Limited Biography of Henrietta Affleck(1812-1875)(C9)

 Henrietta Affleck(1812-1875)-C9

Birth: April 6th, 1812 in Scotland

Father: John Affleck(1786-1870)(C18)
Mother: Janet Jamison(1779-1846)(C19)

Married: Thomas Connelly(1791-1872)(C8) on June 28th, 1832 in Charlottetown, Prince Edward Island

Children:

• Thomas Connolly(1836-1912)
• James C. Connolly (1837-1891)(C4)
• Mary Margaret Connolly(1838-UNKN)

Death: January 4th, 1875 in Charlottetown, Prince Edward Island

Henrietta Affleck was born on April 6th, 1812 in Scotland.  She was the daughter of John Affleck and Janet Jamison.  John may have been born in Dumfriesshire, Scotland and Janet was Cunningsbugh, Shetland, Scotland so it might be possibly to track Henrietta's birth to one of these areas.  She was the second of six children and the family immigrated to Prince Edward Island in 1820.  

She Married Thomas Connelly on June 28th, 1832 in Charlottetown, Prince Edward Island.  The wedding record shows that both of them were living on St Peters Road, Charlottetown and shows that John and James Affleck were both witnesses.  James was her brother and John was either her father or brother.

The couple may have had a son, Thomas Connolly in Ireland on March 16th, 1836 but I have not been able to find any documentation of him.   Their second son, James C Connolly  was born on December 25th, 1837 in Mount Stewart, Prince Edward Island.  Their last child, Mary Margaret Connolly was born on August 10th, 1838 in Charlottetown, Prince Edward Island.  Henrietta died on January 4th, 1875 in Charlottetown, Prince Edward Island.

If anyone has access to the Scottish Immigration lists listed in sources, we may be able to find out more about where Henrietta and her family came from.

Limited Biography of Thomas Connelly (1791-1871)-C8

 I am not very confident in this information, but have not been able to get anything more concrete.  I need to get better at my Prince Edward Island and Irish genealogical research.  I will be putting a number of flags in the text to highlight the gaps.

Thomas Connelly (1791-1871)-C8

Born: 1791 in Tipperary, Ireland

Marriage: Henrietta Affleck (1812-18750-C9 on June 28th, 1832 in Charlottetown, PEI

• James C. Connolly (1837-1891)

Died: March 21st, 1872 in Charlottetown, PEI

I have the Thomas was born in Tipperary, Ireland in 1791.  I don't have any documentation of the source of this information, so I am reasonably skeptical of it.  At some point after this he immigrated from Ireland to Prince Edward Island.  HE married Henrietta Affleck on une 28th, 1832 in Charlottetown, PEI.  They had a number of children including James C. Connolly who was born on December 25th, 1837 in Mount Stewart, PEI. Thomas died on March 21st, 1872 in Charlottetown, PEI.  HE is buried there, but I don't know the exact cemetery.

Biography of Mary Lydia Mooers (1830-1914)-P15

Mary Lydia Mooers (1830-1914)-P15

Birth: March 17th, 1830 in Miramichi, New Brunswick

• Father: John Mooers (1796-1865)
• Mother: Mary Francis Small (1801-1873)

Married: Lewis L. Green (1815-1880) on April 10th, 1848 in Blissfield, New Brunswick

• Alfred Alonza Green(1448-1933)
• Elvira A. Green(1850-1917)
• Margaret Green(1852-1863)
• Alma Hannah Green(1854-1943)
• Alfretta Lola Green(1857-1946)
• Mary Agnes Green(1863-1942)

Married John Lightbody (1816-1908) in 1869 in Ludlow, ME

• Ernest Walter Lightbody (1868-1932)
• Margaret Lightbody (1872-1961)

Death: November 18th, 1914 in Ludlow, ME

Mary Lydia Mooers was born on March 17th, 1830 in Blissfield, New Brunswick to John Mooers and Mary Frances Small.  She was the 6th of 12 children.  According to birth records, the family seems to have jumped between Blissfield and Miramichi, but I suspect this is a artifact of the way things were recorded. Mary married Lewis l. Green in a Baptist Church on April 10th, 1848 in Blissfield, NB. Mary had just turned 18 and Lewis was 14 years older then her. Their first son, Alfred Alonzo Green, was born on September 14th, 1848 in Mirimachi, NB, only six months after their marriage.  Their first daughter was born on September 14th, 1850 in Blissfield, NB.  

