Loven Garrett, a Kentuckian, and Nancy Jane Dungan married about May 25, 1854, in McDonough County, Illinois.  A daughter, Lillian, was born about 1855, in Macomb.  From the History & Reminiscence Of Old Macomb Cemetery by Alex Holmes, Nancy Jane "Dungen" died on June 18, 1856, at the age of 20 years and 3 months.  (In 1880 Loven, his second wife, Anna Elisa Gadd from England, and their family were living in Macomb; they were listed in the census immediately following Theadore's elder brother, Francis Marion Frank.  In several census records, Lillian's mother's birthplace was reported as England; we believe Nancy Jane Dungan was born in Kentucky.)

McDonough County marriage license #476 was issued on September 1, 1875, at Macomb to Theodore Frank, 24, of Fountain Green, and Miss Lillian Garrett, 20, of Macomb.  They were married on the following day at Macomb by Lemuel Jones, Minister of the Gospel.
