    1. [WIFONDDU] CRARY HEMENWAY 1855
    2. This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Surnames: HEMENWAY CRARY Classification: queries Message Board URL: http://boards.rootsweb.com/localities.northam.usa.states.wisconsin.counties.fonddulac/3990/mb.ashx Message Board Post: I have found my gr grandmother, Carrie HEMENWAY, in Fond Du Lac in 1860 census at 1 yr old but I am looking for information on her parents and her uncle. Salmon HEMENWAY was a farmer in Fond Du Lac in 1855-1860 and possibly later. Lydia Lucretia HEMENWAY nie CRARY, was his wife. They had the following children: Lovinus, Millard, Herbert, Carrie (although Cora on the 1860 census). They also had a son who died in infancy and a daughter Vesta at some point (most likely after 1860). My gr grandmother's brother Albert M. CRARY was involved in the theater in Fond Du Lac in the fall of 1855. He referred to himself as Mell, so there may be something in the paper regarding the theater that year and possibly something with his name on it as he says in his Memoirs that he had a leading part in a few plays. Those plays being "Don Caezer De Bazan," "The Golden Farmer," and "Tootles." Since I found them in the 1860 Census I don't need that info, but I would like to find them in 1870 (which so far I have been unable to find them) to see if they are still in Wisconsin at that time. I would like to see any newspaper clippings, birth and death records, etc.
