Treasure Chest Thursday – Bartlett Chauncy Shackford’s Marriage Record (Blog 456)

October 19, 2017 ~ Joanne Shackford Parkes ~ Leave a comment

In Nov 2015 we could not find a marriage record for Bartlett Chauncey Shackford and Rose Winchester Karnan and wrote a blog about using a source from Bartlett’s College Directory to determine their marriage date. Last week through Randy Seaver’s Oct 2, 2017 post titled “Mining the “Massachusetts State Vital Records, 1841-1920″ Collection on FamilySearch” we discovered that this marriage record for Bartlett had been added to Family Search. From this source we see the names of their parents: Charles Chauncy and Flora A (Wood) Shackford and Robert W and Harriet (Winchester) Karnan. We also learn where Bartlett and Rose lived at the time of their marriage, learn that they were married at her house at 48 Birch St, Roslindale, Mass. We also discovered that she was working as a School teacher at the time of their marriage and that he was a physician. Here’s a copy of the marriage Record.

Wedding Wednesday – Charles Chauncy Shackford marries Martha Gould Bartlett Sept 22 1846 (Blog 341)

May 25, 2016July 14, 2017 ~ Joanne Shackford Parkes ~ Leave a comment

Charles Chauncy Shackford, the son of William Moore and Joanna Chauncy (Moore) Shackford was born on September 26, 1815 in Portsmouth, New Hampshire. He attended Harvard and the Theological Seminary at Andover. He was ordained at Hawes Place Church in South Boston on May 1841, married Charlotte Louisa Shackford, his first cousin on June 3, 1841 and soon thereafter moved to Burlington, Iowa where he ran a flour mill, preached, and gave lectures.

The next five years must have been very difficult for Charles. He had attended Harvard with his older brother, William Henry, a well known teacher at Exeter who died of typhoid fever in 1842; Then on October 13, 1845, his wife Charlotte died in Burlington. On April 27, 1846 his flour mill burned and one of his employees died in the fire. And on August 17, 1846 his younger brother Albert Samuel died while traveling from Burlington to Portsmouth.

Charles’ marriage to Martha Gould Bartlett on September 22, 1846 must have been the first happy event over those past dark years. It was announced on September 23d in the Lowell Daily Courier.

Wedding Wednesday – Alice M Shackford marries Edward E Ellis (Blog 335)

March 31, 2016June 20, 2017 ~ Joanne Shackford Parkes ~ 1 Comment

Alice M Shackford, the daughter of Charles Chauncy and Martha Gould (Bartlett) Shackford was born May 28, 1849 in Lynn, Massachusetts. We find her with her parents in Lynn, Boston, and Ithaca, NY in the 1850, 1855, 1860, 1865, 1870, and 1875 census.

On Dec 2 1875, when she was 26, Alice was given in marriage by her father to Edward E Ellis. Her marriage was announced in the Watkin’s Express and Ithaca Daily Journal.

Marriage Alice Shackford to Edward Ellis Ithaca Daily Journal (Ithaca, New York), 3 December 1875 MARRIED.

Yesterday afternoon Miss Alice
Shackford, eldest daughter of the Rev. Prof. C. C. Shackford, of Cornell University, was married to a young gentleman of Boston, Mr. Edward Ellis. The ceremony was performed by the bride’s father, at his residence, in the presence of a few invited friends, consisting of the Professors of the University and
their wives, Dr. and Mrs. Stebbins, and
a few relatives. All the arrangements were beautiful in their simplicity. After receiving the congratulations of their friends, Mr. and Mrs. Ellis started on a short wedding trip which will terminate at Boston, where they will purpose taking up their residence.

Alice and Edward lived with his mother Charlotte in Boston where he worked as a commission merchant and manager of a cotton factory while she raised their twin daughters Kate and Harriet. They moved to Brookline and spent their summers in Gloucester at the corner of Nautilus rd and Bass Rocks. Edward died in 1925 in Gloucester and Alice died in 1932. Edward, Alice and their two daughters who both died in 1955 were buried at Mount Auburn Cemetery in Cambridge.
