Research Notes

Alden appears to have married second 4 jan 1857 to Elzadie M. (Smith) Leslie, daughter of Obadiah and Betsey Smith, in Lowell, Massachusetts. She was born about 1823 in New Hampton. ^[1] Elzadia appears to have married again two years later. Since Alden was still living, does this mean they divorced, or did Elzadia marry a different Alden Clifford?
