10. *ELLENOR⁶ KITTLE (*FRANCIS⁵, *EDWARD⁴ KETTELL, *EDWARD³, *EPHRAIM² KITTLE, *EDWARD¹ KETTELL) was born 1832 in Mass.. She met (1) *ANDREW DODGE. He was born May 02, 1849 in Nassau, New York. She married (2) WILLIAM LEVI CULVER, son of LEVI CULVER and BETSY CHAPMAN. He was born 1834. She married (3) SAMUEL JENKS (Source: Rensselaer County Cemetery Records.) Abt. 1849 in Stephentown, New York (Source: Calulated from birth year of first child.). He was born 1821 (Source: Calulated from death record in Rensselaer County Cemetery Records.), and died April 12, 1863 in Stephentown, New York.

Notes for *ELLENOR KITTLE:
In the 1865 census of Stephentown, Ellenor said that she had had 6 children.

Notes for WILLIAM LEVI CULVER:
Levi was living in his brother, James' household in 1875. In that census he was called William.
William borrowed $200 from David Kittle, and used his faarm as collateral for the loan, on April 2, 1889. At that time William was married and had a wife, Mary M.William was living in his brother, James, household in 1875.

Newspaper articles, elsewhere in this work, tell of William killing Stephen Jenks. Eleanor Kittle was first married to Jenks and later to William; then she went back to Jenks and then William killed him out of design or jealousy.

More About WILLIAM LEVI CULVER:
Name 2: William Levi Culver (Source: Ronald Gerard Culver, "Ronald Gerard Culver Genealogy," not published.)
Date born 2: 1834, Stephentown, New York

Notes for SAMUEL JENKS:
Samuel was murdered on April 12, 1863 by William L. Culver, second husband of Ellenor Kittle. She was implicated in the murder, detailed elsewhere in this work.

Newspaper articles recounting his murder, state that his name was Stephen. However, in the Rensselaer County Cemetery Records, his name appears as Samuel, having died on April 12, 1863, age 41y5m, married to Eleanor Jenks, and parents of one child who appears in the cemetery records, Rachel A., who died in 1859 at the age of 5y9m2d.

We could presume that his name was Samuel Stephen and went by Stephen, but that we don't know. However, we feel sure that his name was Samuel, despite what the newspaper said. There is no Stephen listed in cemetery records, but Samuel does appear, with the correct death date.

	ii.		MINY DODGE, b. 1871.
	iii.		DANFORD DODGE, b. 1872.

Children of *ELLENOR KITTLE and WILLIAM CULVER are:

iv.

WILLIAM L.⁷ CULVER, b. Abt. 1862.

Notes for WILLIAM L. CULVER:
In 1865, William appears with his mother in the home of Levi Culver and Betsy Chapman Culver (parents of William Levi, husband) at the age of 2 years 9 months.
He does not appear in 1870 census with Ellenor. Not known if he died in the intervening years or if he remained with the Culvers.
Was referred to as "8 month old infant" in Stephen Jenks murder trial articles.

MARY E. CULVER, b. 1865.

Notes for MARY E. CULVER:
While William, Ellenor's second husband, was in jail in Troy, NY, there were riots in Troy, NY regarding drafting to serve in the civil War. During one of the riots, William was released from jail by some of the rioters, in July, 1863. It is presumed that he went home and while home Mary E. was conceived. (per Ronald Gerard Culver).

Author offers another theory:

If Mary were conceived in July of 1863, she would have been born about April, 1864. On the 1865 census, Ellenor listed her as being 4 months old, therefore she couldn't be William Culver's child, as no other release was reported and at the end of the trial, William was sentenced to 6 years at Clinton (NY) Prison, where he was when his father's will was processed on August 19, 1868.

She could be Andrew Dodge's child, and for the purpose of this work, we will assume that she is, as she was listed as 5 years old on the 1870 census, and William Culver was in prison when she was conceived in 1865.
