I need biographies for these individuals:
Carrie Ingersol of Beverly, Massachusetts, was born about 1848. The 1880 census notes her as single and working in a shoe shop. She is boarding with a Mary Owen, also employed in a shoe shop. This isn’t a retail store, but a shoe factory. She is still living with Mary Owen in 1910, and both are employed as ‘stitchers’ in a shoe factory.
Elijah Chadwick, of Chelsea, Massachusetts, born between 1808 and 1811, was a Customs House Clerk. His wife was Sarah, maiden name unknown.
James H. Carty of Chelsea, Massachusetts, born October 24, 1810 in “British Provences,” i.e. Nova Scotia, Canada, immigrated to the USA and naturalized November 3, 1860. A physician.

There are several Caroline (Carrie) Ingersols around. I think I found the right one in the 1870 census as a 21 year old domestic servant in Gloucester, Essex, Mass., but the 1880 census is interesting. She is in dwelling number 409 on the census schedule with friend, Mary Owen, but next door (dwelling number 408) lives Arthur P Adams and Addie and child. There is a whole family named Prince nearly (relatives of A P Adams perhaps?) and at least seven on the page work in shoe making. After the 1910 census where she shaves a few years off her age, I last found her in the 1916 Beverly Directory, as "shoe worker" and Rem. to Gloucester, which I assume means she had recently "removed" there.
Elijah Chadwick married Sarah Lawrence (b. 1814) in 1834 and they had several children. In the 1850 census he is a mariner - water transportation. In the 1855 census again a mariner, and in the 1870 census a pilot. As noted, by 1880 he is a customs house clerk. He died in Beverly in 1885.
James Henry Carty married Helen Olivia Potter in 1837. They had at least six children. He died in Leominster, Mass. in 1904 at the age of 93.

Thanks, Jerome. Anyone else add to this?
