Father*Robert Harrison2 b. 15 Feb 1779, d. May 1860
Mother*Nancy Payne3 b. 1790, d. 1886
Birth*14 October 1819Louisa Harrison was born on 14 October 1819 in Tracy, Barren County, Kentucky.1 
Marriage*6 February 1840She married, as his second wife, Elisha Carver, son of Cornilius Carver and Sally Goodman, on 6 February 1840 in Barren County, Kentucky.

A marriage bond was issued to Elisha Carver and Alexander Davasher on that date obligating them to the sum of £50 on the condition of the intended marriage shortly to be solemnized between the above bound Elisha Carver and Louisa Harrison. Robert Harrison, Louisa's father, had prepared a written statement for the County Clerk, dated 3 January 1840, confirming his approval for the marriage and explaining that he was unable to make the trip to town himself. He requested that his written document, which was witnessed by Alexander Davasher and Andrew Woodcock, be accepted by the Clerk, and that the marriage be permitted to take place. The marriage, we believe, was solemnized the same day the marriage bond was issued.2,1 
(Wife) Death5 September 1842Louisa became a widow when Elisha Carver died on 5 September 1842 at about age 41.1,4 
(Widow) Land Records21 June 1845An indenture was made and entered into on 21 June 1845 between William Garnett, a Commissioner who had been appointed by the Barren Circuit Court of Barren County, Kentucky, of the one part, and Isaac D. Powell and Thomas G. Powell of the second part, regarding a suit that had been brought by the Powells against Louisa Carver and the infant children of Elisha Carver, deceased. We note that only six of the children, Emily Carver, Lucy Carver, Elizabeth Carver, Martha Carver, John Carver and Mary T. Carver, were named, and that James L. Carver and Sarah F. Carver, also infant children of Elisha Carver, were not. Our transcription of the deed follows:

This indenture made and entered into the 21st day of June 1845 between William Garnett, a Commissioner appointed by the Barren Circuit Court, on the one part, and Isaac D. Powell and Thomas G. Powell of the second part, Witnesseth that whereas by a decree of the Barren Circuit Court, ordered at the June Term 1845 in a suit between the said Powells, Complainants, and Louisa Carver and others, Defendants, William Garnett was appointed a Commissioner and directed to convey to the Complainants by deed with general warranties all the right, title and interest which said infant defendants, to wit: Emily Carver, Lucy Carver, Martha Carver, Elizabeth Carver, John Carver and Mary T. Carver have in and to the tract of land in the suit and exhibit mentioned. Said land is described in the exhibit filed in said cause to be bounded as follows, to wit: Beginning at a sycamore and beech on Peters and Snells Creek, thence S 31 W 110 poles to a white oak and hickory, thence S 60 W 32 poles to a white oak and hickory on Graham’s Original line, thence with the same N 23 W 66 poles to a sugar tree and beech, thence N 60 E 27 poles to two beeches on the ridge, thence N 20 E 57 poles to a gum on Clark’s line, thence with the same S 82 E 76 poles to the beginning, containing 43 acres more or less.

Now, in consideration of the premises, and for the further consideration of $86 acknowledged in said exhibit, to have been paid to the ancestor of said infant defendants, I William Garnett as Commissioner on the part of said infant defendants, do hereby convey to the Complainants, all the right, title and interest which said infant defendants, Emily Carver, etc., have in and to the above-described land, to the Powells, their heirs and assigns forever. To have and to hold the same free from the claim or claims of the said infant Carvers and all other persons. In witness whereof, I as Commissioner, do hereunto set my hand and seal the day and year aforesaid.

The signature of William Garnett, Commissioner, was sealed, and the deed was recorded in Barren County, Kentucky in July 1845.5 
(Widow) Court Action10 February 1846Louisa was named as a defendant, along with her daughter and seven or her stepchildren and other heirs of her deceased husband, in a lawsuit filed by her eldest stepdaughter and her husband, Emily Jane and Martin Wood.

Case# 1472 was filed on 10 February 1846 in the Circuit Court at Glasgow, Barren County, Kentucky, whereby Martin Wood and Emily Jane his wife, who had been married on 13 September 1845 by Henry Lee in Barren County, stated that Emily Jane was the daughter and one of the heirs of Elisha Carver, deceased, and that said Carver was possessed of a tract of land lying in Barren County on the waters of Peters Creek containing 280 acres, and that Carver at the time of his death had legal title to the land, and that he died intestate.

