Dear Annette, I was pleased to receive a reply from you. I'm glad we made contact again! Thanks for looking up the Campbell's in Yates County. I was hoping to get a hit on Stephen Campbell in Yates County because his marriage certificate to Anna, dated 1900, lists his residence as Bellona and his birthplace as Benton Center . I was also really hoping to find some of the Albertson's, especially Anna (my primary focus for this inquiry), around the time of her birth, circa 1882. My data indicates the Albertson's were long-time residents of Yates County. [NOTE: The most reliable data I have in my possession (Anna's marriage certificate to Stephen Campbell) lists Anna's parents as Charles Albertson and Mary Anderson, for whom I don't yet have any information or data.] Anna was married to Stephen Campbell on 27 March 1900 according to the copy of their marriage license I possess. They had three children: Clarence (1902)(my grandfather), Lillian (1904), and Eliza (1906), all born in Ontario County, presumably. According to reports I've received from other NY local researchers (I've not checked this myself), Stephen is listed in the 1910 Federal Census, BY HIMSELF! Anna and the children are not listed with him. Stephen is also listed in the 1920 Federal Census as an "Inmate" at Willard State Hospital, AS A WIDOWER; again, no Anna. Where was Anna in 1910?? Did she die before that year? Where were her children by Stephen Campbell in 1910? With whom were they living? Those are some of the mysteries I'd like to solve. If Anna died, I'd like to know when so I can request a death certificate from the NY Vital Records office in Albany before the rates go up on April 1, 2003! Stephen was re-married to a woman named Rhoda Bundy Stark (date unknown), by whom he had two more children: Eleanor (1920) and Vivian (1922). As best I can piece the data together, Stephen was in Willard when his first daughter by Rhoda Stark was born in March 1920 (the 1910 Federal Census was enumerated in January, showing Stephen at Willard. Supposedly, his discharge date from Willard was June 1920!) . Rhoda is reported to have died in 1927 leaving Stephen a widower once again. He's listed in the 1930 Federal Census as a widower. Stephen died in 1936. How did all this transpire? I'm looking for clues to help me answer this question. Would you check any records to which you have access that might help solve these mysteries, please? Thank you very much for your help.
