Yes, I agree Sue, the children had to have all been Martha Hesson's. Christian had to have died between June 1, 1890 - Nov. 7, 1893. Mary K. Mary, I believe that Ray is correct with the father, but different mother. I believe that Minnie Bell, b. Sept 1, 1887; and W Sterling, b. Nov 28 1884; are siblings of Alice, b. 1886 and Mamie, b. 1888. Alice and Mamie both DIED the same year of their birth. Christian's first wife, Martha Hesson also died 1888, PROB a result of childbirth. He didn't marry Margaret Evelyn Hesson until June 1, 1890 so she could NOT have been their mother? Christian died after Jun 1890 (I don't have a death date for him), but his second wife was married to Jacob "Jake" Boston on Nov 7, 1893 and they had 8 children. She didn't have any with Christian. I think he died too soon?? Sue G In a message dated 7/15/05 8:08:05 P.M. Central Daylight Time, thackxton_c@bellsouth.net writes: have (no parents) Minne B. Boston b.September 01, 1887 d.
