  • Her name is listed as "Claudine F. Barker" in the 1860 Utah census.

    The inscription on her gravestone shows her name as "Frances C. Barker."

    Family tradition says that Frances may have left her new husband, William Chatwin on her wedding day and come to Utah with her Adams family, or she may have come alone with another company.  Frances and William were married in Pottawattamie, Iowa on 3 April 1852.  Further research is needed to determine which account is correct.
