I suspect this is the farming land that Adella inherited? from her first husband.  Or, is this land from Amos' family?  Or, did they purchase this land together after they were married?

1876, age 17

Adella Grace Scott married Morrill D. Scribner in Franklin, Merrimack, NH on 23 December 1876.

He was her neighbor 6 years ago.  At this point, Morrill is 21 years old, Adella is 17.  Morrill is a farmer in Salisbury while Adella is a teacher in the same town.  This is a first marriage for them both.  They were married in Franklin Falls, New Hampshire, in the Baptist church

Morrill's parents were Jeremiah and Eliabeth Stevens Scribner.  Her parents are listed as Harvey and Mary Jane Bacon Scott.  The record is not filled out fully, which is frustrating but is pretty typical, unfortunately.

Amos Hamm

Amos Hamm, age 78, born 1832 in Vermont.  Once again, no street name nor house number for their home in Salisbury, Merrimack NH.  He is living with his wife Mary J, this is the second marriage for them both, and they have been married for 39 years.  Mary Jane has had 5 children, three of whom are still living.  In this census, both of his parents are born in Vermont, not Massachusetts as is recorded the previous census.  Amos owns his own farm.  In this census we find out that Amos fought in the Civil War for the Union Army.

Please note the family just next door is Frank and Mertie Hamm Forsaith, Amos' daughter.  So, this Augusta C. Forsaith is Amos and Mary's granddaughter.  That will teach me to look at everybody on the page.

He's lived here for 40 years, died 11 February 1915, just days before his 84th birthday.  Here is confirmation he was born in Sutton Vermont.  He is a widower by this time, he died of Arteriosclerosis, which is hardening of the arteries.  The informant did not know any information about his parents.

Some thoughts -- The person writing this had almost perfect penmanship.  It is a style easy to read, but I've been unable to identify the form of penmanship.  It isn't Spencerian which typically has elaborate calligraphy.  It may be Zaner-Bloser which was taught during this time frame, except this man's personal style is vertical.  Do you have an idea?

Amos Ham Probate

This is the probate, proving Amos' will.  He'd named Mertie as his executrix, leaving her his property, dated 23 February 1915.
