Working familes from SOMERTON; Frances Laver daughter of Edward Laver(butcher) and Amelia Barnard ; Edward son of Elias James Laver .
Amelia BARNARD dau of THomas Barnard and Amelia FRAMPTON. Amelia's parents left England to come to America with all their sons; Thomas died enroute on board ship...and Amelia brought the children to Illinois to befriend Abraham Lincoln.
Amelia Barnard who married Edward Laver were eventually left in Somerset County to live life alone as all their children came to Canada or New York and her family left for the states...ELOPEMENT was a generational thing with these families; parents didn't approve who they loved so they would elope and move away...strange. Anyone know of these families?
Pictures?
Thankyou,
