bullet  Marriage Notes:

The 1850 census shows Francis and Huldah already living together and supposedly they did not get married until 1856. In addition, Huldah's age on the census was only 23 while Francis was already 45 which makes him about 22 years older and one wonders if this was the same Huldah. However, the 1860 census once again confirms that age disparity to be true.
