Noted as the first lawyer in Earlville, Madison Co., NY in History of

• Married: 07 SEP 1848 in Hamilton, Madison, NY
• Note:

  1854 per Whittemore book and per History of the Town of Peterborough, NH.
  Emma used this date in her DAR application, but it seems an error.
  Sept. 7, 1848 per Torrey book and my own notes from Stella Guest. and in
  Vital Records of Madison Co. record of marriages.
  The marriage had to take place before 1850 since the couple was found in
  the 1850 census as George Wetimore, age 28, lawyer and wife Cleopatra,
  age 22 living in Hamilton, NY together with her brother James L. Fay.
  There is also a woman Cloe B. Piciner? age 33 and her daughter Josephine
  age 2 (servant?)
  The couple is also listed as parents of Ada on her gravestone and Ada
  was born in 1851.
  In 1860 the will of Nathaniel Whittemore names Margaret Cleopatra Fay
  as the wife of his son Joseph P. Whittemore. This is the same year that
  their son James was born so helps establish her as James's mother, rather
  than the second wife, Kate.
