1830s Autograph Album of Catharine Rhodes of Foxborough, Massachusetts


Note of February 23, 2015:  Check the comments section for information a reader has provided on Catharine's parents and maternal grandfather Ezra Carpenter, as noted in the "Carpenter Memorial" by Amos B. Carpenter.

1830s autograph album that belonged to Catharine Rhodes of Foxborough, Massachusetts.  Some records show the family name as Rhoads, but, as you can see, from the front cover, Catharine, or whoever purchased the album for her, used the Rhodes spelling.


The album, published by J. C. Riker of New York in 1883,  measures approximately 7-3/4" x 6" and is missing its back cover and possibly some pages at the end.  It contains the sentiments of 45 of Catharine's relatives and friends, all from Massachusetts and Rhode Island, as far as I could tell.  An alphabetical surname list and an alphabetical list of the signers, together with any personal information they offered, appear at the end of this post.

In addition to the title page, there are five illustrations throughout, only one of them the full-page frontispiece, shown below.


From brief online research, hopefully correct:  [corrections and additions welcome!]

Catharine Rhodes was born March 12, 1816 at Foxborough, Massachusetts, the daughter Stephen Rhodes and his second wife Martha Patty (Carpenter) Rhodes.  Catharine had four full sisters and five half-siblings.  Several of her siblings inscribed pages in her album:
  1. Older half-brother Stephen Rhodes
  2. Older half-sister Susan (Rhodes) Fairbanks, wife of Ira Fairbanks; their daughter Lucretia also inscribed a page.
  3. Younger full sister Martha (Rhodes) Hitchcock; her husband William Robinson Hitchcock also inscribed a page.
  4. Younger full sister Maria Rhodes.
On May 16, 1839 at Foxborough, Massachusetts, Catharine Rhodes married William Phillips Payson, son of Phillips and Abigail (Clark) Payson.  William was born at Foxborough, Massachusetts, on October 16, 1810.  The new couple settled at Foxborough, Massachusetts and had 3 daughters:
  1. Harriet Alice Payson, born March 31, 1840 at Foxborough, Massachusetts; married Thomas Burgess Bourne
  2. Martha Carpenter Payson, born August 29, 1846 at Foxborough, Massachusetts
  3. Annie Louse Payson, born July 31, 1855 at Foxborough, Massachusetts.
At some point, Martha and Annie found their mother's album and added their names to it.



William Phillips Payson died in 1895 and Catharine (Rhodes) Payson in 1906.   If you have corrections and/or additions to the information above, or information on any of the signers listed below, please leave a comment or contact me directly.

I'm including the images below in the hope that a reader can decipher the name of the inscribers based on the album's context.  The four images consist of two 2-page sentiments, the first from someone at Providence, Rhode Island, and the second with no residence or place of inscription given.

1850-1868 Autograph Album of Lois Lewellyn Meriam of Winchendon, Massachusetts


1850-1868 autograph album that belonged to Lois Lewellyn Meriam of Winchendon, Massachusetts, before and after her 1851 marriage to Elbridge Nelson Harris.


The album, published by J. C. Riker of 129 Fulton Street, New York, measures approximately 7-3/4" x 6" and contains the sentiments of over 20 of Lois Lewellyn (Meriam) Harris' relatives and friends.  An alphabetical surname list and an alphabetical list of the signers, together with any personal information they offered, appears at the end of this post.

The album also contains six small hand-colored floral, fruit and bird designs at the tops of pages that are meant for inscriptions.

From brief online research, hopefully correct:  [corrections and additions welcome!]

Lois Lewellyn Meriam was born August 6, 1828 at Princeton, Massachusetts, the daughter of Joseph and Ruth (Harrington) Meriam.  Many of the pages are inscribed to "Lewellyn", so that is apparently the name she chose to go by.

Lewellyn had nine siblings, I believe, but several of them died young.  Several siblings inscribed pages in the album; see the list of signers below.  One was sister Mary Maria (Meriam) Wyman, whose page also illustrates one of the hand-colored designs.  Mary's husband was William H. Wyman; their daughters Nellie and Emma also inscribed pages in the album.


On March 19, 1851, Lewellyn married Elbridge Nelson Harris, son of William Harris, Jr., and Hepsibeth (Flint) Harris.  The N. E. Harris and E. Nelson who inscribed pages in Lewellyn's album were presumably her husband Elbridge Nelson Harris.  One of the sentiments, a two-page sentiment, he entered two dates, one, 1850, before their marriage, and another, 1855, after.




After their marriage, Elbridge Nelson and Lewellyn lived in Athol, Massachusetts; Lawrence, Massachusetts; and Malden, Massachusetts.  They had, I believe, three children:
  1. Nelson Elvirous Harris, born January 19, 1852, at Athol, Massachusetts
  2. William Orlando Harris, born May 19, 1855, at Athol, Massachusetts
  3. Bertha Adele Harris, born September 27, 1863 at Athol, Massachusetts
Elbridge Nason Harris died in 1906, and Lois Lewellyn (Meriam) Harris in 1924.

