Charles W Eames is my great grandfather. He married Elizabeth J Guthrie, b1828 OH d1905 CA, they lived in Shasta, CA. Their adopted daughter, Sarah Augusta Eames, b1852 MI d1941 CA lived with them in 1870 and after Charles died, Elizabeth lived with Sarah (then Sarah Gordon, married 1893), her husband, his 3 kids by his first wife, Sarah's 2 kids by her first husband, Mr. Whiting, and she and Mr. Gordon's child in Fresno, CA, in 1900, where the census lists Elizabeth Eames as Emma Eames.
Is anyone else studying this Eames family? Charles' father was born in NY, but apparently died in MI, and perhaps Charles took in one of his nieces, Sarah Augusta, who was born in MI.
Thank you in advance for contacting me.
