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.
24In 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.
10I’m doubting the age of 45 and the year of 1854; other censuses put this closer to 1857.