1858-1863 Autograph Album that Belonged to Amanda A. Higgins of Bangor, Maine, and Gray, Maine


1858-1863 autograph album that belonged to Amanda A. Higgins of Bangor, Maine, and Gray, Maine.  She married Thomas Low Libbey of Gray, Maine, in 1866.

The album is in rough shape, mostly unbound, and may be missing a few pages, including any ownership or title pages.  It measures approximately 7-3/4" x 6" and contains the sentiments of about 40 of Amanda's relatives, friends and, possibly, teacher, assuming that Amanda attended Girls' High School at Bangor, Maine, where Roger Strong Howard was then principal.


An alphabetical surname list and an alphabetical list of the signers, together with any personal information they offered, appear at the end of this post.  Photographs are affixed to three pages. Many of the signers were related by blood or marriage to Amanda or to her husband Thomas Low Libbey, or both.

From brief online research, hopefully correct:  [corrections and additions welcome!]

Amanda A. Higgins was born April 11, 1841 at Bangor, Maine, the daughter of Arthur M. Higgins and Catherine L. (Fogg) Higgins.   Arthur died in 1849.  In March of 1858 Catherine married Jonas Doughty and moved to Auburn, Maine, and then to Gray, Maine.  Jonas, a widower, had previously been married to Susan (Fogg) Doughty, perhaps a sister to Catherine.

Among the relatives to inscribe pages were Amanda's paternal uncle and his wife, Jefferson Higgins and Elizabeth R. (Emery), "Lizzie".  Lizzie used the name "Lizzie Jefferson" but perhaps Amanda had more than one Aunt Lizzie, and this was a way to distinguish which aunt she was.



The Cousin Laura who inscribed page on February 12, 1860 was presumably Laura S. Higgins, daughter of Jefferson and Elizabeth R. (Emery) Higgins.  I haven't been able to decipher the place where she inscribed the page and would be grateful for any readers' interpretations.  It was likely, but not necessarily, at Bangor, Maine.



The 1860 Census found Amanda living at Gray, Maine, in another Doughty household, that of Charles Huntington Doughty and wife Emily Jane S. (Furbish) Doughty.  It was presumably their son Charles Huntington Doughty, Jr.,who left a sentiment for his "dear Sister".  The reference might have been due to the fact that they were living in the same household, or perhaps there was another relationship I missed.


On September 9, 1866, according to the "The Libby Family in America: 1602-1881", Amanda A. Higgins became the second wife of Thomas Low Libbey, son of James and Mehitable (Low) Libbey.  Thomas' previous wife Sarah M. W. (Oakes) Libbey had died in 1857.  Thomas and Amanda farmed at Gray, Maine, and had two children, daughter Katie Libbey, born April 10, 1868, and son Wilbert Thomas Libbey, born October 28, 1870.

Thomas died in 1901 and Amanda in 1918.

One of the pages with a photograph was that inscribed by composer Solon Wilder at Bangor, Maine, in March 1858.  Solon, a chorister with the Congregational Church on French Street, published a book of hymns in 1874.  In 1888 he and his family moved to Boston where he took a position with the Conservatory of Music.


If you have corrections and/or additions to the information above, or information on any of the signers listed below, please leave a comment or contact me directly.  Many of the signers were related, either by blood or marriage, to Amanda and/or Thomas and/or each other.

1869-1874 Autograph Album of Olive Amelia (Scott) Ingalls of Quebec, Massachusetts and Maine


1869-1874 autograph album that belonged to Olive Amelia Scott of Scottsmore, Dunham, Quebec, who moved to Massachusetts, where she married Owen Burnham Ingalls of Bridgton, Maine.  Many of the signers had an association, either as patient or staff, at McLean Asylum at Somerville, Massachusetts, now known as McLean Hospital and located at Belmont,  Massachusetts.

It's likely that a few pages, perhaps just limited to the end papers, are missing, including a title page and any page that Olive herself might have inscribed.  The first page of text is the page inscribed by Olive's mother, Drusilla (Pettes) Scott, on May 28, 1872 [not sure of last digit] at Woonsocket, Rhode Island, after Olive's 1870 marriage to Owen Burnham Ingalls.


The album measures approximately 8" x 5-1/4" and contains the sentiments of about 74 of Olive's relatives and friends.  As noted above, many of the signers were associated with McLean Hospital, either as staff or patients.  An alphabetical surname list and an alphabetical list of the signers, together with any personal information they offered, appear at the end of this post.

From brief online research, hopefully correct:  [corrections and additions welcome!]

