Marian Barbara Adams was born 20 SEP 1857, in Minnesota. Her younger years were spent on her father's farm in Kasota, with her two brothers (Charles Francis & John Quincy) and two sisters (Anna Jane & Frances). The Civil War began when Marian was a child of just 4 years old, and ended when she was 8. Locally, the Dakota War of 1862 would have probably been a greater threat to the family than the Civil War, as between 400-800 civilians in the area were killed by eastern bands of Sioux and Dakota Indians. A large battle was fought at New Ulm, Minnesota, about 30 miles west of Kasota. By the end of 1812, 303 Sioux prisoners were senteced to death, though President Lincoln ultimately commuted the sentence of 264 prisoners and allowed the remainder to be executed. On December 26, 1862, 38 prisoners were hanged in Mankato (15 miles south of Kasota) in the largest mass execution in American history.
In June 1870, at the age of 12, we know that Marian was living at home, having attended school within the previous year, living with both parents and her siblings (John, Annie and Frances) in Kasota, Le Sueur, Minnesota.
In June 1880, Marian was 22 years old, and her family was still living at the farm. She had completed her education and her occupation is shown as "at home". About 4 months after the 1880 US Census, Marian married George Everett. At the age of 23, she had her first child, Meredith Everett. Family records make little mention of George Everett and many even came to think of Meredith as the child of William Jardine, Marian's last husband (of more than 60 years).
Little is known of Marian's first marriage. However, records now show that "Mary Ann adams" (almost certaintly a spelling variation of Marian Adams, was married to George Everett on 11 OCT 1880. Meredith preceded her mother in death, and it was here in Meredith's death certificate that George Everett is identified as her father. Additionally, the 1900 US Census indicates Meredith's surname to be "Everett". We do know that Marian later married Horace Odell, and had two children with that union (one having died < 1 yr). Marian's recognized marriage to Horace Odell was 06 MAY 1883, almost two years after the birth of Meredith..
Very little is known of George Everett. At the time of Meredith's death, the birthplace for George Everett is "Unknown". In fact, Meredith's obituary refers to Mrs. and Mr. Wm Jardine as her parents (incorrectly). The 1885 Minnesota Census does not shed any light unto George Everett, as Meredith is reflected as being a child of Marian, and her husband Horace Odell. The 1900 US Census adds one previously unknown fact, which was that the birthplace of Meredith's father was Massachusetts. It is likely this piece of information is accurate, as Meredith is (correctly) identified as a step-daughter of William Jardine. Additionally, none of the other children (or step-children) of William Jardine were identified as having a father with a birthplace of Massachusetts. Marian may have been the informant for the information, which is likely the only individual that would have known the birthplace of Meredith's father.
Browsing the US Census information for identification of George Everett proved largely unsuccessful, at least for within the county of Le Sueur. Later, a search of the 1880 US Census of St. Peter, Nicollet, Minnesota, found a "Geo B. Everett" employed at the Minnesota Hospital for the Insane. His occupation is shown as "Engineer", age 34. His birthplace, as well as that of his mother and father, were given as Massachusetts. Though the census information spans two townships and counties, the physical location between St. Peter and Kasota is slightly over 3 miles. Given the proximity, and birthplace of the Geo B. Everett, the current working assumption is that this George Everett is Meredith's father. George Everett was 11 years older than Marian. The marriage license for George Everett and "Mary Ann" Adams indicated that George Everett was from Nicollet county (which matches to the 1880 Census record for George Everett). Additionally, one of the witnesses of the marriage was Frances Adams, sister of Marian. The marriage, curiously, took place in Mankato, Blue Earth, Minnesota. Though Mankato is about 10 miles south of Kasota, it was not the residence of either Marian or George Everett.
Marian, at age 25, married Horace Odell and relocated to the villiage of Saint James, Watonwan, Minnesota. Saint James is approximately 52 miles southwest of Kasota. At the time of the census, Meredith is listed as their only child, though Marian and Horace would have had one child by this date, Franklin Wane Odell. However, Franklin lived less than one year and died about six months before the census was taken. Marian had a second child with Horace, Muriel Claudine Odell, on 21 OCT 1885. But, this child was not born until four months after the 1885 Minnesota Census.
