Biography:

Born in Rye, New Hampshire
Was living with Benjamin TREFETHEN⁰²⁹⁸, Nathaniel TREFETHEN⁰⁹⁹⁸, &William TREFETHEN¹⁰⁰⁰. Ben was probably the grandfather, one of the others is probably his father

Rebecca died in Lynn, Massachusetts age 46 of Consumption. She was born in Plymouth, Massachusetts daughter of Albert & Eleanor LEACH (both born in Plymouth)[Source 36: Massachusetts Death Records]

There is MUCH confusion between this Frederick A. and Frederick Alonzo TREFETHEN⁰⁰⁹⁷ who lived in Lynn, Massachusetts
Adding to the confusion... the 1900 Lynn Massachusetts Census shows Fred (born in February 1835 {which is close to Fred TREFETHEN 0097}, a dealer in Engineer Supplies, owning the home at 58 Union St., Lynn, Massachusetts; living with Frank L. (Which could be Frank H. TREFETHEN⁰⁸²⁸) born in May 1860, also selling Engineer supplies, and Franks wife Florence M. (born in December 1860, mother of 3 kids, 2 living); Fred's sons Ernest M. TREFETHEN¹⁰⁹² (born in December 1881, a student) and Harry L. TREFETHEN¹⁰⁹³ (born November 1895).
