Research
Some researchers claim Edith’s maiden name was DOAN or DEAN, but no supporting documentation has been found. Thus, the use of that name on Findagrave Memorial # 95414500 is not currently supported by any known documentation.

Edith may have also had a son named William T. COLBURN/COLBORN (1816/17-1900), who died in Royalton, Waupaca County, Wisconsin (Findagrave MEMORIAL# 81912579). His wife may have been Martha LOW, daughter of Thomas LOW. William & Martha were both born in PA, but further documentation needed to link them to Edith.

which appears to link William to Robert & Edith, but need to see original document.
