I was confused on the Kelly Atwood of Rensselaer County, New York, and am glad you could identify them. Burial records for the family can be found on USGENWEB.COM under Rens. Co. I think they come under the heading of Old Cemeteries or something general like that. Anyone searching this can fish around the cemeteries and find what they need. The records did not make it clear to me who was who. Thanks for the clarification. Joanne Martin

Atwood Ancestors v12 #1a (1994) by Claudette Maerz ======================== Table of Contents History of Lake Mills, Wisconsin New Hampshire Censuses Monroe County, New York Record Richmond County, Georgia Record Will of Denis Atwood Cattaraugus County, New York Census We Get Letters Queries Group Records ======================= Excerpts from "A History of Lake Mills" by Mary M Wilson As time went on and lumber was gradually becoming more plentiful, a couple of carpenters established themselves - Jacob Gause and Lester ATWOOD. Ambrose Foster and Kelly ATWOOD made pressed brick that were white. Their location was on Water Street. About the same time Mr Steinfort made fired brick that was red. Their plant was on North Main Street just southeast of the present cemetery. Sloan's Condition Powder Industry was started here, but later moved to Chicago. A nursery was owned by Charles Plumb and Kelly ATWOOD. Those men had a large assortment of fruit trees, grape vines, and shrubs. Herrick's lard and oil manufacturing plant was in existence for some time, but Mr Herrick felt that the cost was becoming prohibitive. He bought ashes and sold the soap. E L ATWOOD & Co had an ashery and saleratus plant. Business boomed for awhile, but ashes became too expensive. The Agricultural Works made heavy castings. Samuel Hoyt and Dutcher had a harness shop. ATWOOD and Cooper had hardy native grapes in 1861. Their stock consisted of Muscadine, Delaware, Diana, Rebecca, Sage's Mammoth, Mammoth Concord, Connecticut Blue and other kinds. This part of the wilds was surveyed in 1835 and 1836. The first authentic account of any claims having been filed in this village was on March 15 and 16, 1837. Royal Tyler came in February, filed his claim March 15, and erected a cabin south of the site of the original ATWOOD house. The claim of E L ATWOOD was filed the next day, March 16th. E L and Kelly ATWOOD and Jacob Gause had come from Massachusetts to visit Royal Tyler. They were the adventurous pilgrim claim seekers and at that time the only so called residents. A block house was completed, a structure that provided some comfort without luxury. The family of John ATWOOD was one of the first that settled here. It was a large family that had Kelly, Isaac, Elihu L, and Gordon; the daughters were Mary Ann, who became the wife of M L Bartlett; Nancy, who became Mrse Daniel Wood. Antoher daughter became Mrs J Gause. The ATWOOD boys became prominent and influential citizens. One cold winter night Mr Keyes was summoned by the neighbors to help in the search because Uncle John ATWOOD was lost. Mr ATWOOD was the oldest man in the neighborhood, he had gone out during the day, wandered too far and could not retrace his steps. however, he had found a haystack and stayed near it until search parties found him, and so was spared a cold wintry night. The ATWOOD came to the west at the same time that the Keyes came and lived near Aztalan. Anna Maria ATWOOD was a teacher in the Winnebago Schools in Minnesota. Her husband was William Wallace Seeley, a Lieut. in the company that was raised to put down Indian troubles. Anna Marie was the daughter of Lester and was born in Massachusetts in 1837, she came to Wisconsin at the age of three months. She became a student at Wheaton College. Her poen, "Why", on the use of liquor, was delivered by her before a county convention of the W C T U. Among other works she gave a lecture, "Finite and Infinite" at a meeting at the Congregational Church in Lake Mills. The next school was taught by Miss Nancy ATWOOD, who became Mrs Daniel Wood. She was to be remembered with a regard almost akin to love. She was considered by the early families to be a most successful teacher. The children loved her with a sincere affection. She possessed the happy faculty of enkindling in the minds of her pupils a strong desire to learn. They were always obedient to her. She possessed an ease and dignity that well befitted the schoolroom. She helped those who had difficulties in their studies and obtained for herself a reputation of being an outstanding teacher. Her three terms commenced in the summer of 1840. ============================= (continued in v12 #1b) Brad [email protected] http://homepages.rootsweb.com/~genesis ============================== Join the RootsWeb WorldConnect Project: Linking the world, one GEDCOM at a time. http://worldconnect.genealogy.rootsweb.com/ Add your GEDCOM today !!!

