Elizabeth "Eliza" Blaisdell
- Born: 8 Apr 1778, Hampton Falls, Rockingham County, New Hampshire
- Marriage (1): Enoch Straw on 14 Mar 1797 in Madbury, NH
- Died: 22 Jan 1871, Newfield, York County, Maine at age 92
- Buried: Pleasant Hill Cemetery - Newfield, Maine
General Notes:
She was daughter of William Blaisdell and Abigail Wallis and she was living in Hampton Falls, NH at the time of her wedding. She died at 92 yrs of age. DOD POD per headstone. Name on stone is "Eliza". Research of Newfield, ME records: aka "Betsey" per 1850 census of Newfield, ME she is living in the household of her son Gideon and his wife Lucy (Staples) and is ae 72.
per S. Phaneuf census 1860 John Staples [33], wife Isabella [31], sons John H [12] and Willie [5] were living with Lydia Smith [69] and Betsey Straw [82]. Now a John Staples of Newfield did marry an Isabella Smith in 1846, so I am going to assume that Lydia Smith is her mother; who was her father? Now, why is old Betsy Blaisdell Straw living w/these folks? Could Lydia Smith have been Lydia Straw or Lydia Blaisdell? Was Lucy Staples John's aunt? By 1870, 68 year old Gideon is living with the John Staples family, along with 93 year old Betsey Straw and an 8 year old Annie Straw [who does she belong to? Obviously [maybe?] a granddaughter].
