Children Fares & Kera are twins. Martha may have died during childbirth or shortly after. Henry remarried in 1886 and the mar rec. shows he was a widower. Mrs. Swope told me he mar. Alice Harris, but I have a copy of the mar rec for Henry & Virginia Stewart. The 1900 census shows wife Virginia. He was 41 @ 2nd mar. Total 19 Ch. CSA Vet Bullrun, Frederickburg,Gettsburg. Co C 48th VA Inf. He picked out own casket,paid for burial, put the rest of his money in
his casket to be divided among ch when he died.DWL: Went to Texas shortly after second marriage. Scott Co marriage records 2-16-11, 2-79-40. Cannot find them in 1870 or 1880 Scott Co census. Marriage records show him as son of Elisha/Elias & Sally.
I sent Donald W. Lane all my files on Baldwin, Lane, Rhoten, 1998, Jane Combs. Donald W. Lane sent me a 228 page file of Lane's.
Received extensive file from Dan Miller 21 W. Charlton St. Cincinnati, OH 45219 email: [email protected]. He states that Henry married Virginia Stewart 18 Feb. I have copy of marr license saying it was on 09 Jan. Dan: There is some discrepancy of opinions about this man. The Morman Ancestral File of Cecil Wroten shows a son Henry of Elisha and Sally (Kimbrel) Rhoton, born ca 1845. This agrees with our thinking about this Henry. Scott Co., VA marriage records show the marriage of a Henry Rhoton age 19 (single), son of Eliska (sic) and Sally Rhoton, to Martha J. Baldwin on 15 Sep. 1863 (by E. B. Rhoton).
Martha is shown as daughter of Indy Lane, but as single at marriage. (And Mary Rhoton, probably sister of this Henry, married L. H. Baldwin). Then, there is another marriage record for a Henry Rhoton age 43 (again listed as single, is this an error? Another man?), son of Elias and Sally Rhoton, to Virginia A. Stewart, age 23 and single, on 18 Feb. 1886 (this would make the husband born ca 1845, which fits with this Henry)(Minister John M. Stewart). The Marie Nolen papers, however, state that this Henry married secondly Alice Harris, who was born in 1861 and died 06 Jan. 1936. (Virginia A. Stewart could have been the same as Alice Harris.) However, Marie Nolen has a different list of children for Henry and Martha Baldwin Rhoton. She shows the following: 1. Elizabeth m. Mr. Combs, 2. John David m. Minerva Elizabeth Yoakum, 3.Julie m. Mr. Diggs, 4. Carter, 5. Malinda, 6. William, 7. Lee, 8. Cleveland, (twin with Ellen), 9. Ellen m. Jacob Webb (I disagree). Marie Nolen then shows children of Henry Rhoton and
Alice Harris as: 1. Clay, 2.Connely, 3. Benny, 4. Dora m. Mr. Hightower, 5. Avie, 6. Nancy "Nannie". I have listed below those children of Henry and Martha based on the 1880 Scott Co., VA census. At the age of 83, he was living in Fort Worth, TX, per Civil War article (SEE under discussion of his brother Jonathan). Her served in the 48th VA Infantry during the war and saw action under Stonewall Jackson.
