Orison E Snow and Mary Jane Slocum

Random Notes on this family:

Orison E. Snow married Mary J. Slocum in 1842. They had a daughter named Frances M. Snow born about 1845. Frances was in the 1860 Census with her parents but not in the 1870 Census. However, in the 1880 Census, Frances Soule and William Soule are living next door to Orison and Mary Jane Snow. Their children are listed as Charles (8), Mary (6), and Francis (4)

In the 1880 Census, William Soule and Frances have the following children: Charles B Soule  (18); Frances M. Soule (14); Arthur D. Soule (7); Eddie A. Soule (6) and Agnes E Soule (2 months).

Also in the 1880 Census we have the following:
Orison Snow and Jane M. Snow living one page previous to William and Frances Soule. Also listed in their household are Franklin B. Deming (24) as grandson,  Jennie M. Deming (16) as wife, and Minnie E. Deming, (2/12) as daughter.

The age for Jennie M. is the same age as Mary Jane Snow. The name could have been Janie not Jennie. If Jennie was 16 in 1880, she was born about 1864. That means her mother (Frances M. Snow) would have been about 19 years old when her daughter was born.

Frances M. Snow married Henry William Soule. They probably married before 1870 since Frances was no longer living in her parents household. I found marriage records of two of their children. The marriage records identify both of the parents.The children are:
* William Henry Soule, b. 1881; married Cora Myra Eaton in 1906.
* Edward A. Soule, b. 1874; married in 1909 Francelia Story, b. 1874.


There is a marriage record for Clarence Edwin Deming (b 1882). In 1915 her married Lilian Eva Smith. His parents are listed as Frank B. Deming and Mary J. Soule. Based on other records, I'm assuming that Frank B. Deming was born in 1856. Mary J. Soule could be the same person as Jennie M. Deming found in the 1880 Census.

In the 1900 Census, Mary Snow is living with Frank B. Deming and Jennie M. Deming. They have a daughter Minnie (20) and a son Clarence E (18). Mary Snow is listed as the mother. This could have been a mistake and she is really the grandmother. This census also says that Mary Snow gave birth to one child and one is still living.

Who, then are Willie V. Snow and Allen Snow who were listed in the 1870 Census?
