Seeking information about Charles William Barnum (1851-?) and his wife Mary Nichols (1855-?)of Lime Rock, Salisbury, Litchfield, CT. I know Charles' parents were William Henry Barnum (1818-1889) and Charlotte Anne Burrall (1819-1889). My interest in this family is because of Charles William's wife Mary Nichols. Mary was the daughter of George Huntington Nichols/Nicholls (1818-1902) and Julia Louisa Phelps (1818-1892) George Huntington Nichol(l)s was a younger brother of my maternal 3rd great grandmother Ann Eliza Johnson nee Nichols (1813-1894) and author of a Nicholls and related families genealogy. I have visited the George Huntington Nichols family plot in Hoosick Falls, NY. I am looking for information on when William Henry and Mary Nichols Barnum died and where they might be buried. Mary Nichols Barnum likely died between 1910 and 1920 in Lime Rock. Charles William likely died after 1920 in Lime Rock. I stopped yesterday at the cemetery in Limerock and found the grave of Charles William and Mary's infant child,who lived for only three days in May 1882, buried in the William Henry Barnum (WHB) family plot. One side of the WHB monument was very hard to read, so it is possible Charles William and Mary might also be buried here though I think the monument has another son of William Henry, William Milo, noted on the side of the monument I had trouble reading. Any assistance on Charles William and Mary Nichols Barnum will be appreciated.
