Julia married Torry before 1860. (Torry was born about 1817 and died on an unknown date.)

NOTE - Only Daniel, Edwin, and William were children born to William and Julia. I am still trying to figure out the exact relationship of the older 3 children to William. Neither Norman, Deborah, nor Timothy were listed on the 1860 census under the name of Packard but I highly suspect that Norman and Deborah Packard were the same William and Deborah Torry listed on the 1860 US Census. It appears that during those 10 years, William Porter Packard may have adopted these two children who I think were children from Julia's previous marriage.
