Brian, I've started a page to collect all the various records for both couples to help "timeline" their lives. This will definitely help *me.* Please feel free to make additions.

I've created profiles for the younger Seneca Ladd and Mary Varnum and added links here. Looks like they moved west and both died in California in the 1910's. Sources are on their profiles if you want to add to the timeline.

Thanks, Brian. I've got Mary Varnum the elder updated pretty well. Even found her will. Her husband has a probate file, Unfortunately, no will and his estate was insolvent. Poor Mary.

The index card is here:

I'm sure you'll see it, but I created Charles Varnum as the father of the younger Mary S. Varnum. His father is probably John, but there are a lot of John's floating around.
