I am looking for information on the family (mostly the ancestors) of Alvah Brush MAINES. He was born in 1846 in New Jersey, and died on 20 March 1936 in Morris Co., New Jersey. At some point (probably the late 1860's or early 1870's) he married Margaret Lavinia LEE, the daughter of an unknown LEE and Dorcus WHITE.
Alvah was the father of 12 known children, all born in New Jersey or Pennsylvania:
1 Flora (26 Apr 1871- 12 Mar 1876)
2&3 George (19 Jun 1872- 28 Jun 1872) John (19 Jun 1872- 27 May 1874) (TWINS)
4 Nellie (16 Dec 1875- 16 Nov 1905) Married a Smith
5 Frederick C. (14 Aug 1877- AFTER 1925) Married 1) Unknown 2) Rosa Nussbaumer
6 Mabel (18 Jul 1879- UNKNOWN) Married Edwin Smith
7 Evabelle (8 Feb 1881- 1 Aug 1956) Married Montique Smith
8 Walter (17 Sep 1882-UNKNOWN) Married and had children; Lived in North Dakota
9 Arthur (3 Dec 1883- 5 Sep 1884)
10 Lillian (24 Apr 1887-UNKNOWN) Married Charles Hicks
11 Edith (26 Jun 1888- 1 Apr 1960) Married John Gorski, had at least two children
12 Vandalia (4 Jul 1890- 31 Dec 1974) Married Robert Maher Watt; had 9 children
I am descended from his youngest child, Vandalia. He also had some siblings: Mary, Annie, Elizabeth, Henry, John, George, and Elias. Any information on his children, siblings, or ancestors is greatly appriciated.
