MARRIAGE(1)-DATE-PLACE:  Biograph written by Lulu Cram Allred, March 1978.

MARRIAGE(1):  Lulu Cram Allred writes:  With no family behind him, he [Charles] went to Boston to visit with his relatives on his mother's side.  Here he found a sympathetic ear in his cousin, Eliza Jane Prescott.  After a short courtship, they were married in New York City on 10 Nov 1846.  I [Lulu Cram Allred] have seen this Marriage License in the Genealogical Department of the Carnegie Library.

CENSUS-1850:  UTL. Search as of 29 Jul 99 was able to locate subject or spouse in NY, NH, MA, ME, or VT, as well as PA, DE, and NJ.  Five Charles Cram's residing in New England states do no appear to be subject due to age, page of birth, and/or lack of spouse.

[Charles would have been 26 years of age in 1850 when the census was conducted.  Wife, Eliza, would have been 24 years old.  She would have been pregnant with her first (known) child, Angleo Prescott who was born 6 Nov 1850 in Meredith, NH.]

CENSUS-1860:  UTL.  As subject's 4th child, Victoria, was born in Moline, Illinois in 1859 and 5th child, Charlesetta, was born in St. Louis, Missouri, it would appear that family was living in the midwest area.  Index for Illinois shows only one Charles Cram, a farmer born in Canada.  There is no 1860 index available for Missouri.