Elisha Carver left a widow, Louisa Carver, and the following children: Lucy Carver, since intermarried with James Carver, Elizabeth Carver, Marthy Ann Carver, James L. Carver, John Carver, Mary T. Carver, and Sarah F. Carver, who with Emily Jane (Carver) Wood, were his only children and legal representatives. The six last named, except Emily, being infants under 21 years of age.

Martin and Emily stated that the land was rapidly deteriorating in value, and would in a few years be seriously and irreparably damaged by exhausting the arable land, and cutting and destroying the timber.

They stated that the land could not be advantageously divided as the share of each of the heirs would be less than $100, and that it would be to the advantage of all to sell the land and divide the proceeds.

An amendment to the above bill stated that James Jameson, Sheriff of Barren County, was appointed by the Barron County court to administer the estate of Elisha Carver, deceased, and that H. P. Curd, Deputy Sheriff for Jameson, acted as Administrator. The Plaintiffs asked that Curd be made a Defendant to the suit, and made to state the amount of the estate that had come into his hands.

In another amendment dated 21 March 1846, the Complainants stated that they understood that Charlotte Carver or her children, Joel Y. and Catherine Carver, had some claim, or pretended claim, on the estate of Elisha Carver, deceased. For the purpose of contesting all things in this suit, they asked the court to make them and John G. Rogers, who had been appointed Guardian of Joel Y. and Catherine Carver, defendants to their suit and any other bills therein, and that they answer.

Charlotte Carver’s response was filed on 26 June 1846, stating that Elisha Carver’s estate was indebted to her children, Joel Y. and Catherine Carver, in the amount of $38 each, for a total of $76. Mr. Curd, representing Charlotte, explained the indebtedness. He stated that Charlotte was the Administratrix of her deceased husband, William Carver's, estate, and that Elisha Carver was her security. Elisha became uneasy, and by way of making him safe, she sold to him her dower interest in the tract of land on which her husband lived and died, for and in consideration of his assuming to pay to Susan (Carver) Woodcock, Joel Y. and Catherine Carver the sum of $38 each being the amount of their respective interests in the estate of William Carver, their father. Elisha Carver thereafter paid Susan Woodcock her $38, but never paid Joel Y. or Catherine their parts. Curd stated that Charlotte claimed nothing for herself out of the estate of Elisha Carver, just what he owed her children.

H. P. Curd's testimony was filed on 21 March 1845, in which he admitted that Elisha Carver departed his life intestate and that by an order of the court he, Curd, as deputy for James Jameson, Sheriff, was qualified to administer the estate, which he did. He sold the personal property, settled the debts, and had in his possession $59.55 belonging to the estate. He testified that Charlotte Carver or her children, Joel Y. and Catherine, were claiming a debt of said estate amounting to $76., which she was alleging was the amount of the balance of the price agreed to be paid by Elisha for the tract of land. Curd claimed to know nothing of his own knowledge of the justness of the claim, and stated that if the claim was justly due and owing that so much of said tract of land be ordered and decreed sold as would pay the balance of $76, first deducting the amount he had in his possession, and allowing him his reasonable costs in defending the suit, including an attorney’s fee.

Testimony by attorney John G. Rogers, representing James Carver and Lucy Carver his wife, was filed on 15 June 1846. They admitted that Emily Wood was a daughter of Elisha Carver, deceased, and that he died intestate, that the heirs and legal representatives listed in the suit were correct, and that Lucy was one of the heirs and a child of Elisha Carver, deceased.

They denied that it would be to their interest to have the said land sold and the proceeds divided. They thought it would be better, and desired, that the land should be divided between the heirs, and that their portions be allotted to them even if the rest were to be sold.

The testimony of John G. Rogers, then testifying on his own behalf, was filed on 24 June 1846. He stated he was the Guardian of Joel Y. and Catherine Carver, the children of Charlotte Carver, and essentially made the same statements to the court that Charlotte had made. That Charlotte Carver was the wife of William Carver, and that her children were Susan Woodcock, Joel Y., and Catherine Carver. In addition, he told of the arrangement between Charlotte and Elisha Carver regarding her selling Elisha her dower interest in the land, that Elisha had paid Susan, and doubtless would have paid Joel Y. and Catherine if he had lived. He said Elisha died a short time thereafter.

