• Notes

  My grandmother Madesse Ames did not know her grandfather’s name was Hamilton Ames; but she did know that her grandmother’s maiden name was Jane Arno. She also said that her Ames roots were Pennsylvania Dutch. In the 1880 U.S. Census for Edgar Ames, it lists Edgar’s father’s birthplace as Pennsylvania. There are a couple of other records that list his birthplace as Vermont. Hamilton Eames (misspelled) married Jane Arno in 1858. Hamilton E. “Aymes” (misspelled) born in 1828 in Pennsylvania – lists his father as Alvin Ames and his mother as Patsy (no surname). Since one of Hamilton’s son’s name is “Alvin” I believe this is the right one. I also located a Will & Probate Court document for the estate of Hamilton E. Ames and Jane Ames after Hamilton’s death. There is also some history of the early settlers of the Milburn/Wadsworth areas – historicmilburn.org – and this site provided more information about Hamilton’s father, Alvin and wife Patricia/Patsy. This website allowed filled me in on Jonathan Carver Ames, and from there Ancestry.com was able to provide more information.
