Sources of Madness:
1. Who are Daniel Fenn's parents?
2. Why can't I find the death record for Daniel C. Fenn?
3. Is Daniel C. Fenn buried in Vermont Cemetery, Chelsea, Washtenaw, Michigan?


There is quite a bit of information on Huldah Rowley's family, but very little on Daniel Fenn's.


What do you think, any suggestions for further research sources?
