- Birth record:
Massachusetts Vital Records to 1850:
Danvers Births:
Harwood, Louisa, d. John and Nancy (Leslie), at Haverhill, Feb. 18, 1824.
[How do I confirm that the above is the correct Louisa Harwood?]
1850 Census: Massachusetts: Middlesex: South Reading:
Reuben Emerson, 77, male, orthodox clergy, $800, born in Mass.;
Catharine Emerson, 50, female, born in Mass.;
Louisa Howard [sic], 17, female, born in Mass.
[NOTE: believe that this is the correct individual, given location in S. Reading]
At the time of marriage, lived in S. Reading, Massachusetts. [Need to get this source better cited]
At the time of the 1880 census, a Louisa M. Lowell, age 35, is living with her cousin, Joshua B. Lowell, as a widowed boarder, in Chesterville, Franklin, Maine. This Louise was born in Massachusetts, and her father and mother were born in Massachusetts. [Given family connection, this Louisa M. Lowell can safely be considered the “wife” for Hiram. This, however, would yield a birthyear of 1845.]
