Isabel Hathaway Lovell

Isabel Hathaway Lovell, my great grandmother, wife of Vinton Marshall Smith, was born Jan 6, 1900 in Taunton, Massachusetts.  Taunton is located on the Taunton river near Cape Cod and dates back to 1637.  Isabel spent most of her life in Taunton, with some time spent in Connecticut and New Bedford.

Historic Green in Taunton, Mass.

As a baby, Isabel lived with her Mother, Grandparents, and uncles Louis and Charles, aunt Effie, brother Harrison, and sister Edna.   The family had a homes on Briggs Street, and Hodges Ave.  By 1910, Sisters Gertrude, Jane, Rahammes, and Dora had been born.

Isabel married Vinton Smith about 1919 and they lived with the Ford Family in Taunton in 1920.  Marguerite was born in 1920 and the family lived in a couple places in Taunton, Vinton working as a fireman, and Isabel working as a nurse.  In 1928 Isabel was living with her father, and by 1930 she had divorced Vinton and had moved to East Hartford.  She lived with James Lawrence who she would marry soon after.  During the 1930s they lived in and around Hartford, CT before moving back to Tauton.  James had various jobs including Truck Driver over the years, and Isabel took a job as a press operator at one point.

She lived until age 86 (May 29, 1986).

This research is internally consistent and is supplemented with family reports.  I am 100% confident in the core of this information.
