OLNEY, Martha Melissa 1a

Birth Name OLNEY, Martha Melissa
Gender female
Age at Death 41 years, 4 months, 3 days

Narrative

Census: 1860 Cass Twp, Wapello, Ia
Census: 1870 Cass Twp, Wapello, Ia
Census: 1880 Cass, Wapello, Ia

I believe that this is the Martha Malissa Olney who married Elias Canfield and whose children married in Wapello Co., IA. Her family was living in Wapello County at this time. There were Olneys from another line living in Carroll County, IL. Martha's family lived in McLean County, Illinois before removing to Wapello County, Iowa.
This couple and their descendants are found in WFT Vol. 1 #0544.

1880 Census (Martha, wife of Elias Canfield) shows her parents born in OH and VT -- this does not fit the daughter of Hamilton and Rebecca Olney. But the 1870 Census shows brother-in-law, Robert Olney, living with the Canfields, and this DOES fit this family. The age of Martha, wife of Silas Canfield, fits with Melissa, daughter of Hamilton Olney, but there IS a younger daughter named Martha. WHO IS THIS??
