Biography
| Note | I am using the spelling Kays because that is used on her Guardianship application and on her marriage license. On her son Russell's death certificate it was spelled Keyes. | |
| Birth | 2 February 1869 | Carrie May Kays was born on 2 February 1869. Birthdate calculated from age given for marriage license. However, if the 1880 census for George and Susan Kays, in Oxford, NJ is correct, Carrie would have been born in 1873, so was really only 16 when she got married. |
| Census | 1880 | She appeared in the household of George Kays in the census 1880 in Oxford, Warren County, New Jersey. George is listed as |
| Guardianship | 9 September 1889 | Carrie was named in a guardianship apppointment on 9 September 1889 in Easton, Northampton County, Pennsylvania, as follows. Carrie needed consent of a parent or guardian to marry before age 21. Her parents being deceased, she applied to the Court to have a guardian appointed, who could then sign for her to get married. This guardianship application names her parents as George and Susan Kays of Monroe County, long deceased.1  |
| Marriage | 1 October 1889 | Louis David Glasser and she were married on 1 October 1889 at First United Church of Christ in Easton, Northampton County, Pennsylvania, Lewis D. Glaser and Carrie M. Kays were issued Marriage License No. 1658. Lewis D. Glaser of Easton, age 21 years, 11 months and 20 days Carrie M. Kays, of Easton, 20 years 7 months, 26 days. Since Carrie was a minor, the consent of William H. Mellick, Guardian, was obtained. 1 Oct 1889, they were married by H. M. Kieffer, Minister of the Gospel. |
| Census | 1890 | She appeared in the census 1890 at 34 S. Union St. in Easton, Northampton County, Pennsylvania. Carrie is listed as: in the household of "Louis Glasser, laborer - Carrie, 34 S. Union" This is the alphabetical book of the Northampton County 1890 census. There is also a William Glasser, a baker, at 34 S. Twelfth. |
| Divorce | 22 August 1891 | Louis David Glasser and she were divorced on 22 August 1891. Louis filed divorce proceedings in July 1891. In one part of the record, he says they had lived together as man and wife about 10-11 months, which would be Aug/Sept of 1890, a year before the divorce. In another part of the record, he says they lived as man and wife until May 11, 1891. At the time the constable served the divorce subpoena on Carrie, in July, she was pregnant. Carrie had Charles H. Glasser/Glosser in Dec 1891, although that date is calculated from the death certificate, so it depends on the knowledge of his son Fred, the informant on the death certificate. Census and draft card dates show a variety of different years, although the Dec 31 date seems to be a constant. It appears that the Northampton County courts held Charles J. Kemmerer legally responsible as the father of the child. See the attached fileS for the F&B charges.  |
| Newspaper Mention | 21 August 1896 | She was mentioned in a newspaper report about Frederick Kreil when 21 August 1896 edition of the Easton Free Press, Easton, Northampton County, Pennsylvania, reported |
| Newspaper Mention | 25 August 1896 | She was mentioned in a newspaper report about Frederick Kreil when 25 August 1896 edition of the Easton Free Press, Easton, Northampton County, Pennsylvania, reported |
| Census-not confirmed | 1900 | Carrie has not been confirmed to be the following entry for the census of 1900 Norristown, Montgomery County, Pennsylvania: Carrie Glaser, Boarder, b. June 1874, age 25, divorced, born in Penna and parents also, Folder at a Hosery Mill. Living in the Hotel of Albert Hauck and wife Myrtle (tramscribed Mauck), with 14 other boarders. https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:M3QL-7KY |
| DNA Clues | 2024 | Kays Family: Based on many DNA matches to descendants of Carrie Kays through both her son Russell Kreil and her son Charles Glasser/Glosser, it is clear that she belongs to the large Kays family of Sussex County, New Jersey. The attached DNA match chart gives "quick and dirty" trees for these matches. I have not proven each pedigree, but the point of this chart is to demonstrate the consistency and quantity of the connections of Carrie, and thus her father George to other Kays descendants. George may have been the son of John Kays and Elizabeth Shepherd. John Kays was either the son or grandson of the original immigrant, John Thomas Kays, born in Scotland in 1739, and died in New Jersey in 1829. John Thomas Kays was a Lieutenant in the American Revolution. |
