Betsey Newton

Dette er ikke ett nytt emne, men jeg har funnet i folketellinga fra Oregon 1930 hvor sønnen David Willet Newton bor, der er det skrevet at Betsey mora kommer fra Scotland, jeg har hele tiden hatt forståelse for at ho var norsk. Kan dette være en blindgate (som mange av andre opplysninger jeg har fått). Hvordan kan jeg finne ut av dette? Takknemlig for hjelp. :D

Hei Magne!

What are you looking for? I am thinking this must be the person you speak of?

The census WITH Betsey on it in 1860 says she was born in Norway. She was living. She died and Thomas remarried before 1870. In the census records with Willet that state she was born in Scotland, Willet did not even know his Mother, if you look at some of the other census records, it also states she was born in Illinois and that he was born in Minnesota and Illinois. Census records are only as good as the person who answers the door and are not primary sources.