The 1851 Canadian Census shows Mary and Lewis living in Blissfield, NB with their children Alfred and Elvira.  Lewis was a farmer and Shoemaker.  Their next child, Margaret Green was born on September 5th, 1852 in Miramichi, NB. Alma Hannah Green was born in Miramichi, NB on October 24th. 1854.  Alfretta Lola Green was born on June 9th, 1857 in Miramichi, NB.  Their next son, Daivd W. Green was born on February 27th, 1861 in Miramichi, NB.  The 1861 Canadian Census shws the family living in Blissfield, NB with Lewis listed as being a farmer.

Devoice documents show that Lewis abandoned Mary Lydia and the family on December 28th, 1862. This was while she was pregnant with their last child.  Mary Agnes Green was born on April 22nd, 1863 in Miramichi, NB.  Soon afterward, Mary Lydia and the children immigrated to the United States and moved to the Ludlow area.  Her father had moved to Ludlow, ME between 1848 and 1850 and I suspect Mary Lydia was joining them.  Mary Lydia's daughter Margaret died, at age 11, in Houlton, ME after the move.  

Mary Lydia had another child, Ernest Walter Lightbody with John Lightbody on November 19th, 1868 in Ludlow, ME.  She filed for Divorce from Lewis L. Green on December 10th, 1868 in Houlton and the Divorce was granted in February of 1869.  John Lightbody filed his intent to marry Mary Lydia in March of 1869.  There is an 1870 U.S. Census record of John living with a Margaret Lightbody and children in Ludlow, but this does not seem to match this John/Mary family.  John and Mary Lydia's last child, Margaret Lightbody, was born on  June 22nd, 1872 in Ludlow, ME.  The 1877 Land Ownership Map shows John owning land next to Mary Lydia's brother Peter Mooers.

The 1880 U.S. Census shows Mary Lydia living with John and their two children Ernest and Margaret as well as her children David and Mary.  John is a farmer and David is a Laborer. The 1900 U.S. Census lists Mary Lidia as a widow living with her daughter Margaret and son in law Joseph Campbell.  He son Ernest is also living with the family.  Joseph is a Farmer and Ernest is a Millman.  Mary Lydia is listed as being able to read, write and speak English.  The 1910 U.S. Census still has her living with Margaret and Joseph.  

Mary Lydia died on November 18th, 1914 in Ludlow, ME.  She was 84 years, 8 months and 1 day old.  She is buried in the Ludlow Cemetery.

Biography of Lewis L. Green(1815-1880)-P14

 Lewis L. Green(1815-1880)-P14

Birth: June 12th, 1815 in Miramichi, New Brunswick

• Father: Andrew Green(1784-1869)
• Mother: Sarah Mitchell(1785-1873)

Married: Mary Lydia Mooers(1830-1914) on April 10th, 1848 in Blissfield, New Brunswick

• Alfred Alonza Green(1448-1933)
• Elvira A. Green(1850-1917)
• Margaret Green(1852-1863)
• Alma Hannah Green(1854-1943)
• Alfretta Lola Green(1857-1946)
• Mary Agnes Green(1863-1942)

Death: After 1880

Lewis L. Green was born on June 12th, 1815 in Miramichi, New Brunswick to Andrew Green and Sarah Mitchell.  He was the 6th of 14 children.  He married Mary Lydia Green on April 10th, 1848 in Blissfield, New Brunswick.  He was 32 and she had just turned 18.  Their first child, Alfred Alonza Green, was born on September 14th, 1848 in Miramichi, New Brunswick. This was 7 months after their marriage.  Their second child, Elvira A. Green, was born on September 14th, 1850 in Blissfield, New Brunswick.  I don't know if the family jumped between Miramichi and Blissfield, or if Blissfield was considered part of Miramichi.  My suspicion is they didn't move.

