Does anyone have any additional info on this family?
Nettie CAREY was born about 1868. John Heenan CAREY was born 15 Apr 1860 in Colrain,
Franklin, MA. He was her uncle. They were married on 13 May 1885 over the line in in
Halifax, Windham, VT. She was 17 and 6 months pregnant at the time with Alice. I do not
know if the child was his. Over the next 25 years, she has 10 more children. Nettie and
John live in Marlboro and Newfane in Windham County VT until 1910. In that year, John
remains in Marlboro working his farm with his oldest son, John Jr. Nettie appears to have
left him and taken the other kids. She is a married head-of-household living in Newport,
Sullivan, NH. She has 5 children with her: Bertha (18), Clareance (7), Edna (4), Ora (2)
and Harry (11 months). She has taken a border or two to make ends meet. I have an
unconfirmed source that she died in 1915 at age 47.
I am looking for a DOB, DOD, burial place, court appearences, or any insight with regard
to the marriage.
