Susana Vose

Notes:

WAKEFIELD SUSAN (VOSE) 1799c - 13 APR 1882 CU009

The only Susan Wakefield I can find in the censuses is at Augusta, Kennebec Co., ME, married to John Wakefield. In 1870 they are at Clinton, Kennebec Co., ME. There's a notation on the census that says she is blind. In 1880 she appears to be a the widow age 86 in Hopkington, MA, living with Clara Wakefield, 12. The age and birthplace (Maine) are correct. It could be that after her husband died, she had to move in with someone else to help her. MA death records show that she died at Worcester, of dementia. It doesn't name her parents, but gives her birthplace as Cumberland. Apparently, whoever was the informant at the time of her death did not know where she was born or the names of her parents. They did remember she had lived in Cumberland.

I have made an assumption that the Susana mentioned as a daughter in Jeremiah's pension file is Susan (Vose) Wakefield whose grave is in the same cemetery. The age and location agree.
