on H-018. Also H-006, H-019.

MARRIAGE: CH-001 (1900 Census) states married 6 years in 1990.

NOTES: (CH-001) 1900 Fed Census, shows Benjamin, wife Nannie and Stepson Roy,
born Sept 1883, Iowa, as a family.
NOTES: (H-019) obtained from Benjamin's Pension Records that:
1. Benjamin listed his children in 1898 as
STORY b. MAR 22 1868
WILLIAM (Billy) b. JUL 17 1870
BERTHA b. SEP 1873
ROY b. JUN 14 1876
2. Benjamin listed his relationship to Anderson F. Harreld as brother.
PROBLEM: Since these children were born before his marriage, at the age of 50,
to Nancy M. Kuhns (Nelson) (Brunk) (Harreld), it would seem likely
that his first wife, Melissa Bridges would be the mother?
