    Notes:

    In the 1850 Federal Census, Lorenzo & Mary are living at Spring Township, Crawford Co., PA, with their two young daughtersm, Martha 2 and Louise 4 mos. They are next door to Lorenzo's parents and family.

    In 1860 they are living at LeBoeuf, Erie Co., PA. Listed in the household are: Lorenzo Lippit, 36; Mary 29; Martha A. 11; & Frank N. 2.

    Lorenzo married Mary L. Ross 2 Jan 1848, PA. Mary (daughter of Justice Ross and Amelia S. Morris) was born 30 Sep 1829, NY or PA; died 11 Dec 1908, Cambridge Springs, PA. [Group Sheet]

    Notes:

    In the 1870 Federal Census, Mary is age 41 and living with her second husband, Sylvester Wilder, age 60, in Randolph, Crawford Co., PA. Her son Frank, age 12, is with them. Frank's surname is included in the list as Wilder.

    In 1880 Sylvester & Mary S. Wilder are ages 70 & 50, and are still at Randolph, PA.

    In the 1900 Federal Census, Mrs. Mary Wilder is a widow age 70. The census data says she was born in PA, but her parents were born in NY. All the other censuses have NY as her birthplace. Living with Mary is her granddaughter "Margret G. Lipet" age 6, PA (born Feb 1894). They are at Randolph, Crawford Co., PA.

    Whose daughter is Margaret? She is probably the daughter of Frank F. Lippitt by his first wife, Addie Guy.

    Notes:

    The following information has been provided by a descendant, Richard Allen Brownell, Sr.:

    Daniel Lippitt's family on the 1850 Spring Township, Crawford Co., PA census shows the following: Family #64=Daniel Lippitt 53 m. born 1797 in Rhode Island, Catherine 48 born 1802 in Vermont, Jane 21 born 1829 in NY, Ann M. 18 born 1832 in NY, William 13 born 1837 in NY, Isaac B. 11 born 1839 in NY. Note: William and Isaac similar names to Catherine Burch's family in Otsego. The next family #65=Lorenzo Lippitt 26 born 1824 in NY, Mary (Ross) Lippitt 21born 1829 in PA, Martha L. Lippitt 2 born 1848 in PA, Louise 4/12 born 1849 in PA.

    Daniel married Catherine Burch 27 Sep 1821, Otsego Co., NY. Catherine was born 13 May 1802, VT; died 23 Oct 1875, NH. [Group Sheet]


  2. 13.  Catherine Burch was born 13 May 1802, VT; died 23 Oct 1875, NH.

    Notes:

    The following information is provided by Richard Allen Brownell, Sr.:
    "I believe that Catherine Burch's father was Isaac Burch of the town Hartwick, Otsego Co., NY, and that her grandparents were Rev. William Burch d.13 Nov. 1853, age 92y 5mo 13d, b.31 May 1761, and Sally d.5 Sept. 1846 73y, buried West Burlington Village Cemetery, Town of Burlington, Otsego Co., NY. They were afilliated with the Baptist Church, as was Isaac Burch. Note: William and Isaac were children's names used by Catherine and Daniel."

    The following information is from Kathy Downs Wolff:
    "I notice in your notes for Catherine, you have a reference to an email from Richard Brownell, Sr. who thinks Catherine might be the daughter of Isaac Burch. That's quite logical given that Isaac was 23 years older than her, but it turns out Isaac is really her older brother and the William/Sally couple aren't related to them at all. Catherine's birthday is 13 May 1802 and she died in New Hampshire 23 Oct. 1875."

    My notes:

    In the 1860 Federal Census, "Catharine Lippet" age 58 b VT is living at Spring Twp., Crawford Co., PA. In the household with her are: Ann, 25; Mary, 22; and Ida, 3. Ida is probably the daughter of Isaac (see 1870 census), and Mary may be her mother, Isaac's first wife; but where is Isaac in this census?
