NOTE: Records (both the 1870 and 1880 census) indicate that Jeannette's birth year is likely 1860, not the 1867 that appears on her official death documents. It seems she lost a few years along the way. This seems to be supported by the fact that William Wessells (believed to be her father) died December of 1863.
