DW: Lydia Josephine (20) [1865]
DS/DD: Andrew Samuel & Cora Jane (5) [1880]

Life has been quite busy for the young couple. For starters they had been barely married for a year when they welcomed twins Andrew and Cora. About a year later their families urged them to have another, and they did. But a year after the birth of Peter the family suffered a great tragedy. Not long after Peter's birth they had decided to have another. 9 months later a boy was born. But the joy was short lived as baby Artie died when he was just three days old, likely due to witch craft (he actually died of a hole in his heart but they don't know that ;)). Fearing another loss the couple decided to have no more children. Because of Artie's death and the accuasation that they were witches the young family fled their home in Salem (I know it's the wrong time period but still!) in the middle of the night. A few days later they arrived in a town called Newport. The townspeople knew nothing about them and happily helped them settle in. About two years later the couple welcomed another child, a beautiful little daughter whom they called Maggie. Maggie was a suprise as they had no idea that Lydia was even pregnant. Fearing that someone would accuse them of kidnap they decided to hide her in a drawer, just for now of course. Eventually they'd need a new plan.....
