All Inclusive

Wives can be forever lost in history.  This is not the case for my first cousin 5 removed, William H. Woodburn. William’s headstone lists both his wives names along with his name.

Williams first wife was Martha Frances Chandler.  This union had four children.  Martha may have died in childbirth or shortly thereafter.  She died in 1864. Her last child, William Thomas Woodburn was born in 1864.

On October 14, 1868, William married America E. Baker, widow of Joseph Coffman.  America had two children with Joseph Coffman. William and America had three daughters.  Both William and American died in 1874.
