1866
Mary Jane Bacon married Amos L Ham in Salisbury, New Hampshire, in 1866 when she was 34 years old. I don't have primary sources for this marriage, yet. But she had young children, and it was pretty important to have a husband as a partner. Wonder how they met? He had also been married before, had a daughter the same age as Marshall.