Four deeds were submitted to the court as evidence in the court case:

John and Elizabeth Carver his wife, deed dated August 1828, sold to Elisha Carver for $118, one tract of land containing 75 acres on Peters Creek, Barren County, Kentucky, it being part of the tract conveyed by Benjamin W. Clark and his wife unto John and William Carver.

Jesse Bewley and Mary his wife, deed dated 2 August 1831, sold to Elisha Carver for $100, one tract of land on Peters Creek in Barren County, Kentucky, being the tract of land whereon Carver then lived, and the appurtenances thereon.

Ann D. Shirley of the Borough of Norfolk, State of Virginia, by George M. Pryer, her attorney-in-fact, deed dated 17 August 1833, sold to Elisha Carver for $100, 200 acres of land situated on Peters Creek, Barren County, Kentucky, it being part of a 1,333 1/3-acre survey patented to the heirs of Robert Tompkins, deceased, by patent dated 1 March 1800.


Charlotte Carver, deed dated 20 November 1841, sold to Elisha Carver for $150, and relinquished all her right of dower, her interest in a certain tract of land on Peters Creek owned by her husband William Carver, to have and to hold during her life.

Alexander L. Devasher was deposed on 17 September 1846 and asked about the current condition of Elisha Carver’s land which was believed to be occupied at the time by James Carver, one of the defendants in the case. In response to questions, Devasher stated he lived about two miles from James Carver, who he thought lived on the land upon which Elisha Carver lived and died. He said there were two or three different surveys, but it was all the same tract, and he thought James Carver had lived on the land for about three years.

Devasher was asked if he knew of James Carver, the defendant, having cut a great deal of salable timber off the land and sold it, and if Devasher had or had not bought timber from James Carver which came off the land. His response was that Carver had cut a right smart amount, such as board timber, rail timber, etc., but didn’t know much about the property lines and didn’t know whether they came off Elisha Carver’s land or not. He didn’t know of any that had been sold, except what he had heard. He said he had bought some rails from him, but didn’t know whether they came off that land or not.

Asked whether James Carver owned any other land in that neighborhood off of which he could have gotten the board and rail timber etc. he had mentioned, Devasher said James Carver didn’t own any other land except his interest in Elisha Carver’s tract of land.

Asked whether he knew if that land had been much injured and was not worth near as much since James Carver first went upon it to live, Devasher responded that he knew the place had gone to rack, and was not in as good repair as when Elisha Carver died.

Asked whether he knew or did not know that the land was not so valuable now for timber as when James Carver went on it, Devasher stated that if all the timber that had been cut was on the land, it would not be so valuable, but he didn’t know if all the timber was from that land. He didn’t know where the property line was.

Asked if he knew or did not know that James Carver had taken down a house and hauled it to the woods and there permitted the logs to rot, Devasher said they hauled a house out, it was said for Tom Williams to live in, but he didn’t know who the head manager was or anything about it. The logs, he reconned, were lying there yet, and he didn’t know anything about them. He had not seen them since.

Asked if he had not recently contracted with James Carver for a parcel of rails which were either on the land or to be made from the land, Devasher said he and Carver had been talking about trading for some rails, which he reconned were on the land, but they had not traded yet.

Another neighbor, Benjamin Littrell, was also deposed on 17 September 1846. He was asked if he knew or did not know of James Carver, one of the defendants in the case, having cut a great deal of valuable timber off of the land on which he was then living and upon which Elisha Carver died. He responded that there had been a right smart cut there, but he didn’t know that he cut it all. He had heard it said that he cut it, but he never saw him at it. He didn’t know that there was a great deal of valuable timber. There was some board timber, and some for plank, and some for hogsheads, cut off.

Asked if he knew or did not know that the place was much less valuable now than when James Carver went upon it, Littrell responded that he would not give as much for it as it was right smartly out of repair.

Asked how much he would say, or if he knew, to what extent the place had been injured, he said he hardly knew but at a rough guess would suppose, taking everything into consideration, that it had been injured something like $100.

Asked if he would please state, if he knew, in what way James Carver had been living on the land. Had he paid rent for it or not? Littrell responded that he couldn’t tell. He understood that Carver was to pay rent the first year, but how they had managed since he didn’t know.

Asked if he had bought timber from James Carver, the defendant, which grew upon the land, or knew of him selling to any other person, Littrell said he had never bought any from him himself, but understood that he had sold some plank and hogshead timber, which was said to have come off the land.

