Birth*	Lydia York was born on 30 April 1780 possibly in Brentwood, Rockingham County, New HampshireG.1,2
Marriage*	She married David Fairbanks, son of Joseph Fairbanks and Sybil Grover, on 22 May 1802.3
Death*	Lydia died on 30 May 1873 in MaineG.3
	The Fairbanks and Howe genealogies states that Lydia was the daughter of Joseph York and Susannah Howe of Monmouth, Maine, but Joseph and Susannah filed their intention of marriage in Monmouth in 1813, so she was at least a second wife. Census records from before and after that time period also indicate the presence of an older wife in 1810 and earlier. If, as I suspect, Joseph of Monmouth is the same person as the Joseph who was from Brentwood, NH, his wife's name in 1794 was Joanna, but her maiden name is unknown.

Birth*	Jacob Woessner was born on 20 October 1877 in Brooklyn, Kings County, New YorkG. He was age 2 in the census taken on 14 June 1880. His parents' names comes from that census, and also the fact that they were born in Württemberg, which is now part of Germany.1,2
Marriage*	He married first Minnie C. Weber on 7 April 1901 in Brooklyn, Kings County, New YorkG.3
Marriage*	He married Margaret Teschek, daughter of Louis Teschek and Katharina Thomann, on 23 April 1919 at the Lutheran Church of the Reformation in Brooklyn, Kings County, New YorkG. At the time of their marriage Jacob was a widowed chauffeur living at 833 Monroe Street in Brooklyn and Margaret was living at 828 Monroe Street.4,5

Burial*	He was buried on 2 May 1952 in the Redemption section of Evergreen Cemetery, grave no. 852, in Brooklyn.7
	Jacob was born and raised in Brooklyn, although his marriage record says he was born in Manhattan. The 1900 census found 21-year-old Jacob living with his widowed mother at 235 DeKalb Avenue in Brooklyn and his occupation was given as "Bottles condensed milk." When the 1905 New York State census was taken Jacob and his first wife Minnie and one-year-old son John Jacob were living at 22 Lewis Avenue in Brooklyn and Jacob worked as a driver. In 1907 their 3-year-old son son John died of scarlet fever. They were still at the 22 Lewis Avenue address at the time. When the 1910 census was taken Jacob and Minnie and their second (and now only) son Walter were living at 791 Hancock Street in Brooklyn and Walter drove a milk wagon, working on his own account. In the 1915 state census Jacob was living at 926 Hart Street in Brooklyn and his mother Sofia was living with him, but no sign of his wife or son. Once again he worked as a driver. On 12 Sep 1918 when he registered for the draft he was living at 926 Hart Street in Brooklyn with his wife Minnie. He worked as an auto truck inspector for the Royal Machine company. He was described at tall and slender with black hair and brown eyes.1
