Mary Ann Smith Fellow's family

Question

Hey, everyone. I'm researching a Smith! This is probably a BAD idea. But, unfortunately it has to be done. I am stuck trying to figure out Mary Ann Smith-Fellow's parents and their parents. Mass documents indicate that her parents were a John Smith and a lady named Abigail. Places on the Internet say her last name was Collamer. I can't seem to find any confirmation of that.

Just want absolute proof and dates of these two before I go ahead and make their profiles. Any help would be appreciated. All the info is on the profile.

And Family search gives these dates for Abigail: b May 14th, 1789. d. 9/25/1875

For Johnny, there isn't much. Just "John Smith". Might as well be Mister Nee Dell Inahaystack. =)

These are the only Abigail's marrying John Smiths whose birthdates allow them to have Mary. The other Abigail's marrying John Smiths were both too early

I don't. FamilySearch and I have trust issues, remember?

---

And Bailey seems to make the most sense since they were married in Andover. The family did live there for a while, it seems.

These may be the parents of John Smith

If you can access ancestry, you may be able to locate a will

Hmm. Not sure if this is indeed her. Looking at records.

I can't. I only have a basic account there.

Most libraries have ancestry and when you find a document up in the right corner you'll see a green save button. Click it and you'll see an option to email the image to yourself

Good to know. =D Thanks!

This book doesn't seem to have William Fellows in it, though.

 

Never mind. I found him. Problem is that it doesn't show her parents.

Answer 1

It appears that Mary Ann (Smith) Fellows was born in Andover Massachusetts. Her mother was Abigail Bailey according to her sister Deborah's death record. I am working on cleaning up the tree on familysearch.

I thought i heard a chainsaw. =) Thanks, Lin! I will check it out after breakfast. I was unsure if it was Bailey or some of the other last names Eddie tossed my way.

Really appreciate this!

One of her siblings is Sarah Jane Smith? That got a chuckle out of me. Fan of Doctor Who. =)

Yes, I am a nerd. What? LOL Thanks!

I found Bailey's father: https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Bailey-16955

I can't find info on her mom. Sources say her name was Molly and other sources say the last name was Standley. Can't confirm at the moment.

Never mind. That's not the father. I'm not sure who is. Records say the names of her parents were Daniel Bailey and Molly. Not much else.
