A daughter was born in November of 1888 and adopted by David & Minnie (Wolfe) Howell in Minneapolis‚ MN. DNA indicates the mother is likely a member of the Reymond family of Barnum‚ Carolton Co.‚ MN French Canadians who came to MN from Quebec via VT and NY. This was a large family and many went on to Oregon. I have not been able to identify a likely member of the family who could be the mother‚ so one of the sons might be the father. Census records are clear that the girl’s mother was French Canadian. Upon adoption she was given the name "Pearl." She may also have had a brother per DNA or half brother who also was adopted by a family that went to California.
