In later years these two ladies lived on Main St in Downsville. Maud/Maude was my Grandmother's niece. My Grandmother's sister, Elizabeth Rockefeller married Jacob Mc/MacDonald. From what I find in the census (tn Colchester), Laura is listed as Jake's niece.

Yes, you're right - Laura did marry a Terry. Which one - I've no idea. Seems I remember that her son died as a result of drowning - (this is from the recesses) in a pond - broke thru the ice or something of that sort. It more than likely would have been published in the Walton Reporter as I think the Downsville (Progress ?) would have been gone by that time. Sorry I can't be of more help at the moment.
