Martha Jane Cannary (Calamity Jane). James Butler Hickok was NOT married to Calamity Jane. He married his wife Agnes Lake in 1876.
Wild Bill Hickock was certainly a pardner! they are buried in the same cemetery.
calamity Jane is mostly famous for being friends with the famous wild bill she was also famous for being quick witted handy with all guns and wearing clothes, cussing and doing jobs like a man does.
It is possible that her daughter was named Janey or Maude. Calamity Jane apparently abandoned the little girl. There doesn't seem to be very much information at all about her. One story is that she was put in a convent as a child and basically disappeared. Calamity became orphaned at an early age and apparently didn't have the mothering skills to handle a child.
Her name was Jane Martha Burke, or Martha Jane Burke. Martha ( like Washington( sounded a bit too conservative)- so Calamity Jane it became- and she brewed up a storm on the Wild West!

my family claims to be descendants of wild bill. My uncle does the geneology for our family so he says he can prove it I ve never seen it so who knows. My in laws say they are related to claminty Jane so if this is all true my daughter is related to both no wonder she is a handful.
