| Notes |
- At her parents' death, Timothy (Amadeus Botsford's brother) took Esther, age 5:
"I find I have not told about Aunt Esther whom you must remember. She came from Kensington to Mary's house in Bristol for a visit and they went to Edward Terry's for a prayer meeting (what vou know as the Dailey Place) and fell on the ice, injuring her back from which she never fully recovered. For 6 years she had to lay in bed and suffered terribly, but was finally well enough to care for Uncle Timothy's widow, who died at 87, leaving her the property you know as Ellen Hutchenson's home. From 1872 to 1899, she made her home with my mother, more or less, and both she and Mary kept house there in 1886 and l887. She died in New Haven at the home of Ellen Botsford Beach the 10th of January 1899, and is buried in Lake Avenue Cemetery (Bristol)."
Excerpt from a letter by Annie Pierce Haviland to her son.