 

The 1851 Canadian Census shows that Lewis was living in Blissfield, New Brunswick with Lydia (19), and their two children, Alfred (2) and Elvira(1).  Lewis is listed as being an farmer and a shoemaker. Their next child, Alma Hannah Green, was born on October 24th, 1854 in Miramichi, New Brunswick.  Alfretta Lola Green, their next daughter, was born on June 9th, 1857 in Miramichi, New Brunswick.  Their second son, David W. Green was born on February 27th, 1861 in Miramichi, New Brunswick.

The 1861 Canadian Census that Lewis (48) was living with his wife, Lydia (30), and children Alfred(12), Elvira(10), Margaret (8), Alma (6), Alfretta(4) and David (1) in Blissfield, New Brunswick.  He is listed as being a native of New Brunswick, a Baptist, and a farmer.   On December 28th, 1862 he abandoned his pregnant wife and children for parts unknown.  Based on the divorce records, the family had already moved to Ludlow, ME.   This gets complicated, as last child, Mary Agnes Green was born on April 22nd, 1863 in Miramichi, New Brunswick.  Their daughter Margaret died at age 11 in 1863 in Houlton, ME and is buried in Ludlow, ME.  Lydia files for Divorce on December 10th, 1868, six years after Lewis abandoned her. According to the documents, Lewis had been mentally abusive to Lydia and had threatened to kill her on various occasions.  He did not show up for the hearing, so there is no documentation of his rebuttal.  It is not surprising that he didn't show for the hearing, as the notice was posted in the Houlton Pioneer and he wasn't in the area. The divorce was finalized in February 1869.  She received custody of Elvira, Alma, Alfretta, David, and Mary Agnes.  

To add to the confusion, the 1870 U.S. Census shows Lewis living in Muskegon, MI and working as a Saloon Keeper.  He has $800 dollars in personal property that would have been about $16,200 today.  His two daughters, Elvira (20) and Alma (16) are living with him.  Given what was said in the divorce papers, why did the older daughter move out with him.  They soon moved out, as Elvira was married in 1871 in Maine and Alma was married in 1877 in Boston, MA.  

In December of 1878, Lewis appears to have sued his son Alfred for $4,000.  I am having a hard time understanding the documents to this may be tied Alfred borrowing money off of Lewis for the purchase of a house. Here is a transcription of the case.  

Know all men by these presents that I Alfred A. Green of the city of Muskegon Michigan are held and firmly bound unto Lewis L. Green of the same place in the sum of Four Thous. and Dollars ($4000.00) lawful money of the United States of America to be paid to the said Lewis L. Green or to his certain attorney heirs executors administrators or assigns to which payment will and truely to be made. I bind myself my heirs executors and administrators and each and every of them firmly by these presents and forride for the said Lewis L. Green through this obligation is to be paid otherwise to remain in full force.

    Albert A. Green

The 1880 Census has Lewis (69) living with Alfred (31), Alfred's wife Nancy(25) and  their two children, Nellie(4) and Clara (1) at 363 Terrace St.  Lewis has no occupation, but Alfred is a Steam Boat Engineer.  Lewis died at some time after the 1880 census.  I have not been able to find a record of his death or burial.  His son, Alfred, is buried in the Oakwood Cemetery in Muskegon, so it Lewis may be buried there as well.

Setting the stage for the biographies of Lewis L. Green and Mary Lydia Mooers

 Generally, I try and cram all the info I can into the biographies, but the next two need a bit of set up.  My third great grandparents Mary Lydia Mooers and Lewis L. Green got divorced.  Thanks to the Maine State Archive I was able to get the documentation for the divorce and here is the transcription.

• Here is the complaint:

To the Hon Justices of the Supreme Judicial Court now sitting at Bangor within and for the County of Penobscot, October Term, 1868.

