I'm wondering what the likelihood of a widowed woman about age 30-35 with a child about 1-2 years old would be of her immigrating to the US? Just recently I've learned that my gggrandmother may have been married with a child prior to her marrying my gggrandfather. The timeline is approximately this: -- Mary's son Jacob b ca 1851 in GE; census records say he immigrated in either 1853 or 1855 -- Mary's next son b Nov 1855 in NJ; different husband Any thoughts welcome.
