Letitia Joiner is listed on the 1850 census in Sumter Co. as age 11, so must
have been born about 1839. She and John Wesley moved to Dallas Co., AR
after the civil war. John Wesley died in 1916 as a widower, so Letitia must
have died between 1910 and 1916. There are no tombstones for either one.
The 1850 census shows Bennett and Charity with the following in their
household:
Madison
Samantha
Mary
Bethena
Latitia
Bennett and Sarah (twins)
Elmira
