      2. Censuses:
      1880 US: 8th Ward, Salt Lake City, Salt Lake, Utah, NA T9-1337, FHL 1255337, p. 33B:
      James E. Mathews, marr., 46, CA Wales Wales, mining engineer.
      Mary E., wife, 25, UT Sco Wales.
      William H., son, 7, UT CA UT.

      Maud, dau., 2, UT CA UT.
      James, son, 1, UT CA UT.

      3. Curiously Sarah Jane Hales is listed in sister Harriet E.H. Nelson's obituaries of 27 Jun 1945 as living in Twin Falls, Idaho as Mrs. Jane Scouton/Scranton [not Wearing]. See her notes for more obituaries before and after that date as Waring/Wearing. Was this a slip of the pen concerning the earlier marriage to Shenton?

      MARRIAGE:
      1. [Step] siblings Minnie and William H. [Stenton] Matthews marry siblings Richard Smith and Sarah Jane Hales.

      2. Per Ancestral File.
