JAMES CHAUDOIN and MARY RANKIN. She was born Abt. 1821.
Notes for ALEXANDER "ALEX" M. KELLY:
R. S. Sanders' research seems to indicate that Alexander had been married
previously to marrying Martha Chaudoin. He indicated that there was a child
named James KELLY, who may have been the child of a former wife.
Notes for MARTHA D. CHAUDOIN:
MARTHA D. CHAUDOIN, dau/o James C. CHAUDOIN and unproven wife (given as Anne
RANKIN by some), was born abt. 1821. Martha's mother is said to have died
before her husband, James, who died in 1837. When James died he left a young
family, namely, Calvin Morgan (18 yrs. ), Martha D. (16 yrs.), Emily Jane
(13 yrs.), Mary E (11 yrs.), David Franklin (9 yrs.), Sarepta, (6 yrs), and
Louisa. Four of them were under twelve years of age. James CHAUDOIN's
brother, David CHAUDOIN, Jr. and Benjamin F. BRIDGEMAN were assigned to be
administrators of James' estate and guardians of his children (1837). Then
in 1842, Alex M. KELLY, the husband of Martha D. CHAUDOIN was given bond as
guardian for them with Claiborn GOTT, James RANKIN & Raphael SHELTON as
