Notes	Charles E. Webster is listed in the 1850 Federal Census with real estate valued at $1,000. In 1855, the Massachusetts State Census shows him living in Bradford, age 39 and a shoemaker. The 1880 US Census for Bradford, Essex, Massachusetts, lists Charles E. Webster, a. 63, a farmer. In his household lived wife Mary D. Webster, a. 61, and sons William M., a. 25 and a shoe cutter, and George A., a. 22 and also a shoe cutter. In the 1889 Bradford [Mass.] City Directory, a Charles E. Webster is listed as farmer living on Main, above Locke. The same directory also has listings for names matching Charles’ 4 sons, 3 of whom are given addresses in relation to Locke. The directory also lists a George W. Webster as a shoemaker at the same address -- unclear what relation he is. Note that there were a great many Websters in the shoemakng trade in nearby Haverhill (a town that later absorbed Bradford). Charles and his wife Mary were 4th cousins, both descendants of Nathan Webster and Mary Hazeltine. Mary Day was also both the 4th and 5th cousin of her husband’s father Charles Webster (4th through John Day and Sarah Pengry, 5th through Richard Kimball and Ursula Scott). [2, 5, 10, 11]
