Today I begin outlining what is known about Edward Marden Junior’s children. I am starting with his 2nd child and will cover his first born, Nathaniel, after all the other children. Nathaniel is quite a puzzle, elusive and colorful. He will take more than one post to cover properly. I will cover the possible 1st family of Edward Jr. by a woman named Rebecca Jamison in a separate post later.

Joseph Annis Marden - Locations
- Lyman, NH - 1811 to c1824
- Albany, VT - c1820s. On the old Bayley-Hazen Road built by his grandfather.
- Sutton, Orleans Co., VT - 1829 residence at time of marriage. This is in the Willoughby Lake region and may have some significance to a Native family.
- Albany, VT - 1830-1832
- Compton, Compton Co., Quebec - 1834 to 1843 according to birth locations for children. Compton is on the Coaticook River, a branch of the St. Francois River. This location may have significance to a Native family.
- Brookfield, Orange Co., VT - c1845
- Randolph, Orange Co., VT - c1847-1850+. Located on the White River which flows into the Connecticut River. This location may have significance to a Native family.
- Wisconsin - 1858-1901

The most important items to keep in mind about Joseph Annis Marden are;
- he was born in Lyman, NH
- he grew up and started a family in the Albany VT region
- he moved to Compton, Quebec with a young family - this may be where some writers got the idea that Edward Jr. was in Canada, perhaps Edward lived with or frequently visited Joseph.
- he is identified in the Vermont 1850 and Wisconsin 1870 Census as a “basket maker” - this is not proof of Native Heritage but it is a good piece of circumstantial evidence to support that possibility.
- he is identified as “white” in all census
- most members of this family ended up in Wisconsin
What else should I try to learn?
- Can I verify the birth dates and locations of his children?
- What caused him to move to Canada in the 1830s?
- What caused him to move to a different part of Vermont when he returned from Canada?
- What attracted the family to Wisconsin?
- Do any examples of his baskets survive?
This concludes my coverage of Joseph Annis Marden.
Are there any descendants out there that can provide additional information or perhaps photos?
