d/o Daniel Betts and Mary "Polly" Chamberlain. After the death of Daniel, Anor (pronounced Anner) arrived in Portville, NY in 1826 at the age of three with her mother and siblings.
She had an older sister, Sarah Couch Betts (1820-1893) and a younger brother, Alfred Betts (1825-1895) born in Saratoga County, NY. After the death of her father about 1826, when her mother married William Pinkerton Jr. he took in Polly's three children until his death. William Pinkerton III was born in 1831 in McKean County, PA. After William Pinkerton Jr.'s death in 1831, when Polly married John Morris, a recent widower, in 1836, John took in the four children. They lived on a farm next to Alfred Betts and his wife, Emeline Jewell, at State Line, Ceres, PA. They had one daughter, Emma C. Morris, in 1837. Anor married Andrew Archibald about 1839. When John died in 1852 and his son, Rev. S.D. Morris, took over the farm, Polly and Emma moved in with Andrew and Anor Archibald in Portville. Referring to the 1855 Portville census shows Polly Morris, mother-in-law to Andrew Archibald, with William Pinkerton III, brother-in-law, and Emma C. Morris, sister-in-law. Anor's aunt, Lucy Betts, also lived in Cattaraugus County, in Ellicottville, with her husband, David Gregory.
Anor's daughter, Flora's obituary states that she was one of seven children. Combining the censuses, Andrew and Anor actually had nine children. However, an infant boy named Alfred Archibald (1861-1862) is buried in the Chestnut Hill Cemetery in Portville. He was probably named after his uncle, Alfred Betts. The 1865 census states that Anor had ten children. Including the infant who died before 1865, that makes ten children.
Emma's obituary states that when she married William T. Jones in 1856, she was married at the home of her sister in Millgrove, New York. And their marriage is recorded in the United Methodist Church in Portville. Andrew and Anor Archibald were listed as Innkeepers, Tavernkeepers and Hotel Managers in Portville in the 1850, 1855 and 1860 censuses with staff and boarders. Yet, when their daughter, Miss Flora Sarah Archibald (1856-1939), died in Portville, her obituary stated: "Miss Archibald was born March 11th, 1856 at Millgrove (sic), the daughter of Andrew and Anor Archibald. She spent her early life at Millgrove (sic) where her father ran the hotel during the lumbering days and running of logs down the river. The family moved to Portville for many years, living on the farm now owned by O. L. Scutt." In 1865, 1870 and 1880, Andrew's occupation was listed as "farmer." Since William and Emma were married three weeks before Flora's birth, they were married in the house of her sister, Anor (Betts) Archibald, on February 17, 1856.
Emma's obituary also states that she was one of six children, five of which are: Sarah Couch (Betts) Skeels (1820-1893), Anor (Betts) Achibald (1823-1894), Alfred Betts (1825-1895) (from Polly's first marriage), William Pinkerton III (b. 1831) (from Polly's second marriage), and Emma (Morris) Jones 1837-1916) (from John and Polly's marriage). Stephen Pinkerton believes that missing child is a girl, born between 1826 and 1830, appearing in the 1830 and 1840 censuses. Her name may either be Betts or Pinkerton.
Polly died in 1864. Both Emma's marriage and Polly's death are recorded in the United Methodist Church in Portville.
The 1880 census for Centerville, Neosho, Kansas shows William T. and Emma C. Jones living there with two of their children. A niece, Dollie Archibald (age 27 (b. 1853), from New York), a dressmaker, was living with them. Since she is alone, Archibald is probably her maiden name.
The Olean Historical Society houses the family research notes of Mary Louise (Parrish) Morris, a daughter-in-law to Dr. Jacob E.K. Morris, son of Rev. S.D. Morris, found in an Olean bank vault in 2001. A greeting card addressed to Mary from Lena Wilma (Bishop) Millard sometime after 1951 states, "There might be a Mrs. Archibald from Portville who was a coz (sic) of Grandfather. Is the only one I can think of. She, of course would be a very old woman." The term "coz" is an old term meaning "cousin."
Both Mary and Lena call Rev. Samuel Dexter Morris, a son of John Morris, grandfather, they being married to his grandsons. If Mrs. Archibald was a cousin of S. D. Morris, then Dollie Archibald might have been the daughter of a sister of Emma. Since Anor B. Archibald, daughter of Andrew and Anor (Betts) Archibald, was born in 1853, this is "Dollie." The middle initial, "B" might stand for "Betts."
