Roxanna Crafts
Roxanna Crafts (maiden name: Forehand) was born on February 4, 1835, in Croydon, New Hampshire, to Christopher and Betsey Forehand. Her father probably died in the 1840s. She married Homer Morgan Crafts in the late 1850s, and the couple settled in Claremont, New Hampshire. They had no children. Her husband worked as a merchant, and by 1860, they owned $2,500 of personal property. Homer served in the Union army during the Civil War and was discharged for disability in May 1862.
She may have separated from her husband sometime in the 1860s. Homer died in 1872, and she married George Alonzo Andrews on August 4, 1881. They lived in Claremont, New Hampshire, and her husband worked as a mechanic. Andrews died on September 3, 1906, and she passed away of heart disease in Claremont on March 14, 1909.
