. (TXb, Z,347fP)

        Florence M Rennie [R2g1g2d5], daughter of Esther Eudora E Munn and Willard Henry Rennie, was born 1 October 1893 at Eugene, OR. In 1910 she lived with her parents at Denison, Grayson Co TX, and married Francis Wiley Ball in early 1917. He was born at McKinney, Collin Co TX on 21 May 1893, son of James Ball and Ella Wiley. Florence and Wiley lived at Denison in 1920 and by then had no children. Francis usually used his middle name. In April 1939 “F Wiley Ball” and “Florence R Ball” took a pleasure cruise on the Mississippi River on the Steam Ship Toloa. The passenger manifest showed that they then lived at Oklahoma City (at 526 N W 33rd St). Their birth dates and places were also shown. Wiley and Florence were living at Oklahoma City in 1930 (at 526 N W 33rd St) and he worked for Security Bank. They had no children. Wiley died at Oklahoma City in December 1971; Florence died there in May 1975. There were two other Ball men with similar names who were born in the 1890s and also lived in Grayson Co. These other two were Willis Ball and Wiley Ball, both born in McDonald Co MO, and sons of Frank Ball and Tiny Mitchell. (M,W,S,Z,340u,315vw, 438f)


        Minnie C Rennie [R2g1g2d4], daughter of Esther Eudora E Munn and Willard Henry Rennie, was born in 1892 in KS. She married John Robert Hendrick by 1910 and was a widow by 1930. In 1920 they lived at Denison, Grayson Co. John R was born in Fannin Co TX on 28 August 1876 (gravestone date), son of James W Hendrick and Rachel C Combs, and he was a merchant in a furniture store in 1920. In September 1918 he was an undertaker, and was not then married. He and Minnie must have married in late 1918 or in 1919. He died 8 November 1920 and was buried in Fairview Cemetery at Denison. Minnie afterwards lived with her mother at Denison. Since Minnie was age 28 in 1920, and without children then, and when she lived with her mother she still had no children, then it does not appear that she had any at all. She may be the Minnie R Hendrick who died in Bexar Co on 27 March 1973. James W Hendrick and Rachel C Combs were married in Sumner Co TN on 2 Apr 1867; Rachel was born in TN. James W lived there in 1860. They stayed in Sumner Co into the 1870s, then about 1877 moved to Fannin Co TX.
