Back on Track
Christmas is over, and I am back on track. I had to take a break in order to catch up on my Christmas knitting. This is an example of what I typically make out of my hand spun and home dyed wool yarn. You can typically expect a weekly-ish post about the Super Scott Family starting next week-ish.

Mary Jane Bacon Scott Hamm part 5 -- 1880s, not much information
This is all there is for this decade. Most likely she worked raising her family, worked the farm. Trying to make things better.
1880
Census |
| 1880 Census for Mary Jane Bacon Scott Hamm Salisbury NH |
Here, she is 43 years old (either she is fudging on her age by about 5 years, or her neighbors are guestimating). She still lives with husband Amos age 45. Daughter Mertie M. Ham is 7 years old. Mary's occupation is listed as Keeping House, but she would most likely have helped her husband out on the farm
Her other children are not on this census, we'll have to keep an eye out.

The 15th Amendment outlawed racial discrimination at the election polls, but white leaders in the South ignored the Constitution. In 1870, Mary Jane Bacon may have witnessed or experienced political discrimination while living in Salisbury, New Hampshire after ratification of the 15th Amendment.

They lived in Salisbury, Merrimack, New Hampshire per Census. She was 28 years old, her husband Harvey was 33. Children Marshall was 3 years old and Adela G. was 4 months old. Also living with them is Harvey's sister Lucretia M. Scott, age 31 years old. It doesn't look like she ever married. We will try to find out in another blog.

1866
Mary Jane Bacon married Amos L Ham in Salisbury, New Hampshire, in 1866 when she was 34 years old. I don't have primary sources for this marriage, yet. But she had young children, and it was pretty important to have a husband as a partner. Wonder how they met? He had also been married before, had a daughter the same age as Marshall.

Marriage
 |
| Harvey and Mary Jane Bacon Scott Marriage Record |
Married Harvey Scott on 2 January 1855 in Boscawen, Merrimack, New Hampshire. Not much to see in this record. So much information not written down by what I think of as a lazy clerk. It must have been a cold wintery wedding. Again, I wonder how did they meet? By the way, in the Ancestry.com index, her husband is indexed as "Hanry" Scott.

Second child, first daughter Adella Grace (aka Della) Scott was born 4 February 1860 in Salisbury, Merrimack, New Hampshire
