Even if you don't find your ancestors mentioned, the articles are worth reading for the historical interest. http://www.usgennet.org/usa/ny/county/niagara/news/ BTW, I found the announcement of probate for my 3x great-grandfather, Lemuel Lee CLARK, a descendant of William CLARK of Haddam, in the New York newspaper clippings!..
