In the family of Catherine Defenbaugh age 76, her daughter Marry Bettes (or Betters) who appears to be the Mary Defenbaugh who m. William H. Betters 1 May 1850. He died in 1868 and this couple is buried at Crownpoint Cem. Also in this household in 1880 is Laura Betters/Bettes. Under Laura's name is Emma Gause age 5 and Autella Gause age 4. I don't know why they would be listed as boarders instead of daughters, but I surmise that this is the same Laura who married William Gause and later divorced him about 19 Jun 1879. Autella Gause is my husband's great-great-grandmother. I have information on her descendants but am looking for more on her ancestors. Any help appreciated.
