My Sarah was actually Sarah Dorchester (1831-1860 daughter of Albin and Mary) prior to her being married to My great grandfather John Fisher (1832-1909). I think she died after child birth as their daughter Sarah Dorchester Fisher (1860-1913) was born then and first cared for by her brother and his wife, later cared for by John Fisher's sister Katherine and her husband Edward VanSlyck. Sarah first married George Cassidy and they had a son Walter. Years later she married a Mr. Ray. I do have family connections in Madison County, NY, not familiar with the names you mention, but will sure check on any kinship. Do you have a guess of a time frame of the photo album? THANKS!
