He married (1) HARRIET GARDNER2. He married (2) JANE C.. (Trying to determine the name of Edward's wife and any other details of his life!) There is a listing on WorldConnect that joins Henry to Edward and Harriett. It lists his birth place as Clearfield, PA As we said we don't think we are related. We are searching for a girl born about April 21, 1865 in Juneau Co. She was orphaned by 1870 and living in Dodge Co., MN. She appears to have been adopted by 2 Stanbridge Sisters (Olive and Sarah). We know her as Mary Emma (unknown) (Gould) (Lyke) (Cross) Stevens. If in your research, you come across a girl born about then and orphaned at a young age, we would love to know about it.
