Soloman and (Ann) Jane Orme were living next to Mason in 1860.

Alexander’s wife, “Reesy” was living with their son, William H, in the 1870 census. This points to Alexander and Reecy being separated before 1860.

I haven’t found “Reesy” in 1860 but see a male “Reese Garrison”, born 1800 (like Lucricia “Reesy”). I can’t find another Reece anywhere so I think the 1860 census is in error and this Reese is Reecy.

Note the Pearce/Garrison/Baldwin relationship:

Before marrying Lucinda, Stephen Pierce was married to Mary Baldwin, Lucinda’s sister. Elijah, Lucinda and Mary Baldwin probably witnessed James Herschel’s wedding too; they just weren’t named as witnesses in the marriage document (i.e. Stephen Pierce).
