Suggested by Anna Decker Dushole: "It appears from records that Caroline is not the biological mother of Ellen. Some facts: Catherine Yeager Crisswell's death cert gives her death date as 10 June 1867, after the birth of daughter Ellen (stated as 5th April 1867 on Ellen's death cert. which names Caroline as mom) The 1870 census of Aug. 12 names the first six children, with Ellen the youngest, at age 3, before next child, Armina at age 5/12 - Caroline's (age 22). And the 1900 census gives Caroline as married for 32 years (1868). Also per 1910 census, Caroline is in her first marriage (43 yrs) and Philip in his second (43yrs)"
