I'm trying to locate living male Warren direct descendants of Henry B. Warren, son of Adriel Warren, descendant of James Warren of Maine who have family information and/or would join the Warren Project through Family Tree DNA. I've been researching my Warren line for over 20 years and believe we are related to the Adriel Warren line. My mother was Georgia Helen Warren, born in Salina KS in 1919, dau of George Henry Warren b. Kansas 1892, son of David Alexander Warren b. Iowa 1864, son of George Henry Warren b. 1834 Erie Co PA, son of Peletiah Morrell Warren b. ca 1786 Maine, son (I believe) of Adriel Warren b. 1752 in Maine. I believe that Henry B. Warren, born Cazenovia, NEW YORK in 1803, (son of Adriel Warren), is the younger brother of Peletiah Morrell Warren. I have been trying to locate any concrete evidence of the connection between Henry and Peletiah and their four sisters whose names are unknown to me. From review of information known about Adriel Warren, it is unknown where he was after the 1800 census in Herkimer, NY, where he is shown with a son and four daughters. He seems to have disappeared as no one that I'm aware of has documented him anywhere after this 1800 census. However, I believe I have located him in the 1840 census in Ohio with his son Peletiah. I believe that Adriel is the father of my Peletiah Morrell Warren. I have not been able to locate Peletiah or Adriel in an 1810 census anywhere in the U.S. (so obviously names must have been misspelled or ommited). Peletiah was old enough to be on his own but I have not been able to locate him in the 1810 census. He married in 1813 to Betsey Benson in Onondaga Co NY and they lived there until at least 1823 when daughter Ann Sophia Warren was born, (with 3 other children born in Onondaga prior to that). I have noted in my research that Henry B. Warren remembered living in Onondaga at some time in his life before leaving home. In the 1820 census for Onondaga, Pompey, Peletiah M Warren is shown,200110101. The 2 males to age 10 would be Adriel Monroe and William Peletiah. The 1 male 16-26 COULD BE Henry B. Warren age 17 at the time. (Note earlier reference that Henry B. stated he had lived in Onondaga) The 1 male 26-45 would be Peletiah Warren. The 1 female to age 10 would be Polly Arestine. The 1 female 16-26 is Betsey Benson Warren. Thus far, no one that I know of has been able to locate Adriel Warren in the 1810, 1820 or 1830 census. I don't have the answer to this. But in 1840, Wayne Co Ohio, Baughman TWP Peletiah Warren appears. We know that he left Onondaga and was on the move after 1823 as he and wife had dau Jane Marie in Pembroke, NY in 1825 and Julia Lorett born in 1831 in Pembroke, Genesee County. In 1831, Temandra Thirza was born in Springfield, Erie, PA and in 1834 George Henry Warren (my gg grandfather) was born in Erie Co PA. In 1838, Loren Lonza was born in Wayne Co, OH. In 1840, Peletiah Warren is found in the Census for Wayne Co, Baughman Twp. There is a male age 80-90 in the HH with his family. I believe this to be Peletiah's father Adriel Warren, who was born in 1752. For the 1850 census, I have found no record of either Peletiah or Adriel, but by 1860, Peletiah's wife Betsey is in Iowa with her daughter and son-in-law (Sayles) in Henry Co Iowa. My gg grandfather, George Henry Warren, is in the same town living with another (Sayles) household. I recently asked my uncle, age 93, and our last surviving male Warren, to do the DNA testing through Family Tree DNA. There are currently 30 members in the Warren DNA Project. This link will take you to the home page http://www.familytreedna.com/. This link will take you to the Warren Project page http://www.familytreedna.com/public/warren/. My uncle's results are shown under Peletiah Morrell Warren...currently after 25 markers, we do not have a match with anyone. I would very much like to locate male direct descendants of Henry B. Warren (or James Warren line) who would join this project and do the DNA testing. My mother passed away in 1982. Her brother age 93, and her two sisters in their 80's are all alive and live in Kansas. It would mean a lot to me after so many years...to be able to tell my uncle and two aunts where their Warren roots started from. Appreciate any replies or leads on this line.

