The Young Family In Nunda In 1855

While searching for more about the family of William Young, who married Mary Ann Alexander on 02 MAY 1817 at the Garden St Dutch Reformed Church, New York, New York, I found them in the 1855 New York Census.   Sixty-four year old William Young was born in Rensselaer, as was his sixty-six year old brother Daniel Young.  Mary Ann, age 58, was born in the City of New York.  All of the children still living at home were born in Livingston County.  The family had been living in Nunda, Livingston County, New York, for three years (they lived in Leicester, also in Livingston County, in 1850, and were still living in Nunda in 1860.

Child George Young M 12

Brother Daniel Young M 66

William and his brother Daniel were born in Rensselaer; the family had been living in Nunda, Livingston Co., New York, for 3 years.

Browsed the 1865 census for Nunda, Livingston Co., NY, but did not find the Young family.

Mary E. (Young) Shaw Was Hiding In Plain Sight

Often when the wife of the Justice of the Peace or Minister performing a wedding acts as a witness, the spouse is a witness primarily because they're there.  But not always.  And not in this case.

I've known for some time that Manley Squier and Caroline Young were married* in Kent County, Michigan, in 1860, at the house of John C. and M. E. Shaw.  A little time was spent trying to place the Shaws way back when, with negative results.

*Squier, Manly, Vermontville, Eaton County, and Caroline Young, Cascade (formerly of Livingston County, N.Y.) 3 May 1860, at house of John C. Shaw, Esq., Cascade, by John B. Shaw, (J.P.) Mrs. M.E. Shaw, and Mrs. Rositta [Webster] Washburn, Cascade, witnesses.

The death record of Caroline (Young) Squier identified her parents as William Young and Mary Alexander.

While updating the search on Mary (Alexander) Young, the 1911 death record for Mary E. Shaw, whose parents were William Young and Mary Alexander, surfaced.

In 1880, John C. (age 61) and Mary E. (age 56) Shaw were living in Leslie, Ingham County, Michigan; also in the household was Charlotte Peck (age 38).  In 1900 the widowed Mary E. Shaw (who had 0 children according to the census) was living with Charlotte Peck, in Leslie, Michigan.

In 1860, the year Caroline Young was married by John Shaw in Cascade, Kent Co., Michigan, John and Mary E. Shaw were living in Cascade, according to the census.

Stephenson, Pulaski (b: 1846*)

Not only was Mary E. Shaw, daughter of William and Mary (Alexander) Young a witness at Caroline (Young) Squier's marriage, she was Caroline's sister.  There she was on Caroline's marriage record, hiding in plain sight.

Note: John C. Shaw was a Civil War veteran whose picture and obituary can be found here.

OBITUARY - Ionia Daily Sentinel-Standard, August 20, 1920

The funeral for Mrs. C. A. Squires was held at the residence Wednesday afternoon at 2:30.  It was very largely attended and the floral offerings were many and beautiful, one piece especially needs special mention that sent by the Masonic lodge of Detroit.  The music was furnished by Chandler Haight, who sang, "Beautiful Isle of Somewhere."  The bearers were George Nichols, Ed Spencer, Ed Merriett, W. T. Smith, William B. Van Vliet and Frank Hecox.  Rev. W. K. Spencer officiated and interment was in the family lot at Oak Hill.  Those from out of the city here to attend the funeral were Mrs. Ed Horrigan of Davenport, Ia., C. C. and M. D. Squier of Detroit, Mr. and Mrs. Glenn Squier of Detroit, Donald Squier of Detroit and Mrs. Williams of Grand Rapids.
