Amos L. Hamm part 3, 1850s


  • 1850 Census age 16, Sheffield Vermont
  • 1855 Marriage Amelia Hart



1850 Census


age 15, Sheffield, Caledonia Vermont, living with 33 year old Farmer and his wife, David and Clarissa Jenness, and their children Amos age 6, Chas age 4, Hiram D. age 1.  Is he an orphan by this time?  Or is Clarissa his sister?

Hmmm.  Where is that census image?  Why did I not include it here, and I cannot find it in my computer file?

Here it is.  I accessed the information, but failed to include the image.  Silly me!

Amos is 20 years old when he married Miss Amelia Hart in Manchester NH.  Again, notice the dearth of information.  No parents' names, no places of birth, no residences.  AHHHHHch!  That, dear readers, is the sound of frustration.  Ok.  Move it along.

How did they meet?  Why is Amos in New Hampshire?
