Notes 1855 New York Census lists Edward as being born in Virginia, (probably supposed to be Vermont) Sarah born in Chenango County, New York, and also lists a Bertha Tuttle, 85 years old, as "Mother", which corresponds well to other info. Bertha is supposed to be born in Conneticut. Is her maiden name Tuttle or did she remarry after Edward's father died?

Notes

  • Death record lists 28 May as death date. Also lists Massachusetts as birthplace.
