  Notes	Sidney Smith Legate was born on 5 May 1830 in Leominster, Massachusetts. He was the son of Capt. William Morris Legate and Nancy Hadley Legate. Around 1850 Sidney moved to New Hampshire to teach school. There he met Hannah Wiggin Smith (b.1830) and they were married on 8 Apr 1852. They went on to have four children, Walter Scott (b.9 May 1853), Russell Smith (b.9 Sep 1855), May Augusta (b.9 Oct 1956), and Anna Louise (b.28 May 1862). Hannah died a few months after the birth of Anna on 7 Jul 1862. After his wife's death, Sidney disappeared from his children's lives for a while and they were brought up by various relatives. In 1873 we find Sidney working as a contractor and builder in Denison & Sherman, Texas. His son, Russell, joined him there as did his daughter, May in around 1876. He briefly lived in Fort Worth, Texas in 1877. On 10 May 1882 he married Catherine V. Turner in Chicago, Illioois. He returned to Texas to work as a builder because we find him back in Denison in 1887. He and Catherine eventually settled in Pinconning, Michigan where they bought a farm. They lived the remaining years of their life there. Sidney died on 29 May, 1913. (Information contributed by Lisa Brutsche Morrow)
