I'm trying to help someone solve a puzzle. According to published Williamstown vital records, Elisha and his wife, Annah, had a daughter, Elmina Elizabeth, born Sept. 29, 1826. I'm told that Elmina married into the Ayres family, but I have not been able to substantiate this. On the 1850 census, Elisha Brooks and family were in New Ashford, MA, but Elmina was not listed with them. Nor can I find her anywhere else. Neither a marriage record nor death record appears for her in the published vital records of either Williamstown or New Ashford. (These records go only to 1850.) I did find elsewhere that a younger daughter of Elisha/Annah, Sarah, born about 1842, married a James Gilbert Ayres of CT. Although a couple of decendants' entries show up for Elmina's birth, there seems to be nothing beyond that. Does anyone have any ideas on how I can track her? Annah Brooks appears to have died sometime between the 1850 and 1860 census records. Where might family members have ! been buried? I do not see that there were any cemeteries in Williamstown. Thanks for any suggestions you can offer. Kay
