Linda,
I have no clue who the "widow" is since the obit named only the "young
daughter, Miss Annie". Just my luck. I plan on taking a day trip to the Balto. Co.
Register of Wills within the next couple of weeks to see if I can find a will for James.
That should tell me who his wife at the time of his death was. If I can get a copy of
Rosetta's obit that should also tell their relationship, I hope.
On the 1860 census Jame's age is listed as 35 (wrong) and Rose as 33 (also wrong). On
the 1870 census James is 50 and so is Rosey. I always thought the people on census records
where listed oldest to youngest but that isn't so for the 1870 census i.e, James 50,
Rosey 50, Daniel 13, James 20 and Mike 15.
If only Rose had lived one more year the relationship would have been listed on the
census.
