"Marcus" was America Jane Porter's nickname...she appeared in the 1870 census for Elliott Co., KY under that name, and then appeared in the 1880 census for Elliott Co., KY under the name of Jane. Ollie Missouri Wells Porter was listed as "Pollie", age 3, in the 1880 census...according to the family history, Ollie is definitely America Jane Porter's daughter. Ollie was my gr-gr-grandmother, and her husband was John Wesley Kitchen, my gr-gr-grandfather. I am completely astounded by the Ohio Death Certificate you attached to your response because those are the exact same birth and death dates for Ollie Kitchen! According to the family history, Ollie died in Columbus, OH, which is right next door to Madison Co., OH noted as the place of death on the death certificate. More mysteries, or just sloppy work by the coroner's office? If this is actually Ollie Porter Kitchen's death certificate, why was she listed as "Russel R. Kitchen"?? "Webbfield" noted on the death certificate should be "Webbville". That's the actual name of the town and cemetery in Lawrence Co., KY. Could Robert Wells listed as her father be the same as "Nelson" Wells in the family history? Jane Porter works well as Ollie's mother because "Jane" was part of her mother's full name...America Jane "Marcus" Porter.
