Update. Since this post we have confirmed that Frank Doty Sexton's mother's name was BETSEY JANE (surname unknown, but preseumed Doty). This information was taken from the probate papers after her death.
She married James L. Wiley sometime between 1851-1858 somewhere in CA. Frank Doty's dob per death cert is 1853 in PA, however other sources put it at 1850. We know that James L. Wiley is present on a 1850 Census (enumerated Oct.) in Placerville, CA with his brother Robert, Betsey was not listed...which would tell us that Betsey made it to CA either on her own or with the unknown Sexton.
If anyone knows anything about who Betsey Jane was, and if she was infact a Doty, it would be much appreciated. Thank you!
