Narrative

William Masson and Ann Abbott, both of Newcastle Parish, were married on July 4 1861. Charity Jane Abbott was a witness, which leads me to believe that this Ann was the daughter of John Crawford Abbott and Mary Ann Horton.

William and Ann Mason were living in Connecticut in 1870. Ann said she was from Nova Scotia on this census. It wasn't unusual to see Islanders identified as Nova Scotians in the US census records.

And this would be her in the 1880 US census, in New York City:

I have been unable to find Ann or William in subsequent census records.
