Besides their daughter, Emily Carter Miles, they had a Lucretia Laura Miles - hence the name of Laura Lucretia Curtis of the album. There is also photo of Erastus Niles Curtis in the album, but his middle name should be Miles. Father, Erastus Miles, was b. 11 Jul 1779, Goshen Twp, Litchfield Co., CT to a David Miles.

At this time I can't explain the same photo in the "Florida" album of Almina - Curtis - Dodge - Powles. unless we are looking at multiple marriages - yet to be discovered. The Powles does not seem to be a common name - but I have seen some in censuses. +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Notice in the kid list an Atherton J.Curtis. . .father, Joseph Kilborn Curtis must have a relation to James K. Curtis of the 1880 census I sent earlier - and include again here . . . Name Relation Marital Status Gender Race Age Birthplace Occupation Father's Birthplace Mother's Birthplace James K.

Osborn I notice a baby pic of R. Gardner Dodge - this is Ransome Gardner Dodge, son of William Hervey Dodge / Elvira Gardner . . .RLD page 353 The 1900 MI census of Eaton Rapids shows William H. Dodge with wife Eloise G. Dodge and dau. Eloise O. so perhaps Elvira was also Eloise Gardner (RLD p 352/3 shows both names). The IGI has the marriage listed as Eloise A. Gardner, m. 27 Sep 1871, Kalamazoo, MI. ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Here is a portion of the 1880 from Eaton Rapids, Michigan showing that Ezra / Laura had a son named after her father.
