Research Notes

The Marriage Record Card to Mary Stevens in Sedalia, Colorado actually gives us his middle name. This is the only record found but it does tell us that the Colorado Walter E. Stone is Walter Elijah Stone so we will go ahead and add Elijah to the record here as soon as the merge can be done.

If there are 2 different Walter E. Stone's, then I have split the Sources that may belong to the OTHER Walter Elijah Stone born in Colorado, now changed to New York and died in Minnesota.

The Below sources are for a Walter Elijah Stone that lived in Wisconsin May 1866.

The exact name, year of birth 1843-44,

Born in New York.

As we compare the above sources, in Colorado, and his death, and Walter is living with a daughter, Jennie Dunn, age: 39 years, birth Year (Estimated): 1881, birthplace: Minnesota, and he is listed as the Head of the household "Father-in-law" this proves that this daughter belongs to this Walter E. Stone. And then as we compare the other censuses the data seems to match this Walter.

I believe if there are 2 different Walter E. (Elijah, source?) Stone's it is this Walter who matches the military record for the 21st Regiment, Illinois Infantry and the 96th as the Pension card indicates.

Marriages

This marriage to Ellen L. Ronell is in the same County as the 1870 census where Sarah Adams was living with her 3 little ones, no husband.

The record does not give Ellen L.'s last name maiden or married?
