I am looking for a Hattie (could be Harriet) G. STEWART, b. abt 1859-1869. Hattie married Artemus HATCH (b. Oneida, Madison, NY, 1859) in 1882 in Oneida, NY at the home of R.J. STEWART of Oneida (marriage record has been found in the Presbyterian church in Oneida). Artemus and Hattie may have had a daughter, Elizabeth Stewart HATCH, but this is not known for certain. What is known for certain is that Artemus was in Kansas with a woman named Lydia (supposedly SHAW, could this really be Hattie?) by 1886. It appears that Elizabeth (who we are only guessing may have been a daughter of Artemus and Hattie) stayed behind in Oneida, NY. So far we have been unable to ascertain the age or birthdate of Elizabeth Stewart HATCH. We are also interested in finding out if Hattie was still around in Oneida after Artemus disappeared, sometime in 1885 or 1886, or if perhaps Hattie died, and Artemus remarried. Although in the last case, one would have to wonder why Artemus didn't take his daughter with him to Kansas....if she was his daughter. We are looking for parents names of Hattie, and a birthplace and year so we can determine once and for all if Hattie and Lydia are one in the same person or not. Lydia was supposedly born in NJ in Feb 1869 (although I sure can't find her there, or in the 1870 NY or NJ census). If the birthdate for Lydia is correct, I am doubtful that she was the one who married Artemus in 1882, as she would only have been 13 at the time. The wife of Artemus HATCH has been a mystery for so long now. Artemus and the mysterious Lydia are my great grandparents, and NONE of their descendants seem to know who Lydia was, or where she came from or where she went after Artemus died. Thanks for any help!
