• Notes

  Elizabeth Edwards was born May 4, 1859 in Canada, the daughter of Henry Edwards and Jane Sproul Edwards. According to the Wesleyan Methodist Baptismal Register [Victoria University Archives, Vol. 1, baptisms, 1825-ca. 1860 FHL #1759292, page 488, http://vicu.utoronto.ca/archives/archives.htm], Elizabeth was born in (and the family resided in and the baptism took place in) Eldon, Eldon Twp, Colborne Dist. she was baptised by Rev. D.C. Clappica on July 25. The transcription states the baptism date was 1850-07-25 but that is definately an error as she was born in 1859 (she was listed as 11 in the 1870 census). When Elizabeth was about six, the family moved to New York state. In the 1870 U.S. Census, she lived in the town of Hamburg in Erie County, New York with her parents and brothers, Edward (then 13), and Charles (8). The census reports that she, her brothers, and both parents were born in Canada. Elizabeth married Adelbert Raymond about 1878. Adelbert was a farmer born in New York, December of 1849. Both of his parents were born in New York. In the 1880 U.S. Census taken in Orangeville, Wyoming County, New York*, Elizabeth and Adelbert had two children: Cora, age 2, and Anna, born that year (1880). In the 1900 U.S. Census, Elizabeth reported that she had birthed 8 children and 8 were still living: Cora born 3/1878, Anna born 12/1880, Mary born 9/1881, Arthur born 12/1882, Jennie born 3/1885, Aurea(?) born 4/1888, Bertha born 8/1891, and Edgar born 10/1895. Elizabeth and Adelbert were both still living in 1930.
