1860s Autograph Album of Maria Annette Winslow of Belfast, Maine; m. Franklin B. Knowlton

 

1860s autograph album of Maria Annette Winslow, who was born in October of 1850, daughter of William and Anna C. (Smith) Winslow of Belfast, Maine.  

Maria's parents signed a page in her album:

Maria's paternal grandparents were Peter and Sally (Clark) Winslow.  Her maternal grandparents were Peter H. and Lydia (Sherman, I think) Smith.  The autograph album has several pages signed by peoiple with the surname Winslow and Smith.

Maria's brother William Henry Winslow, Civil War veteran and later a physician at Boston, and his wife Anne Traquair (Lang) Winslow signed a page:

Maria's brother Theophilus N. Winslow signed a page.  He shared the page with Herbert Smith, who was perhaps a relative through Theo's mother:

Maria's brother Edward N. Winslow signed two pages, one separately, and one shared with Sarah Cunningham of Milford, Massachusetts:

 

Edward N. Winslow's future wife, Luella Veazie McDonald of Belfast, also signed a page in the album:

Ellen Frances Winslow signed a page:

Ellen Frances Winslow's future husband, Charles B. Pote of Bangor, Maine, also signed:

Elmer S. Winslow of Bangor, Maine signed a page:

Other than the aforementioned Herbert V. Smith of Chelsea, Massachusetts, other Smiths who signed were Henry S. Smith and Maria Frances Smith of Chelsea, Massachusetts:

The autographs in this album were collected in the period before Maria was married, on 7 June 1870, at Belfast, to merchant Franklin B. Knowlton.  

Their daughter Ethel Winslow Knowlton apparently found the album when she was about ten years old and signed three separate pages.  Ethel would go on to marry Samuel Merrill Ray Locke at Belfast, on 7 June 1897.  Ethel died fairly young in 1912.

The many other signers could also include relatives and in-laws.
