Searching for vital statistics and parents of Almira BATES, born probably a little after 1800 and was of Oswego Co NY prior to her marriage ca. 1820 to Thomas SHAFF. They then lived in Oswego until about 1834, having at least 4 children surname SHAFF between 1822 and 1832 (Samuel, Josiah, Rebecca, and Lorenzo Dow). They moved to Milwaukee WI about 1835, husband Thomas drowned the following year, and Almira then married John Douglass in 1838, and moved to Spring Grove (Brodhead), Green Co WI about 1850. She died in 1880 in Green Co. WI. Would appreciate any leads anyone has. Wayne Olsen [email protected]
