Notes:
                   Frank West Haven Jennings took his daughter with him to North Maine; he was an accountant there.  Frank was separated from his wife but may not have received an official divorce.  Information from Andrea Simpson on 11/2/2008.

In the 1900 United States Census, at age 77, Frank [the name he is called by] is living in Chelsea Ward 5, Suffolk, Massachusetts, USA, he is listed as "Widowed". At this time he was living with his Daughter (Florence A. Osborne) and son-in-law (Frank Osborne), and a grand son, (Ralph L. Osborne).

However, Helen M. Sanborn was then living and the records show she died in 1910 (Rhode Island Dealths, 1630-1930).  This discrepancy could be the result of the rumored (by my living mother, Andrea Munafo) that he left his wife and family.  Could it be possible that he just believed she was deceased at that time or did not care to know?  Was there a divorce, or just a split? Or, do we have the correct person. Note that the records show Helen being almost 19 years younger than Frank.
