Notes

Anne Homewood married John Hosmer, dec 1859, W.Ashford, 2a, 878 } FreeBMD

Question: Why does Elizabeth Russell (Homewood) state that her sister Anne Homewood visited in 1851?. There is no other record of Anne Homewood, and is not listed on her fathers gravestone. Maybe she fell out with the family, and was erased from their story?
