Biographical Notes
She was a daughter of Kedar (#1639) and Peg (#1640). J.W. Case's comment about the loss of the function of her arm is confirmed by a letter written from Helen Buell to her sister Charity Albertson.
She was enumerated in the 1850 Federal census in the Albertson household, residing at Southold (age 63 years). She was enumerated in the 1860 Federal census (age 72 years), residing in Greenport with sisters Keturah and Margaret. She presumably died unmarried by 1865 because she was not listed in the 1865 New York State census.
