As I’ve written before in my blog posts about my grandmother, she married a widower with 2 teen age children. I haven’t found any subsequent information or references to these two children. I’m curious. One would think that they would continue to figure in their father’s and new stepmother’s lives. But I don’t recall ever hearing anything more about them.
Somewhere in various bits of family letters etc. I do recall coming across a very tender and loving letter written by my grandfather to Lucy when she was about 10 – I’ll search for that letter – I hope I can find it.
Also I vaguely recall that his siblings helped look after the infants Lucy and Charles. The widowed Charles had a large number of siblings, some of whom might have helped in this sad situation. Specifically, his sister Volney might have taken on the young children – again I think I found this somewhere – now to find it again.
I’ve turned to Ancestry.com to gather more information.
