WEC: "Moved to Windsor Depot, New Hampshire about 1880."
Anna A. Farris Chute is identified as Alethia A. Chute on the tombstone of her eldest son, Charles Augustus Chute.
Notes on Daniel Dimock Chute and Elizabeth Rebecca Rand:
"Taken to Cornwallis by his parents in infancy, married Elizabeth Rebecca Rand by Rev John Prior, moved to New Canaan, Cornwallis and stayed there until March 1840, during which time three daughters and a son were born and died in infancy and childhood. They then moved to Frederickton, New Brunswick and attended the great celebration of the Queen's marriage the first of May, when a whole ox was roasted. He followed shoemaking. To look for more or better work, he left New Brunswick in March 1849, and lived in Albany and Greenbush, New York, and (hearing that his wife was dead or deserted him), married Mary Alice Eliza, daughter of Paoli and Rebecca Randall, and widow of Captain James W. Taylor (lost off the ship Alamance, 1848, aged 33, leaving two sons, James Henry born 1846 and William George born 1848). The Rev George Hall performed the ceremony on April 17, 1849 in New York City. He then moved to Mt. Clements, Michigan, where he drove stage and carried mail until 1852; then he moved to Swan Creek, St. Clair County and was a storekeeper and stave merchant through the summer of 1853; then went to California; came back in the fall of 1855, and moved to Eyota, Olmstead County, Minnesota and there "farmed it" on a good quarter section of pararie land until 1863, when he sold out and moved to near Albert Lea, Freeborn County; where he again farmed. In the spring of 1866, he went to California again; came back in the fall, and afterwards wandered into Western Dakota and settled in the Black Hills, where he died.
His "widow", Elizabeth Rebecca Rand, then married Deacon Eli Taylor and lived in Lower Woodstock and Eel River".
William Edward Chute, Chute Genealogies"My own ancestor, Laughlin Isadore Chute, was Emily Rebecca Chute's brother, and I have been trying to uncover the mystery surrounding their mother, Elizabeth Rebecca Rand (who also, by the way, must have been a colorful character and who re-married while her husband Daniel Dimock Chute was married to his second wife). The mystery to me is trying to identify Elizabeth Rebecca Rand's parents. I am certain that her father was Abishai (or Abisha) Rand, who has his own extensive family tree going back several generations. There are sources available on the internet listing Abishai's children, but Elizabeth Rebecca Rand is not one of the listed children. There is another daughter Elizabeth in Abishai's family, but it is not her. Both of these daughters were mentioned in Abishai's will -- ours was referred to as his "requital daughter" "Elizie" Chute. I do not know what "requital" means, but that is how the word is spelled in a transcribed copy of the will that one of the Rand descendents sent to me. I think it is probable that Elizabeth's mother is not the same woman who was the mother of Abishai's other children, but I was unable to find a record of an earlier marriage for him in the records I have researched. No one with whom I have corresponded knows who Elizabeth Rebecca's mother is. Interestingly, Abishai has a listed sister named Elizabeth whose birth date is approximately the same (if not identical) to the date listed for our Elizabeth in the William E. Chute book.Alan D. ChuteOur Elizabeth Rebecca Rand apparently did not get along well with her father. In his will, he left his other daughters each a cow, a feather bed, and twenty-five pounds. He left our Elizabeth five shillings! He was living in Ontario at the time, where he apparently raised his family, except our Elizabeth. She was still in New Brunswick (I believe) with her second husband.
Anyway, I was wondering whether you have any information that would solve this mystery."
