Notes - From Dad Remington: "You perhaps remember our mention of our Cousin Ida Abbey of Mankato, Minnesota. She was first cousin of my grandmother Chafee, because her mother was a sister of Grandma's father . . . Ida's mother, who had been widowed, operated a boarding house, and eventually married one of the boarders."
In the 1860 census, the family is in Attleboro as follows: Ann Farrar 35 England, Edward A. 5 RI, Charles E. 3 MA, and Herbert A. 1 MA. See notes for William, the 1865 MA State Census.
I can't find any of the family members in 1870.
Anna Abbey is in the 1880 Federal Census, age 56, living at Belgrade, Nicollet Co., MN. Her three children are with her: Edwin 25 RI, Charley 23 MA, and Ida 14 MA.
In 1885 Ann is age 62, still living in Belgrade, Nicollet, MN (Mankato Post Office); with her are Edwin A. Farrar 30 RI, Charles E. Farrar 28 MA, and Ida M. Abbey 19 MA.
in 1900, Ann Abbey is age 75, still living in North Mankato Village, Belgrade Township, MN, with her children Edwin A. Farrar 46 and Ida M. Abby 34.
I looks as if Ann and her second husband William parted ways; she went to MN while he stayed in New England. There are other men named William Abbey/Abby in he records, and I may have some of the info incorrect, but I don't think so.
I have a likely fourth marriage for William, to Matilda Wardle, as there's a daughter Emma Frances (Abby) Newell in the death records, also mentioned as half-sister to Elizabeth (Abby) Hall as informant in her death record. I am not sure if these were all official marriages.
