I'm looking for more information on Dow Fraats, a son of John and Catherine/Catharine Fraats of Schoharie County, NY.
The 1860 census shows Dow as a master blacksmith, living in Seward, Schoharie County, with wife Rozina and a year-old daughter named Frank. The 1865 NY census shows Eunice R. Fraats living in Seward as head of a household that included daughter Francis A. (b. 1858), son Charles B. (b. 1861), and daughter Amanda J. (b. 1864). From this I assume that Dow probably died in 1864 or early 1865.
By the 1880s, both Eunice and son Charles were in Utica; multiple city directories identify Eunice R. as Dow's widow.
I'd be grateful for any additional information on Dow and his wife and children.
