Mary E. was married prior to her marriage with ERC. SHe had two daughters in that marriage. See email notes in ERC notes.
Elijah married second Mary E “Carpenter” on 8 Jan 1877 in Charlton, MA. Mary’s name is given as “Carpenter”. The marriage record for Elijah and Mary gives Mary’s parent’s names as Rufus Delno and Elizabeth ?. The record also indicates that the marriage is the second for both of them. See Elijah's notes for more details.
13961. Elizabeth M."Lizzie" Carpenter
Step-Daughter to ERC.
In 1900 Census with parents. Step-daughter to ERC.
See mother's second marriage for more detailed notes. The interesting part referenced by Bill Quinn in his update is the following: This just creates a bit of intrigue since it doesn’t alter any records. But it was interesting that in the 1910 census, Mary’s daughter by her first marriage is listed as, “race – Mulatto” and as the “step-daughter” of Elijah.

She died the same day her husband died in 1867? Yet he married for the second
time in 1854? Death date probably not accurate. It would be logical if she
died 3 April 1837 shortly after giving birth to a child who died at birth.

Family on page 551 (# 885)Seth Loomis, when a young man studied for the profession of the law and in due
course of time was admitted to the courts. In order to obtain the means for
his education he taught district and writing schools in the winter and peeled
hemlock bark in the summer or did anything that turned up where he could earn
an honest dollar. One of the schools he taught before he was twenty was in
Cambridge, ME where he became acquainted with his future wife, Miss Lucinda
Ham. At the close of school he went to New Orleans, but soon returned to
Maine. Soon after he went west and settled in Wisconsin. In three years
he returned to his native state and practiced his profession.He enlisted in the Civil War as a "nine month man"; his company tendered him
the position of Captain when they organized at Bangor.
At this time with out any solicitation he received the commision of First
Lieutenant of the 17th Infantry, U.S. Army then quartered at Portland.
He entered at once into the duties of enlisting men to fill up the regiment.
In performing his duties he was thrown from the buggy and disabled his hip,
which made him unfit for service, but he continued in the business of
recruiting. Soon after he resigned and he and his family again went west
and settled in Alpena, MI.
Here he opened a law office and remained there until he died. He was a very
energetic man, generous to a fault and of a roving nature. He had a good
facuity for making money and less for keeping it, which resulted in many ups
and downs. He was a man who tried to keep his name an honorable one, and early
taught his children that a good education and a good name was the best
inheritance he could leave them. He was an enthusiastic Mason, having served
as master of the lodge several times and at the time of his death was a member
of the Knights Templar. He was always a leading thinker and counsellor among
the citizens and was highly respected by every class of men. He was buried
with Masonic honors.
