Yes I did say Africa. It notes him as father-in-law. When you look for Africa Staples there are two listd. It just might be possible that she married an Evans and for what ever reason she then married Calvin Spinney. I would look in Androscoggin and Sagadahoc for your Estella. I could only find one Africa in the 1880 census, but maybe the other is list under intials. Maybe this will help. Rhonda Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
