Subject: [INMARTIN] Mary Frances Wildman and Frances Wildman
Date: Tue, 21 Jan 2003 17:37:48 -0500


Several sources give 3 Apr 1861 as the date of death of Mary Frances Wildman, wife of Armsted Wildman. Can anyone tell me the source of this information? Does anyone know her date of birth?

It is also claimed that she had a daughter named Frances, born ca. 1862, and a son named George, born ca. 1862. George I can find on the censuses. But Frances does not appear on either the 1870 or the 1880 census in any Wildman household that I have checked, or in any online indexes to the censuses of Martin Co. There are several Frances Wildmans in other states.

According to Ancestry.com , Frances Wildman married Horace S. Baker 5 Nov. 1882 in Martin Co., IN, so there was one a Frances Wildman there, but who was she? Had she just moved into Martin Co. from another state? Or is there proof that she was actually the daughter of Armsted and Mary Frances? It seems strange that she would be omitted from 2 consecutive censuses, when the rest of her siblings were listed.
