UPDATE:
A reader sent me an email with a link to a death record at FamilySearch.org . It was the death record of Elizabeth W. Menard, who died on 27 June 1810 in Boston, Massachusetts at age 81. Sidney R. Menard was listed as the husband of Elizabeth Trull, daughter of John F. Trull and Elizabeth W. Wilkinson. You can see this record at this link:
https://familysearch.org/pal:/MM9.1.1/N4SJ-TSN
Perhaps the 10 year old Sidney F. Menard is their son?

Very interesting post, Heather. Plot cards have helped me out big time on more than one occasion. Good luck on finding out who Sidney is.
