Franklin H Isham and Mary H Smith
Franklin H Isham
The records give his name only as Franklin H Isham; the Find a Grave memorial of his daughter gives it as Franklin Hull Isham, 1811-1876, and names her mother as Mary Harriet Smith. Needs independent verification: a record of his own giving his full name.[1]

George A. Ellinwood — m. in Burlington, Chittenden, Vt., 06 June 1895[6]
George b. in Thorndike, Waldo, Maine, 18 August 1871[7]; d. in Gray, Cumberland, Maine, 03 April 1930[9]; bur. in Gray Village Cemetery, Gray, Cumberland, Maine, [10]; m. (1) in Gray, Maine, 24 December 1898[12] to Josephine Morrell, the son of George A. and Josephine (Morrell) Ellinwood.
Her middle name Maud comes from the Find a Grave memorial that names her Helen Maud Isham Ellinwood; the marriage records read Helen M and Hellen M. The 1895 Vermont marriage record gives her age as 24 and her birthplace as Williston, and the Maine death record of 1898 gives her age as 27. The memorial calculates a birth on 27 April 1870 from an age of 27 years 9 months 12 days on the Gray death record, which would make her 25 at the marriage; the birth is therefore entered as about 1870. Needs independent verification: her birth record.[13]
