Classification: Query
Surnames: Castle/Dickerson/Knower
According to her death certificate, she was born March 26, 1805; daughter of William Castle (English) and Ann Saxon (French)
Her place her birth is reported as New York state.
She was the second wife of Benjamin Knower of Albany, whom she married June 26, 1836 in NYC. Upon his death in 1839, she vanishes, then appears in censuses 1850 through 1880 as Sophia P. Knower, a resident in the households of Cornelius Dickerson, then Marcena Dickerson of Rockland, N.Y. Her relationship to head of household is "other."
She died Sept. 27, 1886 in Nyack N.Y., Robert Dickerson (or Dickinson!) reporting her death.
Can anyone tell me how she was related to the Dickerson family, or what the name of Cornelius Dickerson's wife was?
The family name is sometimes reported as Dickerman and Dickinson, but I believe Dickerson is the right name.
thanks ...
