Daniel Chappell, Henrietta might not have married to the father of her child Annie.. I am told that it was a common practice for a widow to take back their Maiden name after becoming a widow, so this may be why Henrietta was using the Plenty name in 1900. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- --------------------------------------------------------- Henrietta m.
