Emma J. Mulford

  General Notes:

"I also understand that Dewitt sent Emma {Emily's daughter) out to California because she was becoming involved with one of the Brent boys, and he said that there were enough Brent's in the family without having another. She took sick while out there and Dewitt went out to California, but I don't know if he brought her back, or if she died out there, I haven't been able to find that out yet. So most of my interest would to be to find out if there is any descendants of Emily and William Mulford who were Emily's children by Perry Mulford ." ¹

  Noted events in her life were:

• Census, 1870, Havana, Mason, Illinois. ^{2 3}
D. C. Brown, 48, farmer, real estate $17000, property $2000, born in New York. Ann Brown, 51, born in England. John Brown, 15, born in Illinois. Charles Brown, 14, born in Illinois. Josephine Brown, 12, born in Illinois. Emma J. Brown, 12, born in Illinois. William Brown, 9, born in Illinois. Lydia Brown, 65, born in New York.

"The only thing I have is that my gr gr Aunt Emily Brown married Daniel Perry Mulford and they had two children, and that in 1862 when property was sold, her two children were heirs of her and that she was deceased. It could be (I am assuming) that maybe she died during childbirth of her son William who was born in 1861. Her two children are listed in the household of her brother Dewitt Brown in the 1870 Census (Mason Co., IL), but they were not listed as Mulford, only their first names, and then I found out later, from what, I don't remember, that these were Emily's children."