Asked if he knew if Carver, the defendant, had ever paid any rent for the said land, he said no. I don’t know that he ever has.

Note: No legal resolution, judgment or disposition of the suit was found in the court's case documents, although several deeds have been found in the records of Barren County, Kentucky that indicate that some actions to benefit Elisha's minor children were ordered by the Circuit Court, and some other deeds were found regarding various sales of pieces of his property by his heirs.6,7 
(Widow) Land Records11 December 1847 On 11 December 1847, James and Lucy Carver sold land on Peters Creek, Barren County, Kentucky, to John T. Rogers for $200. The land was identified as having been in the possession of Lucy's father, Elisha Carver, at the time of his death, and the deed specified that the interest in the land intended to be sold was both the interest that had descended to Lucy from her father, as well as the interest sold to James by his brother-in-law, Martin Wood, and his wife, Emily Jane, who was Lucy's sister. The sale also included all of the interest James and Lucy might be entitled to in the Dower land of Louisa Carver, widow of Ellisha Carver and Lucy's stepmother, after Louisa's death. Our transcription of the deed follows:

This indenture dated the 11th day of December 1847 is made and entered into between James Carver and Lucy Carver his wife of Barren County, Kentucky, of the first part and John T. Rogers of said county of the second part. Witnesseth that for and in consideration of $200 in hand paid, the receipt whereof is hereby acknowledged, the parties of the first part have bargained and sold and do by these presents bargain, sell, align and convey unto the said John T. Rogers and his heirs forever, all the right, title and interest that they have in a tract of land composed of three surveys which belonged to and was in the possession of Elisha Carver at the time of his death, and which lies adjoining the lands of John Lewis, Obadiah Britt and Samuel Whitney on Peters Creek in Barren County, Kentucky, together with all its appurtenances, to have and to hold unto the said Rogers and his heirs forever. The interest in said land hereby intended to be conveyed is the interest that descended to the said Lucy from her deceased father Elisha Carver and the interest in said land sold by Martin Wood and his wife Emily Jane, late Emily Jane Carver, to said James Carver and described in the deed from said Wood and wife to said James Carver. Also all the interest that the parties of the first part are or may be entitled in and to the Dower land of Louisa Carver, widow of said Elisha Carver, after the death of said Widow. To have and to hold said interests unto the said Rogers and his heirs forever from all claims whatever and the parties of the first part covenant to forever warrant a good and valid title to the same unto the said Rogers and his heirs forever, free from all claims whatever. In testimony where of the parties of the first part have hereunto set their hands and seals this the day and year above written.

The signatures of both James Carver and Lucy Carver were sealed with their marks, and the deed was recorded in Barren County, Kentucky on 11 December 1847.8 
(Widow) Land Records3 August 1850A deed was prepared on 3 August 1850 in Barren County, Kentucky, which corrected and completed an earlier deed dated 21 June 1845. The earlier deed was made to carry out the Barren County Circuit Court's directive in a suit brought by Complainants Isaac D. Powell and Thomas G. Powell against Defendants Louisa Carver, the widow of Elisha Carver, and his infant children. Ruling for the Complainants, the court had directed that a certain tract of land which had been owned by Elisha Carver, deceased, and was in the possession of the Defendants, be conveyed to the Complainants, Isaac D. Powell and Thomas G. Powell. The names of two of Elisha's children, James L. Carver and Sarah F. Carver, were missing, we believe in error, from the original deed of conveyance and this second deed, which conveyed the same land, was prepared and filed as a correction of the omissions in the first.

We note that Thomas G. Powell, one of the original Complainants, had died in 1846 and his children, James A. Powell, Huldah A. Powell, Samuel R. Powell, Nelson T. Powell, William J. Powell and John V. Powell, replaced their father as Complainants with their uncle, Isaac D. Powell, in the 1850 deed, and that Sarah F. Carver, who had also died, was replaced as a Defendant by her stepmother, Louisa Carver. We also note that the line in brackets, [thence S 60 W 32 poles to a white oak and hickory], which appeared in the original deed, was omitted in the second when the copy was made. Our transcription of the second deed follows:

