Dora Belcher-516 is whose daughter?

Question

I've seen it as both Belcher-514 and 518, or are there 2 doras? and if so why does most places show them married to a Prentice Loveless? I can't make any sense out of it.

Answer 1

1900 US Census, Patoka Twp., Crawford Co., IN

Dora Belcher was born Apr 1891. Her father is James F. Belcher age 61. At the time of the 1900 US Census, Hanna J was James F. Belcher's wife age 47. Two stepsons include Clement Trusty age 22 and Thomas A Trusty age 20. Two daughters are Dora age 9 and Dellia S age 7.

The wife in this census, Hanna J., is not the name of the wife in the WikiTree profile.

Comments

Her name was Johanna but they shortened it to Hanna not officially but...James F. Belcher had another wife whose last name was Helphenstine or Chadd. I can't figure out which..

I'dd add her too if I could figure out her maiden name and first married name...
