Searching for the parents and birthplace of Lydia Ann Chadwick. I have her birth date as
5 Feb 1840. She may have been born in Monmouth County, NJ or in England. She married
Joseph Riter Nelson in Utah Territory in 1858. One daughter, Elizabeth, was born in Utah
on 22 September 1859. The other 14 children were born in Iowa and Missouri. I have
searched for years and found no additional clues to her origin. On her death certificate
a daughter stated Lydia was born in England. My grandfather said she was born in Red
Bank, Monmouth County, NJ. I have been unable to verify either place. Any help will be
appreciated very much.
