NOTE - This was a strange relationship. The younger Franklin and the slightly older Daniel had fathers that were half-brothers to each other. Their father (Franklin's and Daniel's grandfather) was John Ernsberger who moved his family from Ohio to Jones County, Iowa. Some of John's children moved back to Ohio after John died in 1858 and young Daniel was one of those that returned.

bullet Marriage Notes:

Franklin and Catharine were either divorced before 1895 when he was remarried or perhaps Catharine had died sometime after the birth of their youngest daughter on 21 Apr 1888. There seems to be no records showing the Markley name or under the name of Catharine Ernsberger, born about 1856 in Ohio according to the 1880 census.

The 1900 census shows 2 of the 3 children living with Franklin and their step-mother and the 3rd child was living with another nearby family working as a servant. Based on the fact that the children were with their father, it is most likely that Catharine died sometime between 1888 and 1895.
