• Notes

  "Walworth's first wife, Caroline Amelia, died shortly after the birth of their fourth child in 1875. He then married her younger sister, Frances Elizabeth. Caroline, having extracted the promise of the marriage from Walworth, thus insured that her sister would care for the children." Carved on the monument, found at findagrave.com, is a record of Walworth, and both of his wives. (Their data is in their notes.) Walworth Merritt Mooney, Born in Chazy, N.Y. April 5, 1833 Died at Ausable Chasm, N.Y. Dec. 15, 1914. Note from Dr. Anthony L. Troha: "A note left by the poster states "w/o Walworth Merritt Mooney", but it is not clear if he means that their husband is buried elsewhere or something else. Note that the place where Walworth M. Mooney lived in New York State was originally spelt "Au Sable Chasm", but more recent usage is to write it as "Ausable Chasm". Other nearby placenames still retain the original spelling, "Au Sable", which is French for "with sand", descriptive of the river that bears this name and flows through the deep gorge or "chasm". Walworth's birthplace, Chazy, is situated in Clinton County, New York." Walworth's sons, Henry Seward and Charles, half-brothers, both drowned in that river in 1896 and so are not on the 1900 census below. "The Ogden Family in American" (see source for citation) says that Walworth and his first wife Caroline Amelia Jackson had 4 children and that he and his second wife Frances Elizabeth, Caroline's younger sister, had 3 children. Continuing from Dr. Troha: "It appears that Walworth M. Mooney owned horse-nail factories in Montréal and Au Sable Chasm, which explains why they were living in Montréal when his first wife, Caroline, died. I also found evidence that his children, Henry Seward Mooney and Caroline J. Mooney, both attended McGill University, which is located in Montréal, and Caroline may be the author of an article published in a 1935 issue of The Journal of American History." 1900 Census Dist 33, Chesterfield, Essex Co., New York Mooney, W.
