Samuel J C Clarrage
Private, Company E, age 36 from Wells, Maine
SAMUEL JOSEPH C CLARRAGE was born ca 1826 in Lynn, MA, the son of William and Mary Clarrage [marr rec, age 24 in 1850]. He died in Lynn, Essex, MA on 24 Nov, 1874 from consumption. He was aged 48yrs,10mos [MA VR v265 p230].
He married on 19 May, 1850, in Lynn, MA, to ANN MARIA CREDIFORD, the daughter of Oliver and Nancy (Goodwin) Crediford. She was born in Wells, Maine circa Mar 1835 [1900 census], and death was after 1900. She remarried on 5 Oct, 1881 to Frank G Bradford [MA VR v325 p281]
According to census records, Samuel always lived in Lynn, MA, and worked as a cordwainer (shoemaker). His wife was originally from Wells, moving to Lynn with family when young, but not sure of the circumstances as to why he joined a Maine regiment, unless he was briefly in town. Samuel filed for a pension on 2 Dec, 1870 (app #166,776 cert #122,656)
Two children are seen with Samuel and Ann in census records. The 1900 census credits Ann (now a Bradford) with having only two children (both alive at time of enumeration)
I. ELENORA AROLINE (aka Elnora, Ellen N, Ella Nora) was born on 16 March, 1853 in Lynn, MA [MA VR v72 p208]. She married to CHARLES E LEWIS on 27 Oct, 1873 in Lynn, MA [MA VR v253 p273], the son of Charles and Ellen E Lewis. He was born in Peabody, MA or Danvers, MA ca 1849 (age 24 in 1873; a.31 in 1880).
