Any information on Charles or Elizabeth will be helpful

I have an Elizabeth Utter in my line-she was my GGGGrandmother-all I know is that she was married to my GGGGrandfather, Dr. Rufus Carver Ambler, approx 1857. Perhaps she and Charles were brother/sister? My GGGrandmother, Lucy Ambler, was b in VT but Dr. Ambler died in IA. Lucy and my GGGrandfather, George McGill, were married in WI. So I have reason to believe, although not proven, that Elizabeth/Dr. Rufus went from VT to WI. Don't know if you have any info regarding your Charles and his ancestors. Thanks for your post.

Charles and Elizabeth were Married and are the parents of my G-Grandfather Abbott James Utter. Thank you for your reply, I do appreciate it.

Kelly -

I don't know if you have had any private replies to your inquiry, but Elizabeth Utter's maiden name was Farrar. She was a sister to my great-grandfather, George Farrar. According to the family tree I have, Elizabeth was born June 27, 1838 in New York and died in 1906 in Trempealeau, WI.

Perhaps you can answer a niggling question: I have a note that says that Charles and Frank Utter had a sister, whose name is unknown - and apparently she died young, but supposedly she was the first, or one of the first, telegraph operators in the U.S. Might you know anything about the sister?

Cheers!
