Misc. Notes
Now here is the remarkable thing about Martin Henry and his two families. Neither family had the slightest inkling of the other -- at least in family lore, or in any public genealogical record -- until the descendants of James Oliver and Martin Henry's second family made contact in 1998.
277In Paterson, Martin Henry continued his practice in the law, all the surviving sons, Martin Henry Radcliffe, Alfred Andrew, Robert Edward, and James Jacob were lawyers. Robert Edward and James Jacob were also accomplished pianists and church organists.
277Mary Cooke, age 24, listed as servant of house in Census of 1860.
