Hi, I am sorry. Pultneyville, NY, is part of the township of Williamson, Wayne Co. Originally it was part of the County of Ontario until 1823 when the county of Wayne was formed. -------Original Message------- From: gsc Date: 05/25/07 09:12:05 To: cooper@rootsweb.com Subject: Re: [COOPER] Coopers of Pultneyville What state ? ----- Original Message ----- From: "Pauline Harper" <perils@earthlink.net> To: <cooper@rootsweb.com> Sent: Friday, May 25, 2007 6:49 AM Subject: Re: [COOPER] Coopers of Pultneyville > Good Morning, I have been to the Historians office many, many times.
