ALDRICH, BARSANTEE, MASSEY posted by Sandra Cecchetti on Friday, May 8, 1998

I am researching the BARSANTEE surname. I know one son Onslow born in NH 4 June 1832 to John and Ezoa BARSANTEE. He married Asenath ALDRICH in Providence RI. They had four children Frederick, Cora, George and Edward. Frederick died May 1 1906 in Providence Hospital. At the time he was residing in Cranston. Cora was born 1868 and died Dec 6 1878 in Providence. His wife Asenath died May 28 1883 in Providence. He remarried Harriet MASSEY on Dec 30 1886 in Providence. On the 1920 census Onslow is living with his son Edwin in Riverside Village he is 87 years old and a widow. What I would like to know is when he died. Also if it would be possible to get obituaries from the newspapers on any of these people. I would be glad to pay for any of the cost. I would really like to complete this family.
