General Notes: Husband - William Henry MELLEN
==========================================================================================
gina,
william henry mellen was the son of grenville mellen, who was in turn a son of william
pepperrell mellen, who came south from dover, nh as don correctly states. grenville, born
mar 6 1843, married very young (he was very tall for his age), had two children,
volunteered in the confederate army, and was killed at the battle of seven pines in 1862.
grenville had two sons, so william henry had a brother named grenville. i believe this
brother grenville is the grenville who lived on the mississippi gulf coast. [Martin
Wehling]

A hôtel-Dieu ("hostel of God") was a name given to French hospitals for the poor and needy, run
by the Catholic Church. [WikiPedia] This one is now called University Hospital.
