Eliza Fay m. Orrin Whitmore abt 1842. They had son Merritt who went to seek
his fortune in the 1860's and was never heard from again. Daughter Mellisa
b. 11/24/1846 m. Orson R LaDuc. Son Charles Henry Whitmore b.11/25/1847.
1850 census Cayuga NY there was a 1 year old Freemon. Orrin 31yr b.
VT,Eliza 28 yr b.Canada, kids b. NY. Merritt age 7 was at the neighbors
Joseph Whitmore 73 b NH & Hannah 63 b. VT. Don't know if they were related.
Just seems likely.
Chas H death cert 3/23/1930 says Orrin b. VT Eliza b. VT. 1860 census
Addison, Steuben, NY. Orrin 40 b.NY, Emma E 30 b. VT. Betsy E 14 b NY,Chas H
13 b NY, Rebecca 8 b NY, Emma V 2 b NY. 1900 census gives birth place of
parents of Chas H as VT & Canada. The hard data bears out the story my
uncle told me. However, I haven't a clue as to exactly where Eliza came
from. These are the only records I have been able to find on them.
