Hello,
I'm curious if anyone knows the "story" about what happened with Alfred Saxey (1840-1913) and his first wife Jane (Jennie) Powers? I have that they had 3 children together: John Walter, Edward Alfred and William P. ("P."probably for "Powers"). John Walter was raised by the father, Edward Alfred died as an infant, and William P. was raised by the mother and her 2nd husband James Logan and took the name of Logan.
I suspect it has to do with Alfred's conversion. The Powers family split from Troy, KS to settle in NE by 1870.
