There are a lot of Seventh Day Baptists that migrated from New London Co CT and Washington Co RI to Alfred NY and points west. Here is an obit from the SDB rootsweb list: "The Sabbath Recorder", Vol 38, No 16, p 5, Apr. 20, 1882. In the town of Alfred, Allegany Co., N. Y., April 12, 1882, Mrs. Huldah Bliven Sisson, wife of George Sisson, aged 77 years. She was born in Rhode Island. and married there fifty six years ago, and soon after came to Alfred, where she has resided ever since. She obtained hope in Christ under the labors of Eld. John Green, and by him was baptized, and received into the First Alfred Church, where, as Christian, wife, mother, and friend, she has long been known and loved. Her death was sudden, but she was ready. She has left an aged husband, and three sons and three daughters, with hope that death to her is gain. C. M. L. " There are many obits documented for Babcocks, Kenyons, Greens, Harveys, and other families from the Westerly and Stonington areas that are mentioned on the SDB list. I think if anyone knew that their ancestors migrated west from the Westerly/Stonington area and they thought that they might be SDBs, the SDB list might be big help. Charlie King gg grandson of Joseph Loomer Thompson born 1821 someplace in New London Co died 1887 in North Stonington ___________________________________________________________________ Speed up your surfing with Juno SpeedBand.
