This helps make more sence of William Sutton's wives. He married Emma Miller April 22, 1877 in Stockton and she died 5/5/1878. He then married Emma Smith widow of unknown Austin. She had two children from her previous marriage Minnie Austin and Willie Austin. I wish I could find out the name of her first husband. I believe Emma died in Rochester at the home of her daughter Evelyn Sutton Ramsdall the wife of Charles Pitt Ramsdale. I wonder who Emma's parents were. Minnie Austin married Archie Sprague March 17, 1897 at Burnhams (now Cassadaga). They had three children Lucille Eloise Sprague 1898, Benjamin M. Sprague 1902 and Margaret Rosina Sprague 1907. Archie Sprague grandmother was Elizabeth (Ames) Rice. William Sutton was about 40 when he married the two Emma's. Makes me wonder if he had a another wife before he married them.

Wondeful holiday present, thank you.

I'd love to know the sources for the marriage info and other dates you list so I can doggedly explore them for all available information.

Context is a wonderful gift to help the pieces come together. Thanks again,

Emma Smith
Born: about 1853
Family:
Husband: William Dalton Austin
Wife: Emma Smith
Child: Minnie Austin
Married: 28 Dec 1874

SOURCE DOCUMENTATION: Edith Austin Moore, "A Genealogy of the Descendants of Robert Austin of Kingstown, RI"; St. Petersburg, FL, 1951; pp.282

Thank you very much. I see in ancestry.com William Dalton Austin died September 01, 1877 in Waterford, PA. Which fits because Emma claimed she was a widow in the 1880 census. Minnie's brother Willie was born abt. 1878 which fits since he was born after his Father died he was named after his Father.

I have some information about Emma Smith. She is listed as the wife of William Dalton Austin (who descends from the Robert Austin of North Kingstown RI line of Austins) on p. 282 of A Genealogy of the Descendants of Robert Austin of Kingstown, R.I., by Edith Austin Moore.

And in the 1880 Census she is listed as widowed with William Dalton Austin having died on September 1, 1877 in Waterford, Erie, Pennsylvania.

I found an Emma Smith in the 1870 who more than likely matches: She is listed as 15, born in Wisconsin and living with a Soloman (age 42) and Aurelia (?) (age 32) Harvey along with their son Percy (age 7). The relationship is not listed but simply "at school."

To make sure this was the sam Emma Smith, I looked up Soloman Harvey in the 1880 census and sure enough, he had moved to Waterford, Erie, Pennsylvania and was living, as a widower, with his son Percy, age 17.

It is likely that Soloman Harvey's wife (listed as Aurelia or Amasillia) could have been either Emma's sister (thus a Smith) or an aunt.
