Family Notes:
1870 Census (Ancestry.com page 16 of 20) in which Prime’s parents Louis and Louisa, age 70, living with Ann Cravens, age 19, born 1851, may be their daughter. This has not been confirmed. Based on her age, she could be Louis’s cousin, or his daughter with a woman outside of his marriage to Louisa. Allison was born abt 1832. Allison and Ann’s age difference is 19 years, so Ann could have been Allison’s daughter.
