She is listed in the 1870 Census as living with the Cody family. She married Adolphus Clear and they moved all over the country having children in Nebraska and Montana ..." Mary, Looking at the 1870 census, I see Frances in Little Grant, Grant, WI, in 1870, with a birth year of c1869. I assume this is the person you're talking about. Frances is NOT living "with the Cody family" in 1870. There is a 5-year-old female with surname Cody living there, but the head of household is George BAKER. Note that the household includes 37-year-old [Samuel or Lemuel] PENDLETON (born England); perhaps he is Frances's father. There is also a household of Pendleton men living next-door.