Lydia Green of Ludlow in the County of Aroostook respectfully libels and gives the court to be informed that on the 10th day of April, 1848, at Miramachi in the Province of New Brunswick, she was lawfully married to one Lewis L. Green by the Rev. James Tozier, that she lived and cohabitation with her said husband in this State and has alway behaved herself as a faithful and chaste wife: that she has had by him six children, viz: Alfred, aged 22, Elvira, aged 18, Alma, aged 14, Alfraetta, aged 11, David, aged 9, and Agnes, aged 6.  And your libelant shows to your Honors that the said Lewis L Green, regardless of his duty, after their said marriage became drunken and dissolute in his habits. Neglecting to provide for your libelant and the family.  Treated her with great unkindness and cruelty, frequently made threats to kill her, and finally on the 28th day of December 1862, without cause wholly deserted your libelant, and has never returned to her or furnished her any support.  

Wherefore your libelant prays that the bonds of matrimony between her and her said husband may be dissolved and that the care and custody of the five minor children, because of unfitness and character of their father, may be decreed to her.  

And the said Lewis L. Green, residing out of this Stare, and in parts unknown to your libelant, she prays the court here to order such notice of the tendency of this libel to be given him, as the court shall adjudge proper returnable at the February term of said court in Aroostook County, 1869. 

December 10th, 1868

Lydia Green Her X Mark

Attest. C. M Herrin

• Here is the outcome:

This libel was entered at the present term of this court when it was proved that the following notice was daily given and published in said Aroostook Pioneer, together with said libel in December, 1868 and January, 1869. To wit: State of Maine Penobscot, ss. Sup. Jud. Court, October Term 1868. On the Foregoing libel, the Court orders that the said libelant give notice to the said Lewis L. Green of the tendency thereof by causing an attested copy of said libel and this order thereon, to be published three successive weeks in the Aroostook Pioneer a newspaper printed at Houlton in the county of Aroostook, the last publication thereof to be at least thirty days before the last Tuesday of February, 1869. That he may then appear before the Justices of said Court to beholden at Houlton within and for our county of Aroostook on the last Tuesday in February, 1869. And show cause if any he has why the prayer of said libel should not be granted.  

Witness, John Appleton, Esq. at Bangor, this 12th day of October 1868

E.L. Brett, Clerk Aline copy of libel and order of Curt thereon; Attest

E.L. Brett, Clerk. And the Defendant though solemnly called to come into court did not appear but made default. And now it appearing to the court that notice had been given as ordered, on the 6th day of the term after mature deliberation it is considered by the court, that the prayer of said Libelant be granted and it is hereby ordered and decreed that the bonds of matrimony here before existing between the said Lydia Green and Lewis L. Green be, and the same are hereby dissolved, and the custody of the five minor children be decreed to the libelant as prayed for.

So, what do we learn from this:

• Mary Lydia Green went by Lydia
• She is living in Ludlow, ME on December 10th, 1868
• Lydia and Lewis where married in Miramachi, New Brunswick on April 10th, 1848.
• She and her husband lived in Maine.  
• They have six children
• Alfred, age 22
• Elvira, age 18
• Alma, age 14
• Alfaretta, age 11
• David, age 9
• Agnes, age 6
• After their marriage, Lewis became drunken and dissolute
• Was at least mentally abusive to her, and threatened to kill her frequently
• Left her on December 28th, 1862 and did not return or send support
• Lewis was residing out of State, and in parts unknown
• Lydia cannot write, as she signed with and X
•  The court found in Lydia's favor.

There are some other documents that run at least somewhat counter to this narrative.

• If they had been living in Maine before Lewis left at the end of 1862, why was their daughter born in Miramichi, New Brunswick in April of 1863?
• The 1900 census lists her as immigrating in 1863.
• If he was such a horrible parent, why did his two daughters (Elvira and Alma) live with him in Michigan in 1870?
• Lydia's intention to marry John Lightbody was announced on March 15th, 1869.  Just after the divorce was finalized.  Their first child (Earnest Walter Lightbody) birth record shows he was born on November 19th, 1868. Though his obituary says November 9th, 1870.  The birth record also says they were already married.  

