Henry Wager, Asa Beckwith and his sons, Asa, Jr., Lemuel, Reuben and Wolcott, came to the Mohawk country in 1789..." In particular, I am seeking any info on an Eliza Beckwith born ca 1832 who married Willis Fenton and lived in the Town of Lee, Oneida Co., NY. Any info regarding the early history of the Beckwith family in this area of New York or their origins and or a connection with the above Eliza Beckwith Fenton would be much appreciated.
