Question re NJ born daughters of Hosea Husted (1794) & Nancy Downham (1796) - & Benj Long, the man who married sisters.

Question

I am interested in learning more about two of the daughters of Hosea and Nancy Downham Husted: Frances Mason Husted  (b 1816) and Lovinia Husted (b 1824). Frances became the first wife of Benjamin Long (b @1815). After her death, he married her sister, Lovinia.  Benjamin had children with both sisters: Sarah, Charles, Alexander and Benjamin with Frances, then William, John, Robert, Mary, Lewis and Calvin with Lovinia.

The other children of Hosea and Nancy Husted were Charles Woodruff, John William, Hosea, Henry Harrison Electa (m Usinger) and Calvin. I have been more successful in learning about the lives of these folks than the two sisters listed above.

Any information about the Husted sisters and their husband, Benjamin Long, would be most appreciated. Thank you!

Answer 1

Don’t forget to put them in the successive siblings category.

Could you please explain what you mean by that?

If you go to the top of the page, to the little help button, click, and you should see Help Category. I am sure others will be by with more help, but this should start you off

Got it, thank you!

Sorry for the confusion but you can copy that line with the double brackets on each side and paste on your profile. The husband who married sisters will then show up in a category with others who have also done the same. It is supposed to be a fun category just like first cousins getting married or siblings marrying siblings.