I suspect there is more to this story then what the court documents show, and we don't have Lewis's side of the story as he never showed up to the hearing.  That being said, most things points to Lewis L. Green being a nasty individual who abandoned his family.  In the next few posts I'll do my best to write up their biographies based on this and other information.

• William Newton Carpenter(1857-1938)
• Laura J. Carpenter(1860-1861)

Death: February 15th, 1885 in Hammond, ME

Rebecca Smith Hammond was born on October 14th, 1828 in Lincoln, ME to Benjamin Hammond and Ruth Hersey.   She was the forth of eight children.  She married Benjamin Franklin Carpenter on August 19th, 1843 in Lincoln, ME.  Their first child, Juliette H. Carpenter, was born on March 25th, 1844 in Lincoln, ME and died there on July 2st, 1844.   Their second child, Frank H. Washington, was born on May 18th, 1845 followed by a daughter, Kate, in 1847.  Their son, Thomas Jefferson, was born on May 7th, 1849.  This was soon after the death of Benjamin Franklin's brother, named Thomas Jefferson, on September 13th, 1848.  It is likely that their son was named after Benjamin's brother.

According to the 1850 U.S. Census, Rebecca was 27 years old  was living in Lincoln, ME with Benjamin's parents, Joshua(62) and Susan(60), her husband Benjamin(27) and their children, Frank(50, Kate(3) and Thomas(1).  Another son, Randolph J., was born on May 14th, 1851.  George Washington was born on July 8th, 1853.  They had another daughter, Margaret Anne on April 4th, 1855.  I've not been able to find a location of her birth, but suspect it was still in Lincoln, ME.  The family started moving soon after that.  Their last son, William Newton, was born in Van Buren, ME on January 3rd, 1857.

Benjamin was the first man to clear land in Letter B (now Hammond). He bought two lots in 1858, built a house and moved there in 1860. The 1860 U.S. Census has the family living in Houlton, ME.  I suspect this is actually Letter B.  Rebecca(37) was living with her husband Benjamin(37) and children frank(15), Kate(13), (Thomas) Jefferson(11), Randolph(9), George(7), Margaret(5)-listed as Mary, and William(3)-listed as Willie.  Their last child, Laura J., was born on December 9th, 1860 and died on May 24th, 1861.

The family was still in Hammond in 1870 according to the 1870 U.S. Census. Rebecca is 48 years old and listed as a citizen.  She is living with her husband, Benjamin(48), and children - Frank(25), Thomas J.(21), George W.(17), Margate A.(15) and William N. (13).  Kate has gotten married and moved out and Randolph is also gone.  

Benjamin died on January 21st, 1879 at age 56.  According to the 1880 Census, Rebecca is living with her son George(26) his wife Olive M. (19) and her other son William M.

• William Newton Carpenter(1857-1938)
• Laura J. Carpenter(1860-1861)

Death: January 21st, 1879 in Hammond, ME

Benjamin Franklin Carpenter was born on September 22nd, 1822 to Joshua Carpenter and Susan Heald.  He was the seventh of nine children.  He married Rebecca Smith Hammond on August 19th, 1843 in Lincoln, ME.  Their first child, Juliette H. Carpenter, was born on March 25th, 1844 in Lincoln, ME and died there on July 2st, 1844.   Their second child, Frank H. Washington, was born on May 18th, 1845 followed by a daughter, Kate, in 1847.  Their son, Thomas Jefferson, was born on May 7th, 1849.  This was soon after the death of Benjamin Franklin's brother, named Thomas Jefferson, on September 13th, 1848.  It is likely that their son was named after Benjamin's brother.

