Fred Flanders, Placerville abt. 1870

My GreatGrandfather, William A Flanders married Lucinda A Barton in 1875. William was married to her sister, Malinda Gates in 1860 and they had 3 children, one a boy, William Amos, whose sons were William H and Walter A Flanders.
(William H is my father) William A came across the Plains from Quebec in 1850 to California. He owned a farm of some 360 Acres in Yolo County. He & Lucinda married after Malinda died, then he died in 1878. Yes, the farm was left to Lucinda, but alas, after probate, very few assets were left. I never had heard about their son Fred Flanders! After the estate was settled, the children stayed with their "Aunt Lucy" and others. Perhaps Lucinda lived in Placerville after she married William Davis?I have records of the estate etc. which I'd be glad to share.
Are you related to these Flanders?
