1. HENRY3 GRASS (JACOB2, JOHANN GEORG1)  was born 1801 in Parish of Maugerville,Sunbury Co,NB,Can. He married (1) SARAH ANN ? Bef. 1824. She was born 1807 in NB,Can, and died Aft. 1880. He married (2) HESTER GOLDEN Bef. 1836. She was born 1804 in USA.

Notes for HENRY GRASS:

???Are Henry and Edward twins-both born 1801

1851 Census Lincoln Parish---

Henry b:1801BA age 50,

Hester b:1804, wife, Amn age 47 (arrived in Canada Nov 1837),

Daniel b:1836 age 15, son born NB

Hannah b:1837 age 14, Dau born NB

Lucretia b:1840 age 11, Dau born NB

Jemima b:1841 age 10, Dau born NB

Naomi b:1847 age 4, Dau born NB

Looks like Henry had a 1st wife---Daniel born 1836 & Hannah born 1837

R Whitmore says Sarah Ann ? is 1st wife need some proof ????? Makes sense with Hester arriving after birth of Daniel and possibly Hannah. Are Lucinda & Jemima also part of first wife's family??? There are six years between the last two children.

Separate record also list a wife named Sarah Ann

Notes for SARAH ANN ?:

Is Sarah Ann the mother of Daniel and possibly Hannah because Hester did not arrive until Nov of 1837???????? Sarah Ann info from R Whitmore

NEED MORE INFO  ON THIS LINE OF THE GRASS FAMILY--NAOMI HAS TWO POSSIBLE HUSBANDS m:1864 OR M:1865.

My line is getting too big to break down into individual families so I now have them set up in Family Groups.  Starting with Jacobs Children.
