• Notes

  This is a sad story. I used to have a newspaper article about Lewis' release from prison abt 1890 for the rape of Amina York. Given Leonard's name, I think they probably did get married, but never lived together. Leonard's birth is recorded in Michigan Births 1867-1901 on familysearch.org, pilot search Lemmy Soddy b 20 Sep 1880 Mcbrides, Montcalm, Mi dau of Lewis Soddy and Amina Soddy b NY; Film 2320573 item 1 p 164 #503 (Indexed: Soddy) This is from Earl F. Sawdey's research that I got from Jeff Sawdey: Handwritten information sheets - no date (motheaten) A)Lewis Eugene Sawdey, son of Sidney Sawdey and Cintha Sawdey Sawdey Md Helen Smith.

Back: [Almina Mariah Yo]rk was Warren Saw[dey's] (son of Valentine's) wife's sister. Notes by Jamie S. Kay 2009 1) Discrepancy in birth year between these two records; headstone says 1862 2) The Kidder children were by Daniel's earlier wives. 3) No evidence in census records of this marriage; Amina died as a Kidder
