County histories may mention people who never lived there. This Marlborough, NH history mentions a native of Ontario never set foot in New Hampshire. She married into a family who spent time in New Hampshire–but the family member she married left as a young man and never returned. The clue to your puzzle may have been published several states away.

How interesting to see this. I know I look at where pepole live or lived. Will continue to check out people all over.
Another good reason to research the siblings in your line. Maybe they moved somewhere else and became the pioneers that have a full chapter biography written about them (and their family) in some of the town and county histories.
Years ago I discovered a County History book re: where one of my relatives had lived for a while. His name wasn’t included in the index and I didn’t particularly want to read the whole book. I knew his wife’s name but not much more about her family. However I looked in the index for her maiden name and found her, her parents, siblings, etc. along with my relative as her husband . Apparently her family was noteworthy, or paid to have their family history mentioned and my relative wasn’t or didn’t/couldn’t buy space to be mentioned.