In a suit of Isaac D. Powell, Complainant, and Louisa Carver and others, Defendants, the Barren Circuit Court at the June Term 1850 made an order appointing William Garnett a Commissioner and directing him to convey on behalf of defendants James and Sarah F. Carver to the Complainant Isaac D. Powell and to the children and heirs at law of Thomas G. Powell, deceased, the land in the suit and 1 shilling mentioned. Said land contains 43 acres and lies in Barren County and is bounded as follows: Beginning at a sycamore and beech on Peters and Snells Creek, thence S 31 W 110 poles to a white oak and hickory [thence S 60 W 32 poles to a white oak and hickory] on Graham’s Original line, thence with the same N 23 W 66 poles to a sugar tree and beech, thence N 60 E 27 poles to two beeches on the ridge, thence N 20 E 57 poles to a gum on Clark’s line, thence with the same S 82 E 76 poles to the beginning.

Now, in consideration of the premises, I William Garnett as Commissioner do hereby convey to Isaac D. Powell and to the children and heirs at law of Thomas G. Powell deceased, to wit: James A. Powell, Huldah A. Powell, Samuel R. Powell, Nelson T. Powell, William J. Powell and John V. Powell on behalf of James and Lousia Carver the land aforesaid to the said Isaac D. Powell and others, their heirs and assigns forever. To have and to hold free from the claim of said James and Louisa Caver, and all persons claiming under them, and agree on the part of the said James and Louisa Carver to warrant and defend the title to said land to said Isaac D. Powell, Defendant, from the claim of all persons to the extent of assets descended to said James and Louisa Carver from their father Elisha, deceased. Given under my hand and seal this 3rd day of August 1850.

The signature of William Garnett, Commissioner, was sealed, and the deed was recorded in Barren County, Kentucky on 2 October 1851.9 
Court Action*27 August 1850Louisa Carver filed a paternity petition with James R. Beam, Justice of the Peace, on 27 August 1850 in Barren County, Kentucky, naming James Carver the father of her male child, Joel Yancy Carver, born on 22 November 1848. Beam, on behalf of the Commonwealth of Kentucky wrote: To the Sheriff or any Constable of Barren County: Whereas Louisa Carver of Barren County, widow woman, hath, upon oath, declared before me, James R. Beam, one of the Commonwealth's Justices of the Peace, for the county aforesaid that on the 22nd day of November 1848 now past, at the house of the said Louisa Carver in the county of Barren, she the said Louisa Carver was delivered of a male bastard child and hath charged James Carver of this county, laborer, of having gotten her with child of the said Bastard child.

You are therefore commanded immediately to apprehend the said James Carver and bring him before me, or some other Justice of the Peace for said county, there and then to be dealt with according to the act of assault, in that case made and provided.

Given under my hand and seal on this 27th day of August 1850, and signed James R. Bean, J.P.10 
Land Records*September 1850The Circuit Court of Barren County, Kentucky, during the court's term in September 1850, in the case of James W. Gorin, Guardian for Elizabeth Carver, Martha Ann Carver, James L. Carver and Mary T. Carver, the minor children of Elisha Carver, deceased, against Louisa Carver, Elisha's widow, and John T. Rogers, defendants, found for the defendants. Gorin was directed by the Court to convey, on behalf of the children, their interest, exclusive of the widow's Dower, in the land in the Bill to John T. Rogers, purchaser under the decree. Our transcription of the directive's resulting conveyance of property follows:

This indenture witnesseth that, whereas the Barren Circuit Court at the September Term 1850 in the case of J. W. Gorin, Guardian for Elizabeth, Martha Ann, James L. and Mary T. Carver, against Louisa Carver and John T. Rogers, made an order directing James W. Gorin to convey the interest of said Elizabeth, Martha Ann, James L. and Mary T. Carver (exclusive of the widow’s Dower) in and to the land in the Bill and decree to John T. Rogers, purchaser under the decree aforesaid, for and on the part of the infant Wards aforesaid. Said land is described in a survey, that was filed in the case, that was made by James Scrivner on the 25th and 26th February 1848 as surveyed when the Dower of said Louisa Carver was assigned to her.

