Research Notes

1/23: Got a wikitree suggestion for her Father. Her maiden name is Jones, like her Mother's. There is a wikitree record for her Mother's husband, John Quincy Markham, Markham-693 (orphaned). I am not certain that is her Father because of her last name being Jones. Her headstone has "Jones" also. Needs more research.
