Phineas W. "P. W." Abbey

Phineas Abbey was one of Lurenda's brothers, born shortly after 1800. He most likely grew up in Port Hope with the rest of his siblings and sometime after starting his family, between 1833 and 1839, he moved to New York. From his letters we know his wife was named Elizabeth and he had several daughters: Abbie, Jane "Jenny", Pauline "Polly" and son, Ephraim. It's possible P.W. had a couple of other daughters and at least two sons, but their names are unknown.

He lost touch with his family sometime after moving to New York and was reconnected with them in 1856. He continued to stay in touch with them and visited Canada a few times. P.W. moved a couple times within New York before settling in Columbus, Pennsylvania, where he farmed 26 acres of land. His death is unknown, but he was alive in 1885.

Here is a suggested edit:

Phineas Winters "P. W." Abbey

Phineas Winters Abbey was one of Lurenda's brothers, born about 1802 in Haldimand Twp., Northumberland Co., Upper Canada. He most likely grew up in Port Hope with the rest of his siblings and sometime after his marriage about 1834 in Port Hope, Durham Co., Upper Canada, to Elizabeth (Fancher) Altenburg, the widow of Daniel David Altenburg, he moved to New York. He had three step-sons, five step-daughters, and one daughter, Pauline Lorinda "Polly" Abbey, who was born September, 1836, probably in Ellicott, Chautauqua Co., NY.

He lost touch with his Abbey and Henry families sometime after moving to New York, and was reconnected with them in 1856. He continued to communicate with them, and visited Canada a few times. P. W. moved a couple of times within New York before settling in Columbus Twp., Warren Co., PA , where he farmed 26 acres of land. His death is unknown, but he was alive in 1885.


Pauline Lorinda "Polly" Abbey

Pauline "Polly" Abbey was born in 1833, in Canada, to Phineas and Elizabeth Abbey. Growing up in the United States, she never met her family in Canada, however, she eventually reconnected with Thomas and Lurenda. All of Polly's letters are from the same year, 1856, giving us a glimpse of her life. She had a hard start in life, being sick constantly until the age of 10 when she was finally well enough to go to school. She attended Randolph Academy and Ladies' Seminary for approximately four years before becoming a teacher. Polly had the chance to visit Canada to meet her uncles, aunts, cousins and grandmother.

After 1856, there is no record of Polly. She most likely got married and had children of her own as one of her letters references Pauline's little Eddy.

Here is a suggested edit:

Pauline Lorinda "Polly" Abbey

Pauline Lorinda "Polly" Abbey was born September, 1836, probably in Ellicott, Chautauqua Co., NY, to Phineas W. "P. W." Abbey and Elizabeth (Fancher) Altenburg. Growing up in the United States, she never met her family in Canada, however, she eventually reconnected with Thomas Henry and Lurenda (Abbey) Henry. All of Polly's letters are from the same year, 1856, giving us a glimpse of her life.

Edson Scott Fancher and Pauline Lorinda "Polly" (Abbey) Fancher had two children, both born in Edson Scott Fancher Jr., and Edison Ebbin "Eddie" Fancher, both born in Gordon Twp., Todd Co., MN.

After the 1875 Minnesota State Census for Gordon Twp., Todd Co., Minnesota Territory, there is no record of Polly. She probably died 1876, in Sherman, Grayson Co., TX, at about age 40.

But thinking about the Altenburg children... 

When Daniel died the children were: 

Jonathan William Altenburg: Born June 14, 1815, in Fort Plain, Minden Twp., Montgomery Co., NY - age 17

Ephraim Fancher Altenburg: Born 1818, in New York - age 15

Mary Ann Altenburg: Born June 10, 1821 - age 11, if she was living

Margaret M. Altenburg: Born March 28, 1823, in Port Hope, Durham Co., Upper Canada- age 9

George Altenburg: Born September 11, 1825, in Canada - age 7

Elizabeth C. Altenburg: Born September, 1827, in Port Hope, Durham Co., Upper Canada - age 5

Sarah Jane Altenburg: Born August 8, 1830, in Canada - age 2

Abigail E. Altenburg: Born June 14, 1832, in Port Hope, Durham Co. - age 2 months

What this suggests is that Margaret, George, Elizabeth, Sarah Jane, and Abigail would more or less have thought of Phineas as their father, and why Sarah Jane (Altenburg) Hall would have the pictures of Phineas and Elizabeth in her photo album.

MARRIED IN LIFE'S SUNSET.

(Fort Dodge Messenger.)

As the shadows are beginning to fall over his life, Spencer Woodworth, of this city, has gone back to New York state, and has picked up the broken threads of a romance which had been broken off over forth years since. The news has just reached the city of his marriage, far away in the east, to a woman, bent and wrinkled now with age, who was his schoolmate in the happy days of long ago. Mr. Woodworth is 70 years of age, and his bride is 69, but the affection which sprung up when they were children together has outlasted the passage of all the years, and has brought them together in the sunset of their lives. Both of the parties to this strange marriage have been married once, but death has left them free to again enter upon the wedded life. Mr. Woodworth is one of Fort Dodge's well-known citizens. He has made his home here for forty years, and during that time has amasses a competency, having recently come into the possession of a large amount of money by the sale of gypsum land to the Carbon Plaster Company. He is counted a man of considerable means. Mr. Woodworth has been making his home with his daughter, east of Fort Dodge, but has a home in the city where he and his bride will doubtless make their home when they return here. When that time will be is not certainly known.


Spencer L. Woodworth died April 29, 1902, in Binghamton, Broome Co., NY, at age 70. Buried in Oakland Cemetery, Fort Dodge, Webster Co., IA.
