Biography

Mary and William moved from Dutchess County, NY to Kent Litchfield County, then back to Dover, CT. William moved back to Kent after Mary's death. During the 1860 census they were in Kent, CT with children Ida, Sarah, Ada, her mother Maria Lee and Harriet Geer, the school teacher. Both Mary and 4 year old Sarah were attending school.^[1] Perhaps it was actually 6 year old Ida that attended but the 1870 census shows that by age 16, daughter Sarah was teaching, not attending school.^[2]

During 1875 the family lived in Dover, NY with the 3 daughters plus the addition of their 3 sons, Charles, Oliver and John.^[3] They were in Dover during 1880.^[4]

Born about 1834

Died 1916 Kent, Litchfield County, CT. Burial, St Andrews Cemetery, Kent, CT.This date comes from the Hale Collection but by 1900 husband William was living with his son so without better source and no gravestone image this date is in question.^[5][6]
