My 5th great grandfather was Ebenezer Whitmore, who married a Susanna Merrill in Newbury, MA on 4/14/1784. Susanna died in Newburyport, MA on 6/11/1840 at the age of 76.

I am searching for information on Victorine Emerson Marsh, who lived in Wakefield with the Emerson family from 1850 until about 1886. She served as the Lucius Beebe Library's head librarian from 1868 until 1885, resigning due to ill health. In 1900 she was listed on the census as a patient at the Danvers Mental Hospital. I would appreciate any information you might be able to provide.
