#31: 1st child (Prescinda Celestia) drowned in City Creek May 8,1850-age 16 mos.
ReplyDelete#32: 1 child w/ Walton.
could the case of the 1st child of #31 have been infanticide by the mother? Possible motive: so the daughter would not grow up to be snared in the trap of a polygamous marriage?
ReplyDeleteMay 8,1850 was a Wednesday.
