Family of Elias Moore THAYER and Elvira R THAYER

Elias Moore THAYER b. 1823 Dec 312258 at Braintree, MA2258. d. 1903 Feb 112258 at Braintree, MA2258. bd. Braintree, MA2258.
Elvira R THAYER b. 1828~868 at Chalrestown, MA868. d. 1857 Nov 282258 at Braintree, MA2258.

Married944 1848 Oct 1944 at Quincy, MA944. Elias M Thayer married "Miss Elvira R. Thayer, both of Braintree," Oct 1, 1848, in Quincy, MA. Her maiden name Thayer is confirmed by her death record{\2258} which lists her birthplace as Charlestown, and her parents as Melvin & Elvira (without surname). However, Melvin Thayer and Elivra Healey were married886 in Charlestown.

Sprague841 has Elias born Dec 31, 1823 "(not recorded)," apparently estimating that from his age at death. Elias Moore Thayer died2258 Feb 11, 1903, age 79y 1m 11d. That death record also has his residence, death place and burial place as Braintree; his parents are listed as Elisha Thayer and Susan Veazie.

Elias Moore Thayer, son of Elisha, was baptized859 Jun 13, 1824.

Note: Thayer4822 has Elias M, son of Elisha and Susannah (Veasey) Thayer born 1813, which is clearly incorrect.

In 1850, Elias M Thayer and Eliva R resided868 next door to Elias' father, Elisha Thayer. Elias was listed as a bootmaker. In 1860, Elias resided869 with his sister Susan Denton, Daniel Denton and his sister Clarrisa Thayer. He was a station agent.

At the time of this 1864 marriage2016 to Ellen Richards, he was a station agent.

Elvira's death record2258 lists her parents as Melvin and Elvira, without surname indicated.

Elvira Thayer died2258 in Braintree, MA, of consumption at the age of 29. Although Sprague944 has her death on the same date, but in Quincy. The handwritten town records2258 are preferred. Note that Sprague's Braintree genealogies841 has her death Nov 18, likely a typographical error.
