Amos L. Hamm

Amos Hamm, age 69, born February 1831 in Vermont.  Again no street name nor house number, but living in Salisbury, Merrimack, New Hampshire.  He married Mary in 1868, and has been married for 32 years.  Both parents were born in Massachusetts, he is a farmer, owning his own farm.  He lives with his wife Mary J, and granddaughter Celia A. Forsaith age 5, born in April 1895 in New Hampshire.  Both of her parents were born in NH.  Celia must be the daughter of one of Amos' daughters who married a Forsaith.  What happened to the parents?  This is way before any world wars, and way too late for the Civil War.

Updated -- that daughter is, I think, Mertie Ham who married her neighbor Frank Forsaith.  This is what I suspect.

Okay, so I tried to Google this area.  I did find a South road, but nothing like Andover RFD1.  Do you know what this may be?  If so, give us a shout using the form on the right.  Thank you.
