I'm repying to my own message but hopefully someone else
has more information. Katie's dad was from Ohio and her
mother, Lena, was from Pennsylvannia. I've been told that
Katie's father died when she was young and her mother remarried to a Masters. After Katie's first husband, Samuel
Thomas Baughn, died, she married a Charles Downing.
Any help on the Dench surname would be greatly appreciated.
