I have been working on connecting a distant formerly unknown relative, Harvey Alexander Adams, and sorting out three Caroline Adamses. He and his father, both named Harvey had been combined, and the wives were and remain a bit mysterious, but I got Harvey Jr's wives identified. He married one woman named Caroline in 1851. She died just about 9 months later, (cf. tragedy, a few weeks ago), having given birth to a little girl named Caroline. Just over a year later, Harvey Jr. remarried a different girl named Caroline, who was evidently a widow or divorced, but just about the same age as the first Caroline. Number 2 wife lived more than 60 years.
I wonder if baby Caroline knew which Caroline was her mother. They sometimes didn't bother children with things like facts, and real parentage. Things we find important.
