--1819 Jul 4--Marriage to Delia BAYNE/Bain [Annie Sickles Winton's Kingsley Family Record,n.d. written prior to 1942, a family manuscript of which I have photocopy. "Delia was born in West Scipio, NY 18 Jan 1804. They celebrated their Golden Wedding in 1869. All their children except Delia, who lived in Cali[fornia] were present. Uncle Calvin came from his home in Idaho. I was one of the grandchildren present and remember his talk to us and particularly his allusion to our Dutch ancestry through Grandmother. I have no record of Delia Bayne except that her mother's name was Mehitable Slote [Sloat]. She married the second time a man named Davis."
