MotherMargaret Wells (1836-1870)
Misc. Notes
Her name is spelled as Francis in a couple records.
She was listed as age 3 in the Aug 1860 census, and as born Feb 1859 in the 1900 census, but her headstone reads born 1855; so I have listed it as Feb 1856 based on the earliest record.
Frances was married about 1891 and is listed in the 1900 census as Francis A. Martin (Feb 1859, PA) with husband Wallace H. Martin (May 1853, PA) a carpenter, and his two children from a previous marriage, Susanna (Oct 1879) and Harry H. (Jan 1881).
They subsequently moved to Nebraska, and she is Francis A. (57, PA) with her husband of 19 yrs W. H. Martin (53, PA), a building contractor in 1910. It was his second marriage and her first. With them are daughter Susan (30, PA) and son Harry H. (28, PA), and nephew Joseph Wolf (12, OH).
In 1920 she is listed as a widow Francis Martin (61, PA) with her step-son Harry (38, PA) a carpenter. Her brother George and two of his sons are living with her.
She is listed as Frances A. Martin (71, PA) in 1930 in Lincoln, NE, with her brother George and his son. It says she was first married at age 32.
Then in 1940, she (82) and her brother George (77) are living together there, both widowed; along with her nephew Joseph Wolf (42, OH).
