Charlotte "Lottie" Colby Ellsworth (1865-1937) daughter of Benjamin Franklin Ellsworth (1837-1904) and Ann Maria Davis (1840-1881) of Ipswich, Massachusetts. She married Henry B Homans (1860-1935) son of William Albert Homans and Elizabeth Ann Booth (1832-1898) Notes on this line: Elizabeth Booth daughter of William Isaac Booth and
Mary Ann Lane. According to family genealogy record compiled by Ben Williams in 2017, Elizabeth Booth was born in Guilford County, North Carolina Died 2 March 1898 age 68 years old Gloucester, Essex, Massachusetts, United States 1st Married circa 1848 Iowa Nathan Steadman [1828-1858] 2nd Married 18 August 1859 Campo Saco, Calaveras, California William Albert Homans. Elizabeth was a widow with three young children when she married William Albert Homans a native of Salem, Essex County, Massachusetts. He was a seaman who was married and had two children he left behind in Massachusetts when he came to the Gold Fields of California. Evidently he did not divorce his first wife who continued to live in Massachusetts. He was probably a bigamist. They were married 18 Aug 1859 in Calaveras County, California, located in the heart of the California Gold Country. Mark Twain set his story, "The Celebrated Jumping Frog of Calaveras County" in this county. In August 1859, when Elizabeth and William married the town was almost completely destroyed by fire. It was described by a reporter the following year: “The population of Campo Seco in the summer of 1860 is about 300. In 1862 gold was still being placered on 15 or 20 claims, but the future of the town was not gold, but copper. That year the town boasted a hotel, a restaurant, four stores, two saloons, a brewery, blacksmith shop, livery stable, post office, Wells Fargo office, and two churches; Catholic and Methodist. By 1867 however, the boom was over, occasioned by a glut in the copper market and the cessation of the Civil War and its demand for copper for shell casings. The 1880 census shows that Elizabeth Booth Homan was in California with her daughter Elizabeth A Homan while her husband was in Massachusetts with the remainder of the Homans children. She listed her marital status as a widow while William listed his status as married. She eventually moved back to Gloucester, Massachusetts to be near her children. One of her daughters, Nannie Homans went off to Paris, Francis in 1893 to study art and became a prominent portrait artist. Her Steadman children all remained in California. |
