I have a Nellie Carson born abt. 1873-74 in Wisconsin. Had a sister named Mertie one year
younger, also born in Wisconsin.
they show up on the census for 1880 in Steele County Minnesota living with a Nahem Grout
as his stepdaughters. A Margaret Grout is Nahme's wife. Margaret is shown as being
born in Canada and both of her parents were born in Ireland.
Nellie and Mertie's father was born in Scotland(according to the census) and mother in
Ireland.
Not sure of the relationship here with the Grouts...as Nellie's parents are shown as
coming from Ireland and Scotland and Margaret is shown born in Canada.
You mentioned your J. Albert was married twice...who was the first wife...do you know??
