Misc. Notes
Grandma Crisalle told me that Charlotte was married four times. Ernie and Louis were brothers, Minnie was a half-sister (Hall). I remember going to visit Minnie in the nursing home in Gloversville when I was very young.

She had a granddaughter named Miss Ellen Burt of Troy (see Hiram newspaper articles) -- no idea how she fits in. Must be a daughter who married a Burt that I don’t know about.

Case has her marrying an unnamed person in 1877, this was likely William Hall.22


The Salem Town Historian lists a genealogy file (off-line) for the Goodrich family (http://www.salem-ny.com/archives/arcpage6.html); might have to check that.

She listed in 1880 that she and her parents were from New York.

There is a Lottie Smith of the right age on 5th Street in Schenectady in the 1930 census, living with Tom and Lottie Gitsham, listed as mother-in-law, age 75, widowed, she and parents from NY. The younger Lottie was 44 (1886). Such a daughter would come after Minnie, before Louis.

In 1870, there is a Lottie Goodrich, age 22, born in NY, working as a milliner in Chauncy Smith’s hotel in town of Alburgh, Grand Isle County, Vermont. Smith was a 62-year-old hotelkeeper originally from Canada; his wife, presumably, was 48-year-old Laura A. There are no other Smiths (like Fred or Frank) connected to this establishment.

In 1880, Lottie Hall is living in Jackson, Washington County, with husband William, a 35-year-old farmer, and son Carrol, 2, and daughter Minnie, 3/12 (in June). Also with them is brother-in-law Major Goodrich, 15. William Hall and his parents were from Vermont.24

In 1900, Lottie Smith is living on Washington Street, Greenwich, NY. She lists herself as the head of household, is 45, born July 1854, and is widowed. She said she had 5 children, all still living. She reported a number of years married, which may be 23, but it is crossed out. She reported she was born in New York, her father in Massachusetts, and her mother in New York. She was working as a knitting mill hand. She could read and write and rented her home. With her were Carroll Hall, son, age 23 and a “leather hand,” and Ernest Smith, son, age 7, at school.10

I’m doubting the age of 45 and the year of 1854; other censuses put this closer to 1857.

Misc. Notes
Ernie Smith’s step-father.

In the 1915 Census, he and Charlotte lived with his stepson Ernest Smith in Glenville, next to Edward and Hawley Cath, and not far from Selena and Cora Cath and Thomas Plummer’s family. They were three pages away from Teunis Cath.28

In 1930 census, living with wife Lois on Ridge Road, next to Edward L. Cath.5 Asa’s obituary has him in Glenville in 1930; articles put him there as early as 1915 and as late as 1937.

In the 1850 Census, there is a Hiram King in Cambridge, but he is 36 years old, and so is his wife Mary. They have 3 children and others living with them . . . seems too old to be Hiram King’s father; one of the boys in his teens here could be Hiram L. King’s father, though. He is next to a Stephen King as well. Can’t read the names well online. This Hiram is also in the 1870 census, 56 years old. The only 5-year-old Hiram King in New York is in French Creek, Chautauqua County. Hiram was then living with wife Mary, daughter Jessie (26), sons James (20), George (18). In 1880, he shows still in Cambridge, age 67, still with Mary, Jessie, James and George. James was listed as a teacher.

In 1870, there’s a Hiram King aged 7, son of Peter and Tebitha King, in Northampton, Fulton County.29

There’s a Hiram King working as a laborer on the farm of Edwin Lawrence in Mayfield, Fulton County, in 1880, age 16. He and his parents were born in New York, and he had attended school during the previous year.24
Newspaper article
Gazette, November 5, 1914:
Farm Building in Glenville Burns
The barns and out-houses of Hiram King, who lives near South Glenville, were entirely destroyed by fire last night, the fire starting from an exploding lantern, it is understood, and spreading rapidly after reaching the straw and hay, through the entire structure. The loss was estimated at from $500 to $800. The barn was on what is known as the Gus Chamberlain farm. Mr. King only moved in a short time ago.
He was upstairs in the barn getting straw for bedding his stock at about 7 o’clock last night when the lantern in some way exploded. Telephone calls were sent to the neighbors and a bucket-brigade was formed. The contents of the barn, with the exception of the hay and straw, was saved, and the house was with difficulty prevented from igniting.
