Message text written by INTERNET:[email protected] >Essex County, Massachusetts April 1910 Danvers Town, Danvers State Hospital ED 281 sheet 8 A line 50 Johnson , George Inmate male white age 54 S Mass/Mass/ Mass occupation Mail Carrier I had sent you a message to your own e-mail addy earlier. Hope you did receive it. you are welcome!! Gladys< Thanks, Gladys...yes, I did receive it, and sent you a thank you! Now, then a friend in Vermont went searching for in the 1910 census for "my" George, and found a George W. Johnson (wrong middle initial), who was the right age... the man above was a year too old. "George W. Johnson" was married for the second time, had been married ten years, which would fit right in with the death of "my" George's 1st wife in 1900. Also, he was 53 years old, which is correct for "my" George. Also, he worked in the shoe industry, which also is a fit for "my" George, who was working in the leather industry at the time of his marriage to his first wife. His father and his mother's entire family worked in the leather, or shoe industry. This second marriage may be the reason my grandmother went to live with her aunt following the death of her mother, her elder sister having married by that time.. My George P. Johnson is listed in the 1880 census with his first wife, Annie, as well as their first child, a dau., 7 mos. old. My grandmother was born in 1883. How I wish the 1890 census had not been, for the most part, destroyed...it could have been a huge help. I'm sending for the marriage record for "George W. Johnson and his second wife to see if he is the right one. The census information in those days was taken from whoever was home, and so there can be discrepancies. here and there. Many thanks for your help! Claudia