Olive Amelia Scott was born August 23, 1844 at Dunham, Quebec, the daughter of Jedediah and Drusilla (Pettes) Scott, Dunham, Quebec natives.  At least 3 of Olive's siblings inscribed pages in her album, and there may have been more:
  1. Harriet Drusilla (Scott) Shufelt
  2. Narcissa Lavina Scott
  3. Egbert Linton Scott
  4. One or both of the Anna Scotts who inscribed a page may have been Olive's sister Anna Catherine Scott
Other relatives and in-laws inscribed pages; refer to the list of signers below.

Entries in Olive's autograph album show she was in Massachusetts, at least as early as 1869, presumably either working at McLean Hospital or a patient there.

On January 3, 1870, either at Blackstone, Massachusetts, or Somerville, Massachusetts, Olive married Owen Burnham Ingalls, son of Joseph Lindsay Ingalls and Amanda (Church or Hale) Ingalls.  Owen was born November 4, 1844 at Bridgton, Maine.

Olive and Owen perhaps first met at McLean Hospital, where Owen left a sentiment in Olive's album on March 14, 1869 and gave his residence as North Bridgton, Maine.


Owen may have come initially to Somerville because his sister, Julia Amanda (Ingalls) Record was living there with her husband, Horace Record, both of whom inscribed pages in Olive's album.

The 1870 Census of Blackstone, Massachusetts, shows Owen as a machinist and Olive as working in a cotton mill.  By 1875, they were living at Woonsocket, Rhode Island, with son Linton Pettes Ingalls, who was born May 24, 1872.  By 1880 Owen and Olive were living on the home farm at Bridgton, Maine, or North Bridgton, with Linton and daughter Stella Ethel Ingalls, who was born October 21, 1876.

Sadly Olive died at Bridgton, Maine, on November 21, 1882.  I found records showing her buried at Forest Hill Cemetery at Bridgton, Maine, and at Scottsmore Cemetery at Dunham, Quebec, where she's listed on the stone of her parents, but perhaps isn't buried there.

About 1886, Owen married Elizabeth Staley, who was born at Leeds, England, on August 24, 1867. They had a daughter Edna Gertrude Ingalls, born October 15, 1887.  Owen died in 1925 at Bridgton, Maine.

If you have corrections and/or additions to the information above, or information on any of the signers listed below, please leave a comment or contact me directly.

One inscriber was McLean Asylum supervisor Elbridge Smith Upham of Saugus, Massachusetts, who left a sentiment on March 13, 1869.

1859-1862 Autograph Album of Lucius Judson of Guilderland, New York; student at Fort Edward Collegiate Institute


1859-1862 autograph album of Lucius Judson of Guilderland, New York, with autographs collected while he was a student at Fort Edward Collegiate Institute at Fort Edward, New York.   As you can see on the ownership page below, the name J. H. Lansley appears in the lower right corner; perhaps it was he who gave the album to Lucius.  J. H. Lansley inscribed a page later on in the album as well.



The album, printed by Hayes and Zell of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, measures approximately 7-1/2" x 5-1/4" x 1" and contains the sentiments of over 100 of Lucius' friends, instructors and schoolmates at Fort Edward Collegiate Institute, nine of whom affixed photographs to the pages they inscribed.

An alphabetical surname list and an alphabetical list of the signers, together with any personal information they offered, appear at the end of this post.

The Old Fort House Museum, operated by the Fort Edward Historical Society, has Fort Edward Collegiate Institute catalogs for the years during Lucius' attendance, in case you recognize a name from the list below and would like to have a copy of that page.  My thanks to them for identifying two of the signers as the Principal and a teacher at the Institute.

Joseph E. King, Principal of the Fort Edward Collegiate Institute, inscribed a page at the Institute on February 19, 1859.


From brief online research, hopefully correct:  [corrections and additions welcome!]

Lucius Judson was born at Albany, New York, on July 4, 1843, the son of Albert C. Judson and Mary C. (Hotchkiss) Judson.  After leaving Fort Edward Collegiate Institute, Lucius studied law, as indicated in an 1864 Albany, New York, city directory, which lists Lucius as a law student there.

Lucius apparently found his way to Missouri, by 1873, where he married Mary Adalaide (Love) on June 24, 1873.  Mary was born February 2, 1854 at Goodwater, Missouri, the daughter of William Robert Love and Sarah Priscilla (Laramore) Love.  They had four children:
  1. Jessie Louise Judson (1874-1954); married Lewis N. Coffman
  2. William Robert Judson (1877-1941); 
  3. Maude Lorraine Judson (1880-1923)
  4. Margaret Katherine Judson (1885-1966); married Herbert Arthur Young
Lucius was an attorney and prosecutor at Salem, Missouri.  The Judson home is part of Salem's Historical Walking Tour, which has photographs of Lucius and Mary and their home.

As an example of one of the students who affixed a photograph:

Irving W. Tourtellett of Milford, Massachusetts, inscribed a page at Fort Edward Collegiate Institute on June 26, 1862.  I found records of him online that had his surname variously as Tourtellott and Tourtellotte.
