I am writing the portion of the Bingham biography that discusses his marriage (he was married just once–from 1844 until his wife’s death in 1891). They had seven children, only two of whom lived to be adults. This rate of child mortality was tragic but not uncommon in the nineteenth century, even among the wealthy.
The good ol’ days they were not.