No Deb, you're correct.... The index doesn't offer much information, but does tell you location. The 1790, 1800, 1810 also list number of males and females... and then the page number of the actual census.

The FOOTE Family "Ransford T. Foote was born In Litchfield County, Connecticut, Jan. 6, 1806. Susan Foote, his wife, was born in the same county, Dec. 2, 1805. They came to Otto, Cattaraugus County, in 1826, and to Concord in 1838. In his Younger days Mr. Foote worked at shoe making as well as farming. He now owns, occupies and conducts a large dairy-farm in the northeast part of Concord. They have one son, Harry Foote, who was born in Cattaraugus county, March 22, 1832. He was married Feb. 1 1, 1864, to Jane Rollo Calkins, who was born Aug. 23, 1838. They have no children. He resides near his father. They are industrious and prosperous farmers and are highly esteemed in the community. Mrs. R. T. Foote's father's name was Wheeler ATWOOD and her mother's maiden name was Susannah Stoddard. I learn from the history or her native town in Connecticut, that her ancestors on both sides, were among the earliest settlers in Massachusetts and Connecticut. Some of them coming over as early as 1639 ; and I also learn from the same book that they were among the first families in the communities in which they lived. Several of them were graduates of Harvard College and some of them were clergymen, and some were doctors."

Source: [email protected] From: Shirley Farone <[email protected]> Subject: Depauville - Catfish Creek Do I dare test our listmaster with one more article? This one has several names, too: Lowe, Devendorf, Fox, Rogers, Johndrow, ATWOOD, and Mr. Peter Cole, an Indian. Sorry for the questionmarks -- the copy sent me was quite blurry. Shirley Conklin Farone ========================== Watertown Daily Times - no date (probably before 1929) with photograph, captioned "Falls of Catfish Creek" Heading not clear - ? Catfish Creek Attractive at Depauville Old Indian Burying Ground Is Located Opposite Them By Frank D. Lowe Catfish creek, it is said, derived its name from the abundance of catfish found in the stream by the first settlers in the locality. A dear friend of mine, the late William Dorr, used to say that the headwaters of this creek came from "out back of Lafargeville." In early times at least four mills were dependent for their power upon this stream. There was one or more at Lafargeville, near the (?blurred) Schneider's place and there was a grist mill and a saw mill located at Depauville where the water passed over a fall (sic) of about 15 feet and there unites with Chaumont river. On the west bank, opposite the falls, the old Indian burying ground is located. At times of high water these falls make an interesting picture as shown by a photo, the original of which was taken by my old schoolmate, S. A. Devendorf, and a reproduction is herewith presented. This stream extends from Lafargeville to Depauville, a distance of about seven miles. The saw mill at the latter place is now owned and operated by Fred Sternberg, who also conducts a manufacturing business in connection with the mill for which purpose water power from the streams is used. At times of low water, there was insufficient power for the operation of the grist mill and under the management of Harry Fox electric power was installed and is now successfully used at all periods of the year. The catfish of early times were caught out and nearly disappeared. However, big mouth bass still exist there in quite large numbers and many are caught each season. In the year 1916-17 the state stocked the creek with pike-perch but it was not a success for they went downover the falls into the river. The stream should now be restocked with big mouth bass which have thrived there for all these years. Mr. "Hub" Rogers, who was in charge of the grist mill along about 1882, called me one time to see the fish in the flume. He had shut down the headgate and as the water went through the rack it kept the fish in the flume, where we picked out a panful of big mouth bass. During the fall of 1878, I attended a select school at Depauville and boarded with my uncle, William C. ATWOOD, who resided at that time under the bluff, on the place now owned by E. J. Johndrow. That fall an Indian by the name of Peter Cole came in his log canoe or dugout on a trapping expedition and camped on the creek almost directly in front of the house, where the glimmer of his camp fire could be seen in the distance each night. Under the above circumstances it was a pleasure for me to make the acquaintance of an Indian trapper, and to see him handle the log canoe with his paddle was a thrill not to be forgotten. He was about 35 years of age and knew well the art of trapping the "Musquash," as he called the muskrat. Also he caught several mink during the season. For some time I thought of joining him and becoming a mighty trapper. However, my people did not approve of the idea and I remained a student at the "Depauville hillside (blurry) academy," as we called it at that time, and I lost out on my special course of training with the Indian.
