This picture of John and Frances A. I found in the Salt Lake Newspaper reporting about their fiftieth wedding anniversary. ( I did a happy dance) John was seventy eight years old and Frances A. was seventy two when this picture was taken. I hope to find more pictures of this family to compare with my pictures (I gratefully have) to see similarities between these double cousins.
Mary gave birth to thirteen children and eleven reached adulthood.
Frances A. gave birth to eleven children and eight lived to adulthood. The family group sheet I found for John and Frances in 2010 listed nine children. In my research of this family I found two more children not listed. Found were Samuel, the first child and Elizabeth the last child. Several of the children's names in both families were very similar: As listed below.
