Calvin Barnum was married to Eveline Jennings (1842 - 1928), daughter of Joseph & Charlotte (Husted) Jennings. After being contacted by Sharon, a closer look was in order for my Barnum/Jennings file. It was time to resolve the question of whether or not Charlotte (Husted) Jennings had married John Warner. The question was implied when a Frank Jennings was found living in the household of John and Charlotte Warner in 1880. Who was Frank Jennings and what was his relationship, if any, to the Warners?

There was a marriage between John Warner and Charlotte Jennings on 29 August 1879 in Saginaw Co., Michigan; was the bride Charlotte (Husted) Jennings?
My notes reflected that Joseph & Charlotte Jennings and their children Evaline (who married Calvin Barnum), Margary, age 11, and Susan, age 3, were living in Atlas Twp., Genesee County, Michigan in 1860:
Jennings, Joseph, 52, b. NY
" , Charlotte, 42, b. NY
" , Evaline, 18, b. MI
" , Margary, 11, b. MI
" , Susan, 3, b. MI
In 1870 Joseph & Charlotte Jennings were still in Atlas Township and were joined by their daughter Mary (Margary), her husband, George Thorett, and their son, Franklin. The Jennings' son Eli, was living next door with his family:

Franklin Thorett, age 3, was the right age to be Frank Jennings in the 1880 census living with Charlotte; but his surname was Thorett, not Jennings. However, when Frank J. Jennings married Mrs. Electa (Bassett) Bennett, his parents were listed as Geo. Thorett and Margery Jennings.
