Wonderful Family History
Harriet Louise Withey, Born 26 Sep 1834 Vermont, Died 8 Oct 1910 Grand Rapids, Kent, Michigan, Buried Oak Hill Cemetery, Grand Rapids, Kent, Michigan, Wife of Benjamin Caryl Tracy, Daughter of Solomon Withey B-31 Aug 1787 D- 6 Oct 1851 and Clementine Granger B-1807 D- 20 Mar 1869. Harriet was the Mother of Estelle L. “Stella” Tracy. Solomon had 7 children with Clementine Granger and 7 children with Julia, Clementine’s sister. Solomon and Julia were my 3rd great grandparents so this makes Harriet my Half 2nd Great Great Aunt. Harriet was Judge Solomon Lewis Withey’s Half Sister. Judge Solomon was my 2nd great grandfather. OMG everything is so darn confusing. Photo source- Ancestry clrobert77 shared to Beardsley Ryder family tree. Thank you World!!!!
