Jefferson Cartledge married Frances (Fanny) Berry on April 21, 1859 and was also married
to a woman named Catherine who was born about 1812 and died in 1855. FRances would have
been his 2nd wife. I don't know a birth date for her or death date. I do know that my
grandfather, Benjamin William Cartledge was listed as their son. He was born in 1875. He
had two brothers Joe and Ed who were younger than he was. Their parents died when they
were young and they went to an orphanage somewhere around Aiken, SC. If Jefferson is
Ben's Dad, he was 8 when Jefferson died and the other boys were 4 ans 2. Jefferson
would have been 63 when Ben was born. Frances and Jefferson married in 1859 and would have
waited 16 yrs to have a family. It doesn't sound likely. Jefferson could have married
a third time to a younger woman who bore him 3 children. I don't know. If anyone has a
clue, please contact me at Givemelight(a)aol.com Thank you.
