Notes for Emily Jane (Spouse 2)
She was listed as Jane on the 1860 census with her father.950
It is very possible that she died in childbirth around the time that Emmily E. was born.

Notes for Martha “Mattie” (Spouse 3)
Martha’s family name came from her son’s death certificate in Missouri. But I’m not really sure where the Mary comes from. There are no census entries for a Mary Raines. However, Willis had a cousin who was a Raines named Mary.
