Notes for America (Spouse 1)
1821, June 28th - born in Kentucky
1850-1860 - William Wells and America Byland married sometime during this period -most probably in Missouri, since William’s family had been living there long before these dates.
1891, August 28th - She has a grave stone in Knob Noster, Missouri, which has her birth date carved on it, but not her death date. After the death of her husband she married second to Silas Arbigast [spelled Arbogast in the records]. This information came from the Knob Noster Cemetery, Johnson County, Missouri.
