Notes for Martha Olney
Are Martha and Melissa one and the same?
I believe that this is the Martha Melissa 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 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.
