Oh, I had such plans for a post today and ended up spinning my wheels on a cousin's wife's maiden name--my 4th great uncle Martin Luther Tibbetts, 1833-1916, married Edwin Dunn's widow, Henrietta. What I know about Henrietta:
born: 23 Feb 1840 Columbia County, New York
died: 26 Apr 1923 likely Watertown, Jefferson, New York
She married Edwin Dunn (1834-1901) in about 1855, possibly in Brooklyn, New York. They had one known child, Clara Viola, who died in 1861 at 5 years old.
Edwin was a Civil War veteran and they both were involved in Minnesota politics in the latter part of the 19th century.
She married M. L. Tibbetts in 1909, and after he died in 1916 she reverted back to the last name Dunn.
Two separate records (NY State 1905 Census and 1920 Federal Census) show her living with the Charles Fairchild and Adeline (Mitchell) Fairchild household. The first was in 1905 in Richfield, Otsego, NY (she was listed as a widowed boarder), and in 1920 in Watertown, Jefferson, NY as a widowed aunt to Charles (or possibly Adeline).
So far I have done some work on the Fairchild's ancestries, but no luck on Henrietta's maiden name yet.
