Marie remarried and had another daughter, Cecelia Johnston/Johnson in 1887 (although her birthdate changes from one census to another). Three more children followed, then their father also died. My GGrandmother, Nora Louise, at age 10/11, was put out as a live-in servant girl to a Darcy family in Buffalo, and at least some of the other children were put in an 'orphanage'. Then Marie remarried again to a Draper, he was electrocuted 2 weeks later, then she married someone named Stuart. My GGrandmother tried to find her 1/2 siblings - she found a boy, Edward, in Newfane but Lucy had been adopted and the story is that she went to Chicago and became a pianist. The other child was named Leona. That's it, I'm afraid ! Thank you for your interest, Maureen Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
