    Notes:

    Belinda was accused and convicted of murdering her husband in July 1878. She and her accomplice, Frank Dickerson, were both sentenced to life in prison in December 1878. In 1880 she was in the Janesville Jail and her children were living with their Uncle Ambrose Gates in Turtle, WI. There is a newspaper article in Sep 1881 that states she was going have a re-trail in the Circuit Court in Jefferson County (I don't have all the newspapers for this era, so I don't know what became of this, but apparently, she was acquitted as she is marrying a key witness in 1884).
