Fenns in WMass Some Mysteries Remain

My branch of the Fenn line has been in WMass for about 6 generations and before that in Litchfield County, CT (mostly Plymouth) So far my line goes Bejamin Fenn m. Susanna Wade. They had James who married Sarah Platt. They had Aaron, Sr. He married Mary Bradley and they had Aaron Jr. who married Sabra Fenn (yes they are related but she comes down through Benjamin's other wife Sarah Baldwin. Aaron and Sabra had Isaac who married Anna Catlin (I wish I could find the date) probably around Harwinton, CT. That is where my great-great-great grandfather George C. was born. Isaac and the family at some point moved to Otis, MA. George C. married Augusta Louis Bliss of West Springfield on Sept 1, 1853 in Westfield, MA. George and Augusta had two surviving children (George H. died from Cholera at 9 mos) Elwin and Anna, all born in Ware, MA. Doing some more digging recently I found out that Elwin operated a meat market in Ware located at 13 Church St. Anna married late in life to William Bates Eddy on Jul 30, 1921 in her home. I have yet to find her death date nor her mother Augusta's. Elwin married Clara Rugg whose family camed down from Rindge, NH. Her parents were Addison and Eliza K. Rugg. Elwin and Clara had three sons Stanly Rugg, Clarence Elwin, and my great-granfather George Addison. Until recently I knew nothing about my two great-great uncles beaides their birth records and and their WWII draft cards which showed them both residing in Brooklyn, NY. Stanley listed his contact person as Maud N. After finding a listing of Maud's will from the Red Bank (NJ) Register, in which she left valuable jewelry to her grandniece's and the rest of her estate to her husband Stanley R. Fenn, it was aparent that they did not have any children. As for Clarence, he listed his contact as Elese Rita Fenn on his draft card. I have yet to find any other info on him. George Addison married my great-grandmother Sadie Mabel (or as her will calls her Mae) Cline. I do not know the exact date. It is sometime between the 1920 census and the birth of my grnndfather George A. Fenn, Jr. on Oct 1, 1922. George Addison left the family and my grandfather had to run the family farm. Needless to say he did not continue farming, he was retired from being a bus driver. Not too long ago I discovered that George Addison remarried a woman named Mary Wolfe (born Williams) in NH on Oct 26, 1940. They may have had two daughters together as listed on George and Mary's gravestone are the names Stephanie and Phyllis. My grandfather married Alexina Lemoine and they had four children, Patricia, Thomas, Linda, and Wayne. Thomas married Betty Ann Bonin Davis on Sep 20, 1974 and they had Michelle, Theresa, and myself, Darrin on May 27, 1980. I married Lori Marie Johnson on Oct 20, 2007. Lori is due with our first son on Jan 6, 2012.
