She married William Daggett, IV. I did not know of her previous marriages or children, thank you.
I do not have any record that they had children together.
His line goes back to John Doggett of Martha's Vineyard.
Where did you find this information? Any hint as to what her maiden name might have been?

I am trying to find Minerva's maiden name. Sure would hate to take the entire Fed census of Ohio on a page at a time.
My husband's grandmother was Laura (Lark) Robinson Cook. It was by fluke that I found her marriage records to Dana A. Robinson in Il. Her first known marriage was to John N. Smith, should be before 1st child-Franklin b. 1856 inOhio
1860 US Federal Census finds her in harrison, Winnebago Co. Il. John N. Smith husb 28 Ohio (1832)
Minerva Smith wife 26 Ohio (1834)
Frank Smith son 4 Ohio (1856)
William J. Smith son 3 Il. (1857)
Hellen Smith dau 1 Il. (1859)
Flora is born in 1862 in Il. Mary is born in 1866 in il.
Somewhere between 1866-1870, John N., William J. and hellen drop out of sight.

1872 Fredrick Robinson son is born in Coffey CoIll. Shortly after Dana and Minerva divorce. She takes Fredrick and her other children by Smith and Dana keeps Lark. Dana had two dau from previous marriage.
Sometime between 1872 and 1880 minerva marries William h. Daggett IV. they are living in Silver Creek, Cowley, Kansas Kansas Roll T9-377 Family history film 1254377
I have no idea when she died, where she died and where she is buried, or if she was still with William. According to family, they think Minerva was a Native American. Story goes that Dana Robinson took dau Lark to Lamar by horse and wagon. Where she meets and Marries Jeremiah Luther Cook in July of 1890. Jeremiah did not want people to know her name was Lark so he changed it to Laura.
