Mother*

Hannah Marie Forshee¹ b. c 1818, d. 15 Oct 1867

Cora appears only in the 1870 census with a mother named Bianca. She is not in the household in 1865 or 1875, and by 1875 James is married to Hannah Shavlier. It is likely that this Cora was actually the daughter of the Bianca, who possibly was a second wife of James for a short time. Cora Sydenham was born in 1861 at New York, USA
