Lydia Chubb b. 1782 Hillsdale Columbia Co. New York
Parents: Samuel Chubb and Cyrene (--------)
Married: (.......) OLDS
Died: 29 Dec. 1847 Alford, MA. at age 65 .....Palsy
I've been trying to find Seth Olds and wife Catherine Kelsey, the 2x gr. grandparents of my husband.
The name OLDS connected with a Chubb caught my eye,since one of the grandchildren of Alvira OLDS Smith had the nickname of Chubb.
I believe that Seth Olds may have died between the years 1847 /1850, in Alford, MA.
There is a record of a Seth Olds death in 1848, Alford ,MA.,but without a recorded age , I'm unable to verify him as the husband of Catherine.
Catherine Kelsey OLDS moved to Morris, Otsego Co. and is found in the 1850 Census living with her children:
Lucing(?), James, Orrin, Horace, Frederick and Charles age 3 years.
More than likely she would have had a reason to relocate to this area,perhaps someone from her family or the OLDS family was living nearby.
She later married a William Griffin and is found living in Hillsdale, Michigan by the time of the 1860 census.
I've read through some of the messages and see questions about a Samuel Chubb..would this be the father of Lydia?
Thanks for any feedback
Hope to hear from family.
