Married3070 1865 Aug 63070 at Corning, NY3070.
The wedding announcement3070 for Nancy A Veazie and Damon H Richards states they were married on the "6th inst." (Aug 1865) in Corning by Rev. R. Hogoboom.
The Richards apparently emigrated from England some time after 1828 as Damon's parents were both born in England as was his brother Robert W Richards who born abt 1828. Prior to his marriage, Damon apparently lived with his parents.
His obituary3069 lists his parents as Mr and Mrs Robert Richards, daughter Jennie Cook, son Edward J Richards of Caton, brother George Richards of Caton, sister Mrs Therista Gordon of Corning, and Mrs Lucietia Canfield of Waneta, Erie County, Pennsylvania; and nephew Herbert R Starner of Corning.
In 1850, Nancy is living with her mother. In 1860, following her mother's death, Nancy is living with her uncle, William T Folsom. In 1865, she has emigrated to New York, and is listed as "niece" in the household of her aunt, Sarah C Folsom Veazie. In 1870, Nancy Richards, age 28, born Maine, appears as the apparent wife of Damond[sic] Richards with children Edward and Jennie. Nancy's marriage to Damon is by inference. A legal notice in the Binghamton Press106 mentions "Jennie Richards Houlden," grand-daughter of Louisa Veazie, and Clarence Richards, great-grandchild of Louisa Veazie. The cited census records identify Nancy A Richards with the proper birthdate, child Jennie Louise and grandson Clarence Richards, the son of Nancy's son Edward.
Nancy's precise birthday is indicated by a birthday announcement3068, Wed., Sep 21, 1904: "..relatives of Mrs Damon Richards gave her a very pleasant surprise Saturday, it being her sixty-third birthday."