According to the 1850 U.S. Census, Benjamin Franklin was 27 years old and working as a farmer.  The farm is worth $1,000.  He is living in Lincoln, ME with his parents, Joshua(62) and Susan(60), his wife Rebecca(27) and their children, Frank(50, Kate(3) and Thomas(1).  Another son, Randolph J., was born on May 14th, 1851.  George Washington was born on July 8th, 1853.  They had another daughter, Margaret Anne on April 4th, 1855.  I've not been able to find a location of her birth, but suspect it was still in Lincoln, ME.  The family started moving soon after that.  Their last son, William Newton, was born in Van Buren, ME on January 3rd, 1857.

Benjamin was the first man to clear land in Letter B (now Hammond). He bought two lots in 1858, built a house and moved there in 1860. The 1860 U.S. Census has the family living in Houlton, ME.  I suspect this is actually Letter B.  Benjamin is a farmer with Real Estate worth $750 and a Personal Estate worth $200.  He is living with his wife Rebecca(37) and children frank(15), Kate(13), (Thomas) Jefferson(11), Randolph(9), George(7), Margaret(5)-listed as Mary, and William(3)-listed as Willie.  Their last child, Laura J., was born on December 9th, 1860 and died on May 24th, 1861.

The family is still in Hammond in 1870 according to the 1870 U.S. Census.  Benjamin is 48 years old and listed as a citizen.  He has continued farming and his real estate is now worth $800 and personal estate is worth $400.  He is living with his wife, Rebecca(48), and children - Frank(25), Thomas J.(21), George W.(17), Margate A.(15) and William N. (13).  Kate has gotten married and moved out and Randolph is also gone.  

The 1850, 1860 and 1870 census also have a record of Benjamin's farming information thought the 1870 does not seem to have been completely filled out by the census taker.  The table below compares the different years.  The 1850 record is a completely different farm then th one listed in 1860 and 1870.

Biography of Amy Wheeler(1793-1874)-W15

Amy Wheeler(1793-1874)-W15

Birth: September 18th, 1793 in Mason, NH

• Father: Timothy Wheeler(1752-1820)
• Mother: Sarah Hubbard(1556-1823)

Married: David Sanders(1791-1863) on October 14th, 1812 in Mason, NH

Children:

• Albert David Sanders(1816-1862)
• Lucy S. Sanders(1821-1910)
• Sarah Wheeler Sanders(1823-1919)

Death: March 13th, 1874 in Northampton, MA

Amy Wheeler was born on September 18th, 1793 in Mason, NH to Timothy Wheeler and Sarah Hubbard.  She married David Sanders on October 14th in Mason, NH.  Various document list the marriage year between 1811 and 1814. Given that their first child was born in April of 1814, I have chosen to set the date as October 14th, 1812. 

 

Their first child, William was born on April 15th, 1814.  The family moved to Whately, MA at some point between their marriage and the birth of their second son, Albert David on September 15th, 1816.  William passed away on January 18th, 1819 at age 4.

The 1820 Census has the family living in Whately, MA on August 7th, 1820.  The table below shows the information in the census and ties to individual members of the family.

Their first daughter, Lucy S. Sanders was born in Whately, MA on July 1st, 1821 and their last child, Sarah Wheeler Sanders was born on April 6th, 1823 in Whately, MA.  The 1830 and 1840 census shows the makeup of the family while they were living in Whately, MA.  Amy joined the 2nd Church in Whately on June 10th, 1836 and moved to the Edwards Church in Northampton on February 25, 1866.

The 1850 U.S. Census shows Amy, age 57, living in Whately with her husband David(59) and daughter Lucy(29).   The 1855 Massachusetts State Census shows Amy(62) living with David (64), her daughter Lucy(34), her daughter Sarah (32) and son-in-law Benjamin F. Reed (36) and their two children Jane C. Reed(9) and Albert D. Reed(2).   She is living with her husband David(69), daughter Lucy, daughter Sarah, son-in-law Benjamin Franklin Reed (40) and their 2 children Jane C. Reed (14) and Albert D. Reed (7).  There is also a 22 year old woman name Sarah Barrett living with them.  At first I suspected she was a servant, but she is shown as being from England and owning $200 in Real Estate and $200 in personal estate.  I now suspect she is a boarder or a missionary. 

