Attached is pictures of William A. Heath's sister Elizabeth Jane Heath who married Oscar Crandall. She lived from 1847-1897. She went by the name of Jane during her life. For awhile my family would get confused with the two Jane Heaths.
Tonie has many more pictures of the Heath family that she will be emailing me in the next few weeks.
An interesting note: Oscar Crandall married Maria Gardner White in 1900 after the death of his 1st wife Jane. Maria was the maternal grandmother of Emaline Amidon Heath. Oscar Crandall is what links George & Emaline's family together and probably a factor in getting them together.
Also Oscar Crandall's father Allington Alfonso Crandall was a Civil War Hero who was captured and sent to Andersonville then successfully escaped with two other union soldiers from Andersonville. This might be the Andersonville connection. Both Oscar Crandall and George Heath recounted this tale several times to family and friends so it would be plausible that the Seeley's have heard this story many years back and might now get it confused with William Heath's civil war record.

i. William A. Heath, b. 19 Nov 1843, Ulysses, Potter County, Pennsylvania, d. 25 Oct 1903, Ulysses, Potter County, Pennsylvania.
