Notes:
Frank was living with his sister, Elenor, and her family in 1880.

Nothing is known of Frank's first marriage to Jennie.  They weren't married very long before she died in 1885.  Jennie Quinett is documented as buried in the Johnston Smith Cemetery.  It is believed that this is Jennie, Frank's 1st wife, not Mary Jennie, Charles's sister.
