ARNETT, CARTER, FIDLER, JELLEY, POLLET, POLLIT, TAYLOR
Anna CARTER was given up by her father in 1863 to be raised by her mother's brother, William TAYLOR Jr. Because of this, I believe she was always known as Anna Taylor. She was shuffled around and it's been hard trying to figure out where she went and when. In 1876 I think she was near Oran, under Hugh JELLEY's guardianship. In 1882 it was said that she was in Leipic. She married a Daniel L. FIDLER abt. 1882 but I don't know where. After her divorce abt. 1902 she married a Frank ARNETT. He died 1922 in Sidney? and was buried in Port Jefferson. Anna went on to marry a William POLLIT/POLLET abt. 1924. He died in Quincy and when Anna died in 1942 she was buried beside the second husband in Port Jefferson, at least I think she was married to him. I'm looking for info.on Anna and if she shows up in any census indexes for 1880-1900-1910-1920 or in any marriage records for 1882 ? and 1900-2. This one's been the hardest. . Denise
