Facts (with source information): Narrative Report

What's so great about these records?

There aren’t many records, but the ones we have are good ones. She is named in her father’s will, so there is no doubt about that relationship. And there is a marriage record, so there is not doubt about who her husband was.

We do not know her mother’s maiden name.
