      1880 RES: IN CENSUS


      3rd husband of Octavia Egnor

      In death record for Eva Belle Saddler, her father is listed as Cal Plumley. This seems to be her step-father. Octavia Egnor was married to a Plumley.

      However, the 1900 census record shows Eva as daughter of James Plumley, and the 1910 census shows her as step daughter of James Sadler, establishing both her natural parent and the order of the two marriages, Plumley followed by Sadler.

      Gould family records give Cal as Calloway Plumley, son of Sylvester Plumley and Mary Ann "Margaret" Egnor...thus my uncle Sylvester's namesake.

    2. [S18771] Carol Setliff.
      Dec 1882, a child, Mary H. was born and appears on the 1900 Lincoln County census with Octavia and James Plumley, but her age is listed as 17, born Dec 1882. The census says that Octavia and James were married 12 years...1888. So Mary H. was born 6 years before Octavia and James married. Mary was the daughter of William Horton and Octavia.
