5. Waters, Betsey Ann was born 2 Nov 1840, St. Blazey, Cornwall, England (daughter of Watters, William and Souden, Mary); died 1926. 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'.
