Could this be right info? Marriage info says she is from Vernon,
Tolland., CT. Is Betsey Davis who received $500 from estate of William Keeney
her sister?
Evidence below seems to point in this direction.

No wife is listed--no mention of death or divorce. He does not appear in 1850 IL census as child of John L. and Clarissa Haskin, probably born 1851.
!DEATH: Death record city of Chicago Vital Records, and family knowledge. Death Cert. says died Dec. 1 on one line, Dec. 12 on two others! Since burial was on the 14th, Dec. 12 is probably correct. Birth date is unknown to brother William

Massachusetts which is consistent with the info in 1850 Illinois census.

!BIRTH-MARRIAGE-DEATH: Cook Co., IL records, federal census 1880-1920, tombstone, family knowledge. Several different records list birth
years from 1852-56. However, he told granddaughter he was "born on Friday the 13thand it
was the luckiest day of his life." The only August Friday the 13th was in1852 which would also make him 21 if married in 1873. Cannot locate record of marriage in Chicago records (1871-1876). Tradition says March 1873,census of 1910 and 1920 say 1875. His death cert. states his parents were born
in New York (father) and Massachusetts (mother) which agrees with 1850
IL census. His father, John L. Haskin died of a gunshot wound when William Lorenzo
was no more than 6. Strange that no mention was ever made of stepfather, Webster A. Castle who married mother, Clarissa, one year later, or second stepfather, Hiram Mounton whom she married in 1862.
