Amy Johnson Crow suggested a weekly blog theme of "52 Ancestors" in her blog post Challenge: 52 Ancestors in 52 Weeks on the No Story Too Small blog. Here is my ancestor biography for week #16:
I am descended through:
* their daughter, #11 Julia E. White, who married in 1868 #10 Thomas Richmond (1948-1917).
* their daughter, #5 Alma Bessie Richmond (1882-1962) who married in 1900 #4 Frederick Walton Seaver (1876-1942);
* their son, #2 Frederick Walton Seaver (1911-1983), who married in 1942 Betty Virginia Carringer (1919-2002);
* their son, #1 Randall J. Seaver (1943-....)
To create this post, I made an Individual Summary report in RootsMagic 6, then saved it into an RTF file. I then copied and pasted the Person, the Individual Fact List, the Marriages/Children, the General Notes, and the Source Citations into this blog post. Unfortunately, the source citations superscripts did not survive this process as superscripts, so I put them in brackets in the Individual Facts list below, and without brackets in the Source Citation list. I have images of many of these records, but have not included them in this blog post due to the length of the post. Many of them have been transcribed or shown in Amanuensis Monday and Treasure Chest Thursday posts.

Amy Frances Oatley was born in 1826, in South Kingstown, Washington County, Rhode Island, to Jonathan and Amy (Champlin) Oatley [3]. The Oatley family moved to Killingly, Windham County, Connecticut between 1830 and 1840.
Amy married Henry Arnold White on 30 June 1844 in Thompson, Windham County, Connecticut [7]. The entry in the Thompson section of the Barbour Collection says:
"Oatley, Amy F., m. Henry A. WHITE, b. of Killingly, June 30, 1844, by Rev. L. Geo[rge] Leonard"
Henry and Amy (Oatley) White had six children, four of whom lived past childhood and married and had families.
In the 1850 US Census, this family resided in Killingly township, Windham County, Connecticut). The family included [4]:
* Henry White -- age 26, male, a weaver, born Glocester RI
* Amy White -- age 24, female, born S. Kingston RI
* Ellen F. White -- age 5, female, born Killingly CT, attended school
* Julia E. White -- age 3, female, born Killingly CT
* Emily E. White -- age 1, female, born Killingly CT.
In the 1860 US Census, the Henry A. White family resided in Killingly township, Windham County, Connecticut. The household included [5]:
* Henry A. White -- age 35, male, manufacturer, $1000 in real property, born CT
* Amy F. White -- age 33, female, born CT
* Ellen F. White -- age 15, female, born CT
* Juliette White --age 13, female, born CT
* Emily A. White -- age 12, female, born CT
* Henry J. White -- age 7, male, born CT, attended school
* Fred J. White -- age 1 month, born CT
The Connecticut Deaths and Burials Index indicates that Amy Frances White died 12 November 1864 at age 36 [6]. It is very likely that she died at her home in Killingly.
She is probably interred in Bartlett #1 Cemetery in East Killingly, Connecticut. There is a stone next to Henry A. White's stone that is now unreadable.
