Notes for Caroline (Carrie) Adalade Shriver GRAVATT
1870:
As of 30 June 1870 the William Gravatt family lived in Hightstown, Mercer Cnty, New Jersey. The family included: William L., age 49; Hannah C., age 46; Clarissa E., age 23; Morris, age 15; Benj. F., age 12; Margaret A. age 10; Lydia C. age 8; and Carrie Ad., age 5. William is a railroad employee, his wife Hannah keeps house, daughter Clarissa is a tailoress, and Morris and Benjamin are both farm laborers. All were born in New Jersey.783

1880:

As of 19 and 21 June 1880, the United States Census states that the following were living in Broadalbin, New York:778
Clarressa Gravett, age 29; her sister, Clarra Gravett, age 18: her adopted daughter, Lithene Gravett, age 8 months (born October 1879); Edward Read, age 23 and Foney(?) Cole, age 20, both hired farm laborers. Although the ages do not match, it is almost certain that this is Clarissa/Clara Gravatt and her sister, Carrie. Clarissa E. Gravatt’s birth date in the 1870 census corresponds to the birth date given in Clara E. Gravatt’s obituary, however a four to five year discrepancy follows Clara across every census to her death. Perhaps she wanted folks to think she was younger than she really was! Clarissa/Clara was actually 34 and Carrie was really only 15 in 1880.

Mrs. Carrie Reed, Harry Reed and Maud Reed are removed from the membership of the United Presbyterian Church of Broadalbin, as of 25 Jun 1899.57
