  • Notes 
    • I found a possible match in the 1870 Census in Negaunee, Michigan married to a Francis Blackwell with a son William and daughters Bessie and Jane and Anna. That info does not match the information I received from Midge Waters. There is also a Betsey Ann in the marriage index with a Francis Blackwell, so maybe Midge had it wrong - or there could be 2 Betsey Waters'.