Beginning at two poplars on the south bank of Peters Creek and Corner to Samuel Whitney’s, thence with Whitney’s line S 47 W, S 50 W 40 poles to a sugar tree and beech, thence S 12½ W (south) 27 poles to a beech on a branch, thence S 20½ W (S 18 W) to a large poplar, thence S 6 E 54 poles to two beeches and a poplar on a branch, thence up the branch S 55 W 54 poles to a poplar and beech, thence S 6 E 61 poles to a hickory and two beeches near a road, thence S 58½ E 50 poles to a hickory and two beech stumps in a clearing, thence N 81 E 176 poles to a small white oak, beech and dogwood on Graham’s line, thence N 23½ W 39 poles to a beech and sugar tree, N 53 E 27 poles to two beeches, N 20 E 26 poles to a black gum, N 77 W 48 poles to a small beech, N 31 W 78 poles to a stake above the head of a spring, N 37 W 42 poles to a sugar tree, corner to Obadiah Britt Jr. on the bank of the Creek, thence down the Creek with its meanderings to the beginning, containing 248 acres nearly.

The Dower is bounded as follows: Beginning at two poplars, corner of Samuel Whitney, on the bank of Peters Creek, thence S 57 W, 50 W 40 poles to a sugar tree and beech, S 12½ W (south) 27 poles to a beech on a branch, Whitney’s corner, thence S 48 ½ E 134 poles to a poplar, beech and ash on the hill side, S 60 E 84 poles to two beeches on a ridge and corner to the whole tract, N 20 E 56 poles to a black gum, N 77 W 44 poles to a small beech, N 31 W 78 poles to a beech (down) at the head of a spring, N 32 W 42 poles to a sugar tree, Britt’s corner, on the Creek, thence with the Creek to the beginning, containing 76 acres.

Now, in consideration of the premises, I James W. Gorin, Commissioner, do hereby on the part of said infants, convey their interests in the above-described land (exclusive of the widow’s Dower) to John T. Rogers and agree, on the part of said infants, forever to warrant and defend the title in the interest aforesaid to said bounds to said John T. Rogers his heirs and assigns forever against the claim or claims of all persons claiming under them, but this warrant is only to extend to the assets descended to said infants from their father.

The order was given under the hand and seal of James W. Gorin as Commissioner on the 9th day of October 1851, and was recorded in Barren County, Kentucky on 24 March 1852.11 
(Widow) Will15 October 1872Her daughter's father-in-law, Obadiah Britt Sr., prepared his will dated 15 October 1872 in Barren County, Kentucky. He named his only surviving son, Nelson Britt, his three surviving daughters, Sally Britt, Elizabeth (Britt) Houchens and Jane (Britt) Bewley, a grandson, John W. Woodcock, who was the son of his deceased daughter Ann Eliza (Britt) Woodcock, and a granddaughter, Artelia Britt, a daughter of his deceased son John Britt. Obadiah also mentioned his wife, Jane L. (Powell) Britt, although he did not name her, and mentioned Louisa (Harrison) Carver, the widowed mother of his daughter-in-law, Mary T. (Carver) Britt, wife of his son Nelson. He also named two neighbors with land adjacent to his, James H. Houchens, who was his grandnephew, and John Devasher. Signing as witnesses were John T. Rogers and Obadiah's brother, John W. Britt. Regarding his land, Obadiah made several mentions of a "creek", and we note that he was referring to Peter's Creek in Barren County, Kentucky.

His will gave the interest he owned in Louisa's dower land to his son, her daughter's husband, Nelson Britt.12,13,14,15

Census US 1900*9 June 1900Lucinda and Frank Hart were enumerated on the 1900 census taken on 9 June 1900 in Island Grove, Sangamon County, Illinois.6 
Marriage*10 January 1917He married second, as her fourth husband, Nancy Ann Carperna Britt, daughter of Benjamin Britt and Ursula A. Britt, on 10 January 1917 in Muskogee County, Oklahoma.1,3 
Census US 1920*28 January 1920Nancy and Frank Hart were enumerated on the 1920 census taken on 28 January 1920 in Moore, Muskogee County, Oklahoma. Frank was 59 years of age and a teamster in the oilfield industry, and Nancy was 45 years of age. They rented their house, and both were able to read and write. Four children were enumerated with them in 1920, and all were recorded with the surname Hart. We know, however, that Archie and Ivy, ages 13 and 9 years, respectively, were Nancy's children from her previous marriage with Joseph Mason. Archie was able to read and write and neither of the Mason children had attended school within the census year. We suspect that Frankie Hart, age 6, was the mysterious Frankie Hill, and believe that Woodrow Hart, who was about 3 years old, was the son of Frank and Nancy.7
