Tintype of Charles ca. 1865 |
Charles Kay was born about 1815 in England, and died in January 1890 at Walden, New York. He was a wool spinner in both England and New York. He married first Susanna Ogden (b. about 1815 in England; died before the 1860 census at Walden, New York). They came to the US in 1848, and lived at New York City until moving to Orange County by the 1850 census. They had ten children (I don’t know if this number includes Hannah’s child): |

He worked various jobs, from a wool spinner to a blade grinder. About 1891 he opened a wood yard named the Steam Kindling Wood Works. They had one daughter, Annie, and an adopted son Willie.

vi. Susanna J. Kay was born about 1856 in New York.
Charles married second Hannah Dawson (b. about 1820 in England) before the 1860 census. They had one child, who I believe was Richard:
vii. Richard Kay was born about September 1860 in New York, and died after the 1920 census. He married Mary (b. about 1861 in England; died between the 1880 and 1900 census).

These two tintypes are not identified, but because of where they are situated in the album, I believe that this is Charles' second wife, Hannah Dawson, and their child, Richard. |
