Susan Adelle De Laney

  General Notes:

The 1880 Federal Census for Cherry Creek, Chautauqua, New York records Ada as a teacher in a public school.

Ada [Adell] was married to Robert James. Research indicates a Grace James living with her grand parents, John and Mary Delaney, in 1900. Also, burial records at Highland Cemetery in Cherry Creek, NY record Robert James, 8/21/1915 age 65 Veteran with Wife Adelia James 1855-1888 and the facts that the 1900 census records Robert James, born Feb 1850, as a widow. In addition, Grace James was born in March 1887 and Ada could have died as a result of that birth. Notice the birth and death dates of Adelia as 1855 and 1888 are consistent with census records for Ada (see notes on her father, John Delaney).
