Marriage Notes for John Leland Haskell and Lydia Eliza Ashton
MARRIAGE: Supreme Court of the State of California
Volina E. Harrigan vs. Laura A. Mowry
This case was to force Laura Mowry, trustee to release title to property of Vovina's mother, Eliza Haskell.
In this case she refers to John L. Haskell as step father.In addition to this case it is clear she was born in 1853, most likely, Louisiana.
It is also clear she used Haskell as a last name, so it is likely she was adopted by John L. Haskell.As a result of this, it is likely that John Haskell and Lydia Eliza Ashton were married after 1853.
The biography of John Leland in Haskell Journal, issue 2, states that John Married 2nd, Mrs. Virginia B. Monohan.
According to the 1880 San Francisco census, Jennie Warren is living at the same address as John Leland Haskell with her two children, William Warren age 8 and Blanche Warren age 6. Her children, It is assumed that Jennie Warren and Virginia B. Monahan are the same person.
The 1900 census has William A. Monahan, living with John L. Leland, It also shows his step grandson Blanchard living with him.
The California death index, for Blanchard Leland Haskell, gives his mother's maiden name as Monahan, which indicates that Blanche, his mother was in fact Blanche Monahan.
As to the 1880 census having Jennie and children listed as Warren, speculation would be that this was maiden name of Virginia, or poor census taking.
