I'm trying to locate a birth record for my ggg-grandfather, Orris/Orrin H. Hoskins. All I have for birth information is 5 May 1786 in CT, so I'm checking with all the CT county mailing lists to see if anyone can help. His name in the probate record (mentioned below) and some land records is variously spelled Orrin, Orris, Orin, Oris, and Hoskins/Haskins. The probate record has it as Orrin H. Hoskins. He was married on 27 Jun 1815 to Mary (b. 19 Mar 1787 in VT), though I don't know where that occurred. They were in Manlius, Onondaga Co., NY by 1816 when their first son was born. Orris/Orrin died there intestate 18 Aug 1826; we haven't been able to locate a death record on him aside from a probate record settling his estate. Any help is appreciated! Deborah Bay Denver, CO
