Enos McNall actually had a 3rd wife, Mrs. Olive Pumroy.They were married 25 Sep 1857 in Rock Island County, IL.His second wife contested the third wife's filing for Enos' civil war widow's pension.Olive Pumroy McNall married again to Ely Dougherty 25 Jan 1864 in Muscatine, Iowa.Thirza evidently couldn't provide documentation to prove her marriage, even though 2 people who witnessed the ceremony wrote letters of testimony.Enos had abandoned Thirza in Massachusetts and she was unaware that he had remarried.The names of his brothers-in-law were James Draper, John Harriman and Benedict Barber.
