Where is she 1860 - not with family.

They were living in Cedarburg, Ozaukee County Wisconsin when her father's estate was probated in 1871. She is not listed with the others on the deed selling his property.

By 1900 seven children had been born and five were alive.

She filed for widow's pension Mar 9 1910 in Fulton, Rock Co., WI. It's interesting that a Joseph and John Churchill were witnesses (relatives?) and her address is RFD 5 Edgerton WI. She applied again Oct. 14 1916 in Bristol, Kenosha Co. WI.
