This would mean the lady seated next to him is Margaret Caroline Baker! I would like to have Benjamin's marriage/marriages and children. I have emailed you personally. Thanks again, Mae

Would the lady inquiring about the MANESS surname email me privately, I could possibly help you. A long shot, but possibly. [email protected]
