Marriage Notes (Elsey)
1850 Perkins census:
house 13-13
Lewis, William, age 50, farmer, $2500
Elsey, 55
William O., 19, farmer
Alexander, Albion D., 27, mariner
Alvira, H., 24
Goodwin, Louisa M., 15
Call, Moses, 9
All were born in Maine.

1870 Richmond census:
Elsie Lewis was living with Albion & Elvira Alexander.

These associations are consistent with Alvira/Elvira being the daughter of William & Elsie Lewis, but she could have been Elsie's daughter from an earlier marriage, or some other near relation. 15
