Martha DANFORTH may have possibly in Texas sometime in 1842/43 or Ark., or
the
Indian Territory, away from her husband. She was the wife of a Dr. William
CALDER/COLDER
of Kentucky and was part of the Peters Colony. In Feb. of 1843 Dr. Calder,
while
traveling alone from Cedar Springs(now Dallas), Dallas Co., TX to Ft.
English(Bonham),
Fannin Co., TX was killed by Indians in Colin Co., TX and was buried there.
Looking for more information on where Martha was at this time and when or
where their
only child, a boy, was born. Their child is listed as W.L.C. WYMAN in the
1850 census,
assumption is that the C. stands for CALDER/COLDER. All we have of proof of
this union is a probate record of Dallas county of William CALDER/COLDER
naming Marthas second husband (Elisha S. WYMAN) as the administrator.
William is listed in the Peter's Colony list as a participant and this is
where we learn he is from Kentucky.
Thanks and Welcome Dave,
