|
| 118 | 2011-Mar Obit in Hillsboro implies death was from convulsions due to Bright's Disease (a common term for kidney related diseases) but we know from the death record this isn't the case 2010-Nov EMail from a cousin of Elton Lynn Matthews states that family lore is "Vera died while giving birth to what is rumored to have been a daughter named Cherry. She was somewhere in the south - Georgia or the Carolinas maybe. Because she was not married to the father of the child, her father (Herman) would not pay for the body to be returned to Hillsboro, NH. Her mother (Olive) borrowed money from a local family to pay for her return." Some of this is contradicted by Vera's death certificate - she died in Newport NH - however the part regarding child may be true as she died of eclampsia - a state of seizure related to pregnancy. 2007-Oct Found Vera's death certificate - interesting that she died of eclampsia and something else ⁃ Should find out if eclampsia was only for pregnancy - because she wasn't married ⁃ Also listed her occupation as a stenographer | MATTHEWS, Vera E (394)

HOWEVER - no marriage dates. Need to verify connection between Zenas Matthews and Joseph Matthews... - DONE - Death record for Joseph lists' Zenas as father.

Need to check the records in Henniker on this one Found birth record @ NH Vital Records. Date Matches Cogswell, but no place listed.

Found birth record for 1840 in Henniker. Need to find Marriage record - still suspicious of the date. Found death record for 1920 - aged 79, 5 months 14 days. - matches birth year of 1840 - so she really was 15. 2010 Nov In reviewing the notes below I wonder if she was really 15 at the time of her marriage? seems really young even for 1855. Should try to find a birth record to validate (Adding task) 2006 Initial "M" comes from Son Herman's Marriage license 1891 Interesting note: Adaline's mother died when she was 9.5 - her father married his second wife that same year (Jan vs. Nov) Her father died when she was 13 - and she married Joseph Matthews just 2 years later at 15.

|
| 141 | 2014-Dec Added photograph of gravestone and transcription to burial event. Note that grave reads Abi Sylvester - did she remarry after Stephen Died. I’m assuming she remarried and Cogswell has her maiden name correct. | ALEXANDER, Abigail (546)
|
| 142 | 2014-Dec Added photo & transcription of gravestone - taken in April of 2011. 2011-Mar: Found reference to Amesbury - maybe his birth was there and not Rowley? Cogswell Note (p140) Capt.
