The records from Greenwood revealed that Angeline's brother silas L. served in the war. The information was incomplete, but it identified him as a son of Ebenezer King. Adjoining towns were next searched, and in West Union I hit the jackpot! The town clerk completed every requested data item including complete birth date, birth place and parents, as well as military service information for Angeline's brother Edgar B. He was born 21 March 1826 in Trumansburg, Tompkins County, New York, whereas before I had an "about 1825" birth date based on census records. Only an imaginary line divides Trumansburg from Covert. Edgar was listed as the son of Ebenezer M. King and Elizabeth Jaycox! No longer do I have a "surname unknown" for the mother of my third great-grandmother, Angeline King. Extensive direct research on Elizabeth or Betsy had been fruitless. Coming in the side door provided the needed information. Now I need to find the parents of Elizabeth Jaycox! ________________________________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free E-mail from MSN Hotmail at http://www.hotmail.com
