I've "rescued" an old autograph album which originally belonged to Althea S. BARRETT of Sullivan, NH. I believe that Althea's Mother was a SPAULDING and the album includes entries from members of the SPAULDING Family. The album contains the following entries: Autograph Album belonging to Althea S. BARRETT Sullivan N.H. Referred to as "Allie" Based on limited research I believe that this album belonged to Althea Spaulding BARRETT b. 15 Nov 1869 in Sullivan, NH to parents Marshall John BARRETT and Clarissa Adaline SPAULDING. The family was recorded in the 1870 census of Gilsum, NH and 1880 census of Sullivan, NH: 1870 census: Marshall J. BARRETT, age 24, a Farm Laborer, born NH Clara BARRETT, age 45, Keeping House, born NH (think the age is incorrect, should be 25) Mabel BARRETT, age 1, born NH Althea BARRETT, age 7 months, born NH 1880 census: Marshall J. BARRETTE, age 33, born NH, a Farmer, parents born NH Clara A. BARRETTE, wife, age 35, born NH, House Keeper, parents born NH Mabel I. BARRETTE, dau, age 11, born NH, at School Althea S.

BARRETT, 1 Dec 1883, Sullivan NH This would be Althea's sister Ethel Abbie BARRETT b. 15 July 1874 in Sullivan, NH to parents Marshall John BARRETT and Clarissa Adaline SPAULDING * Marshall J. BARRETT, Sullivan NH Althea's father Marshall J. BARRETT married Clara A. SPAULDING on 3 Sept 1867 in NH (don't know why she is sometimes noted as Clara and sometimes as Clarissa) In 1900 census records for Sullivan, NH include Marshall and family as follows: Marshall J. BARRETT, age 55, born Aug 1844, married 33 years, born NH, parents born NH, a Farmer Clara A. BARRETT, wife, age 54, born Feb 1845, married 33 years, 8 children/7 living, born NH, parents born NH Sarah E. BARRETT, dau, age 19, born Feb 1881, born NH, a School Teacher Bessie R. BARRETT, dau, age 15, born June 1884, born NH, at Home Carl M. BARRETT, son, age 11, born Aug 1888, born NH, at School In 1910 the family was still living in Sullivan, NH with census records providing the following information: Marshall J. BARRETT, age 64, married 42 years, born NH, parents born NH, a Farmer Clara A. BARRETT, wife, age 65, married 42 years, 8 children/6 living, born NH, parents born NH Bessie V.

CONANT on 15 Mar 1890 in NH. * Lester M. BARRETT, 4 Nov 1885, Sullivan NH Althea's brother is found in the 1900 census records of Keene, NH as follows: Lester M. BARRETT, age 27, born Feb 1873, married 4 years, born NH, parents born NH, a Butcher Rose A. BARRETT, wife, age 28, born May 1872, married 4 years, 1 child/1 living, born NH, parents born NH, House keeper Paul M. BARRETT, son, age 3, born Apr 1897, born NH Herbert FLAGG, employee, age 18, born Jan 1882, born NH, parents born NH, a Farm Laborer * Henry O. SPAULDING, West Keene NH I believe that this may be Henry Otis SPAULDING b. 2 Sept 1835 in Sullivan or Keene, NH to parents Ashley SPAULDING and Clarissa KEITH, married to Sarah Ellen HOUGHTON on 3 Feb 1858 in NH, and died 15 Jan 1918 in Keene, NH. Wondering if this might be Clarissa or Clara SPAULDING BARRETT's older brother? They are included in the 1880 census of Keene, NH as follows: Henry O. SPAULDING, age 44, born NH, a Farm Laborer, parents born NH Sarah E. SPAULDING, wife, age 46, born NH, Keeping House, parents born NH Daniel M. SPAULDING, son, age 20, born NH, a Student Charles H.
