Being a widow at 24 in the mid-late 1800's is not unusual. A simple infection from an injury or a fever could be a killer back then. -----Original Message----- From: Samuel J.

Hi Bonnie: I have a Mary Ann Uphole b. 1856 according to the 1860-1870 census, daughter of David Uphole, no spouse. But if she was a widow; that won't work. Twenty-four seems young to be a widow.
