Mary Fagan, the daughter of Francis & Elizabeth Fagan of Albany co. NY, seen in the 1860 and 1870 census, can hardly be the same person as Mary, the wife of Thomas Rich of Herkimer co. NY, seen in the census of 1900, 1910 and 1920.First, Mary Fagan's birthplace is always given as NY; Mary Rich's is consistently MI.Second, Mary Fagan is 20 years older than Mary Rich.
No Peter Lewis nor William Dyer are found in the Herkimer co. NY census index in 1880 or 1900, which include the years when Mary Fagan should have been either living with the latter or married to the former.
