Cause of Death
Paralysis
Parents --Sylvadia & Elizabeth Andrews
Maria Samantha (Andrews) Boyce's name only appears as "Anna M. Boyce" in the New York death record and subsequent cemetery record.
She is enumerated as "Maria" or "Maria S." in the censuses.
She is "Maria S. Boyce" in the 1880 Will (probated 1882) of her husband, Frederick William Boyce.
She is "Maria S. Andrews" in the 1913 D.A.R. application of her daughter, Helen Morton Boyce, which gives her birth date as 12 Dec 1822 and her death date as 12 Apr 1891 (the New York Death Index also shows a death date of 12 Apr 1891).
Her Hartford, Connecticut, record of marriage to Frederick William Boyce on 01 May 1842 gives her name as "Maria S. Andrews."
She is identified as "Submantha M. Boys" among the "Heirs of Silvador Andrews" in the 16 Dec 1845 Probate Distribution of her grandfather Otis Andrews's (also spelled "Otis Andros" in the 1844 Will) estate.
Her parents are Salvador Andrews (1794-1837) and Elizabeth Lyon (1798-1861/1867).
The Hartford, Connecticut, death record of Maria Samantha (Andrews) Boyce's brother, Carlton William Andrews (1816-1883) records his parents as "Salvador, Elizabeth."
The division/distribution of the estate of Elizabeth Lyon's father, Nathan Lyon (1856-1825), identifies "Betsey Andrews a daughter" and lists "Salvador Andrews & Betsey his wife" on a page dated 09 Jan 1827 in Ashfield, Mass., and names "Salvador Andrews in right of his wife Betsey a daughter" on a page dated 13 Feb 1827 in the Franklin Co., Mass., Court of Probate, Greenfield. Signatures for "Salvador Andrews" and "Betsey Andrews" (which looks like the handwriting in Salvador's signature) appear on a page dated 05 Apr 1826 in Ashfield, Mass., and the page dated 09 Jan 1827, in Ashfield, Mass.
My own 18-year-old grandmother, having already lost her mother in 1904, put the wrong name ("George" Andrews) on the 1911 death certificate of her father (Lee Roberts Andrews), so I know this happens. She later corresponded with her father's sister, who shared some family records with her.
I have the copies of these records if you would like them. I have already sent copies to Frank Williams at the cemetery.
Thank you.
