It's Treasure Chest Thursday - time to look in my digital image files to see what treasures I can find for my family history and genealogy musings.
The treasure today is the 1880 United States Census record for my White 2nd great-grandfather's family in Killingly town, Windham County, Connecticut:
The Henry A. White household:
The extracted information for the household, with an enumeration date of 18-19 June 1880, is:
* Henry A. White - white, male, age 54, married, a carpenter, born Rhode Island, father born R.I., mother born R.I.
* Almira White - white, female, age 38, wife, married, keeping house, born Massachusetts, father born R.I., mother born R.I.
* Effie G. White - white, female, age 5, daughter, single, born Connecticut, father born R.I., mother born Mass.
* George Winslow - white, male, age 18, step-son, single, works in a cotton mill, born Connecticut, father born R.I., mother born Mass.
The source citation for this document is:
1880 United States Federal Census, Windham County,
Connecticut, Population Schedule, Killingly: Page 605B, dwelling #215, family #296, Henry White
household; digital image, Ancestry.com (http://www.ancestry.com); citing
National Archives Microfilm Publication T9, Roll 110.
There is only two minor errors in this enumeration that I find when comparing to other information:
* Henry A. White was born in about 1824, making him 55 or 56 in 1880.
* Almira (Taft) (Winslow) White was born in Connecticut, not in Massachusetts
This is Henry A. White's second family - his first wife, Amy Oatley, died in 1864, and he married Almira (Taft) Winslow (widow of George Winslow) in 1866. Henry and Almira had two children - a son who died at birth in 1873 and Effie G. White (1874-1900). George Winslow (1862-1928) was the son of George and Almira (Taft) Winslow.
Almira (Taft) (Winslow) White died in 1927, and George Winslow (her son) died in 1928. I wonder if Almira White had the residue of the Henry White family papers, and if she passed them to her son, George Winslow, who died in 1928. I need to research the George Winslow family a bit to see if their are descendants that might have family records that could add to my knowledge base.
