Doreen Dolleman's Research [on Aaron Olmstead]
3(2):7, May 2000
... I have one last thought to share about Aaron Olmstead
Sr. We know that he had two children by 1790 and maybe more
by the time he disappeared in 1798. It is possible that Miriam
Olmstead born about 1793 was his daughter. She married
Benjamin Matteson from Shaftsbury, VT in 1819 and by 1825
had settled in Hounsfield, Jefferson Co. NY. Around 1847 they
moved to Shabbona, DeKalb Co. IL, not far from Aaron Jr.‘s
family. Miriam died 17 October 1848 at age 55. Their children
were: Miranda, Lorenzo, Oscar, Lois, Albert, Eliza, Miriam, and
Jane Hannah.
