Lena Richmond Robbins

Lena Richmond 9 (Hiram, 8, Charles, 7, *William, 6, Adam, 5, Stephen, 4, John, 3, Edward, 2, John 1) married Homer Elmer Robbins.  Homer's aunt, Eleanor Lorancy Robbins, married, as his second wife, my great granduncle, John F. More.

*William was the most recent ancestor identified in the Richmond Family book.  The relationships between William and presumed descendants Charles, Hiram and Lena were found online.  Hiram was proven to be Lena's father per the Civil War Widow's Pension File of Lena's mother ( Esther Rodgers Bowers Richmond Chamberlain).  Lena was my 6th cousin 4x removed.

From History of Providence Co., Rhode Island:
George Lewis Gower was born November 6th, 1849, at New Sharon, Maine. His father, Harrison Bartlett Gower, was a Baptist clergyman, and died in 1859, leaving his wife, Maria Susan (Dix), a widow, with three boys, aged respectively nine, seven and five.  George, the eldest of the three, was educated in Abbott's School in Farmington, Maine, in grammar and high school in Providence, R. I., and Brown University, in the class of 1871. He studied law with Samuel Currey of Providence four years, and was admitted to the bar there in December, 1871. He was clerk of the Rhode Island house of representatives from 1876 to 18S6 and judge advocate general of the state from 1883 to 1888. He has been associated with his brother, Fred. A. Gower, in telephone affairs from 1878. He was never extensively engaged in legal practice, but was connected with Providence newspapers from1867 to 1880, and has acquired interests in telephone affairs and other business connections in Rhode Island and in Washington state, and is largely interested in the growth and development of the city of Tacoma, in the latter state. He was married in January, 1873, at Providence, to
Frances, daughter of Hon. J. M. Blake, of Bristol, R. I. They have two children— Hope, born in 1875, and George Lewis, jr., born in 1876.

Her lineage can be found in the Genealogy of the descendants of John White of Wenham and Lancaster, Massachusetts, here.

The Family of Dulcinea L. (Harris) Payne

While researching the Edward A. Richmond family (the son of Ebenezer & Louisa (Gott) Richmond), the following article in the Spokane Spokesman-Review newspaper, dated January 1, 1995, featuring researcher Pam Payne, was found.

The newspaper article focused on Pam's great-great grandmother, Dulcinea L. (Harris) Payne, daughter of Jason & Sarah Lucretia Richmond Harris. Sarah Lucretia was the sister of the aforementioned Edward A. Richmond and is #5282 in the Joshua Richmond Bailey book (on page 474). Pam's family and my Richmond line merge with Ebenezer Richmond's father, Edward.

The article noted that Dulcenia left her husband and son back in New York and moved to Spokane where she opened a business with her son-in-law, Everett Spicer. Lorenzo Payne was enumerated with his son Ambrose in Allegany Co., NY, in 1900 and was listed as a widower. His wife, Dulcina Payne was in Spokane, Washington, in 1900, so Lorenzo was not a widower.

The Payne family was still together and living in Allegany Co., New York when the 1880 Census was taken:
Lorenzo PAYNE Self M W 44 MA Farmer MA MA
Delcina PAYNE Wife M W 38 NY Keeping House NY NY
Effie PAYNE Dau S W 20 NY At Home MA NY

Ambrose B. PAYNE Son S W 13 NY At School MA NY
Cyrus M. PAYNE Son S W 7 NY MA NY
Sena PAYNE Dau S W 3 NY MA NY
Manda PAYNE Dau S W 5M NY MA NY

Dulcinea's death record in now online:
