    1. [CHASE-L] Need Info re Quaker Meetings/Farmington
    2. Barb and Don
    3. Hi all, Have found some interesting info that some may not know: There was a Quaker Census of NY 1828. Now for info I need, if someone would help. In that census, it shows my Benj6 or Ben. Jr.) at Williamson Farmington Monthly Meeting Wayne Co. NY w/ Lydia & 6 minors.(This info would be correct as to wife Lydia Macy and they would of had 6 minors at that time). I could never figure why Benj5 (or JR as referred to in the Quaker info you found before............), went to Farmington per records,cause he actually lived in Sodus, NY but..........at that time, Farmington was the place where they had the quarterly & yrly meetings.Apparently, at lst there was no meeting house at Sodus. Also Williamson being right next to Sodus, they may have more or less considered the 2 towns under 1 heading , ie, Sodus/Williamson. Farminginton is in Ontario Co, and Sodus and Williamson in Wayne Co. BUT, at that time, Farmington and Sodus were both in ONTARIO Co. Not sure abt. Williamson. (THIS INFo fr. talking to the Farmington,NY HISTORIAN today). I know that Lydia Macy (Benj6's) wife per the info that was found earlier under the Quaker records, stated: " Benj. Chase Jr s Benjamin & Hehitable Chatham 2nd w Lydia Macy dt. Simeon & Lucretia m. 5-2-1821, Ghent Ch: 5 (See Chatham) Cert of clear fr. Chatham Cert to Chatham 11-23-1821 for Lydia." I assume this means that she was cleared to go to Chatham. Correct???? Wouldn't these Chatham records show clearance for Benj Jr and Lydia to go to Farmington???? Wonder if anyone can find them???? Am hoping that someone can go into these records (both the Chatham and Farmington, Ontario Co.) and find out what further info you can find on Benj6), wife Lydia Chase, and their 6 minors. Minors I have are Elizabeth A. b. 20 Oct. 1822, Henry M. b. 24 Feb. 1824, John F. Bacon b. 18 Jan 1825, d. 2 May 1831 (d. abt 5 yrs old - in case he's missing), Gelina L. b. 26 July 1827, Durfee. b. 8 June 1829, Susan, b. 20 June 1831, d. 6 April 1847, Lucretia M. b. 6 Nov. 1836 Eva, b. 23 Aug. 1840 I am particularly interested in when and where they died,--- Benj 5 d. 20 Mar. 1826 , where????? Chatham or Sodus??? 1st w. Eliz Durfee, b.12 July 1735, d. abt 1776, dt. of Job and Elizabeth (CHASE) Durfee.........someone may have this info in their records on Eliz .... Durfee--- would like the mo. and day and definite yr. of her death and WHERE??? Benj 6 d. 1867, what date, and where???, might even be Roch as there was a meeting hs. in E. Henrietta ares, Benj 6 or Benj Jr., d. 1867, need mo. and day & where? ????? Sodus or Rochester, no records in Roch. that I've been able to find and w. Lydia Macy, I have sh e d. 7 Oct 1866, but where??? ALL THIS INFO IS IN NY State!!!!! I did come across Benj5's will on net, but just the listing, not the will itself. Under NYS Will Testators, under Columbia Co. Will, Chase, Benj, Chatham NY 11 E 152, in case anyone can find any info on this.........which I doubt. I WANT THIS WILL, NEEDLESS TO SAY! I wrote Columbia Co, Chatham historian, sure hope and am sure I did, put this in that request.....had to write a letter........so hope she w/get it for me. I found a Case (Chase?) Farm Cem and a Durfee Farm Cem in Sodus, but no listing on line. Will have to call the Town Office on this, I guess. Wonder if it is possible that the Case is Chase, cause I heard Benj 5 gave land to Sodus for the meeting house, which I do't know where it is or the cemeteries. MANY DURFEES in my Chase line, so Ben could even be buried in Durfee Farm Cem, or the ?Chase one. Maybe someone of the Durfee line above could also help me. Many Durfees in Palmyra. Many Macy's still in Ghent, per historians. I HAVEN'T joined Ancestry.com cause I put a TONNNNNN of stuff on their tree, and then I found out that they think THEY OWN yr. info, and I CERTAINLY DON'T want that, so not gonna join, at least till I get my info off and into a program.........!!!! (Some goes bk 16 generations). I AM VERY HAPPY TO SHARE with ALL and many have found their way to my email and have been more than happy to help them ..........alot tie into my line so I'm able to., BUT I don't want anyone to OWN my info..........who knows..........someday I might write a book.......lol.....! Think I've already written one!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Think that's all for now............!!!!!!! Thanks so much for any help. It's more ghtan greatly appreciated. By the way, for Jeffrey.........., the Chatham Raysville Cemetery Assoc., where Benj's brother and family Cornelius are buried, say that their records show that Eunice Barnard was m. to Elijah Cornell in the Meeting House at Chatham.......!