Her son, Albert, died on October 15th, 1862 and her husband, David, died on June 1st, 1863 of consumption.  The 1865 Massachusetts Sate Census shows Amy(71) living, as a widow, in Whately with her daughters Lucy and Sarah and grandchildren Jane C. Reed and Albert D. Reed.  They have an Irish servant named Ellen Sullivan(20).  It should be noted that Lucy and Sarah are both listed as widows but we know Sarah's husband was still alive. The family soon moved to Northampton, MA and the 1870 U.S. Census shows them living there.  Amy is now 76 and is listed as having No Occupation, Lucy is 49 and Sarah is 47.  Both are listed as keeping house.  Jane and Albert are still living at home and the family has a Irish servant named Maggie Shannon (19).

Amy died on March 13th, 1874. I have not been able to find a grave listed on Find a grave, but I suspect David is buried in the Sanders family plot in the High Street Cemetery in Haydenville, MA.   I have transcribed his will, and will post that tomorrow.

Death: June 1st, 1863 in Whately, MA

Quick note to begin with, David's last name is listed as Sanders, Saunders and Sanderson in various documents.  I have gone with the Sanders version, since that is how he listed himself in his will.

David Sanders was born on February 9th, 1791 in New Ipswich, NH to Joseph Sanders and Elizabeth Hall.  He married Amy Wheeler on October 14th in Mason, NH.  Various document list the marriage year between 1811 and 1814.

Their first child, William was born on April 15th, 1814.  The family moved to Whately, MA at some point between their marriage and the birth of their second son, Albert David on September 15th, 1816.  William passed away on January 18th, 1819 at age 4.

The 1820 Census has the family living in Whately, MA on August 7th, 1820.  The table below shows the information in the census and ties to individual members of the family.

David operated a lumber mill and I have the account books for the business from 1846 into the 1850s. Someday I hope to transcribe them as they reference other members of the family and may also be of interest for general Whately history.  The 1850 U.S. Census shows David, age 59, living in Whately with his wife Amy (57) and daughter Lucy(29).  His Real Estate is valued at $3,000.  The Non Population census gives the following information:

	1850 Agriculture
Date:	September 4th, 1850
Acres, Improved:	50
Acres, unimproved:	25
Cash Value of Farm:	$3,000
Value of Farm Implements and Machinery:	$150

Milch Cows:	2
Other Cattle:	1
Swine:	2
Value of Livestock:	$200
Rye, Bushels:	50
Indian Corn, Bushels:	40
Irish Potatoes, Bushels:	40
Butter, lbs:	150
Hay, tons:	4
Value of Animals Slaughtered::	$25

The 1855 Massachusetts State Census shows David (64) living with Amy(62), his daughter Lucy(34), his daughter Sarah (32) and son-in-law Benjamin F. Reed (36) and their two children Jane C. Reed(9) and Albert D. Reed(2).  David is listed as being a Millwright and Benjamin F. Reed as working on the railroad.  The 1860 U.S. Census lists David (69) as being a farmer with his Real Estate being valued at $5000 and personal estate at $500.  He is living with his wife Amy (67), daughter Lucy, daughter Sarah, son-in-law Benjamin Franklin Reed (40) and their 2 children Jane C. Reed (14) and Albert D. Reed (7).  There is also a 22 year old woman name Sarah Barrett living with them.  At first I suspected she was a servant, but she is shown as being from England and owning $200 in Real Estate and $200 in personal estate.  I now suspect she is a boarder or a missionary.  Benjamin Franklin Reed is listed as being a Sash and Blind Maker.

David died on June 1st, 1863 of consumption.  He is listed as being a Millwright.  The place of interment location is difficult to read on the record and is either Williamsburg or West Whately.  I have not been able to find a grave listed on Find a grave, but I suspect David is buried in the Sanders family plot in the High Street Cemetery in Haydenville, MA.   I have transcribed his will, and will post that tomorrow.