The following was posted today (Monday, October 31) to the New York Historians list by Albany County Historian, John N. Travis (JTravis@ALBANYCOUNTY.COM): Not to take anything away from Rosa Park's heroic stand, but a hundred yrs before her Elizabeth Jennings made a similar determined stand on principle. An organist at the First Colored Congregational Church in NYC, Elizabeth Jennings boarded a bus (a large horse-drawn carriage) on July 16, 1854 to go to church. In those years, "buses" were designated White only, Colored Persons Allowed or, as in Jennings' case, no sign and the decision was left up to the drivers' whims. Whims that were enforced by the whips the drivers carried. According to the New York Tribune, "...the conducter undertook to get her off, first alleging the car was full; when this was shown to be false, he pretended that the other passengers were displeased by her presence; but when she insisted on her rights, he took hold of her by force to expel her." Asserting that she was a respectable person, Elizabeth called him a good-for-nothing impudent fellow for insulting decent persons on their way to church. The Tribune notes "The conductor got down on the platform, jammed her bonnet, soiled her dress and injured her person....with the aid of a policeman they succeeded in removing her. As with Rosa Parks, massive protest rallies followed. Jennings took the Railway Company to court. Judge William Rockwell ruled in her favor, saying "Colored people , if sober, welll-behaved and free of disease, had the same rights as others and could neither be excluded by any rules of the Company, nor by force or violence." She was awarded $500 in damages. The next day, the Third Avenue Railway Company issued an order to admit African-Americans to their buses. Elizabeth Jennings married Charles Graham. Sadly, their one-yr old son, Thomas, died amidst the New York City Draft Riots brought on by the 1863 Conscription Act. Soliciting the help of a white undertaker, she had the boy buried in Greenwood Cemetery in Brooklyn. Elizabeth Jennings Graham died in 1901. But her legacy lives on in Rosa Parks. As Rosa Parks wrote "People always say that I didn't give up my seat because I was tired, but that wasn't true...No, the only tired I was, was tired of giving in." OH, YEAH - ELIZABETH JENNINGS LAWYER WAS A YOUNG 24-YR OLD ATTORNEY NAMED CHESTER A. ARTHUR, FUTURE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES. CHESTER ARTHUR IS BURIED IN THE ALBANY RURAL CEMETERY. Excerpted from: Get on the Bus - 150 Years after Elizabeth Jennings by Mickey Z. (Counterpunch Newsletter - 7/21/2004) I hope this information is useful or, at least, interesting.

My grandmother did a lot of great genealogy work, but I'm still trying to confirm that this family group existed as shown below, and if it did, who were the parents of the father, Reuben, and when and where was Reuben born? What was Dorcas' maiden name? Here's what Grandma wrote: Children of Reuben and Dorcas (_) IRONS: Levi Emer James Stephen Orlando Reuben John F (my great great grandfather, born 1811) Abagail Clarisa Phoebe This family may have lived in Otsego County NY, possibly near Hartwick, and the parents Reuben and Dorcas may have been born in Rhode Island. Other info leads me to believe that John F did indeed have a brother Orlando, as John F and Orlando jointly purchased land in Hartwick, Otsego County, NY in 1834. In 1834 John F married in Hartwick a girl born in Hartwick. In 1835 John F sent a letter from Cazenovia NY to his wife and newborn child back in Hartford "via Orlando". A Hartwick historian once wrote "Asa, John and Reuben Irons, probably brothers, came from Rhode Island in 1793 and leased land for farming". One of those 3 might be my ancestor...but which one? Censuses did not help at all, as all IRONSes in the 1820 census of NY had at least 1 male child under 10. Any info on this family group and parents thereof greatly appreciated.

ANNOUNCING NEW DATABASE: DEATHS REPORTED IN TROY, NY CITY DIRECTORIES This message is being sent to: Rensselaer County List Troy Irish Genealogy Society List Albany County List Saratoga County List Schenectady County List Genealogy-NYS List Irish-NY-Troy List NY Irish List Chenango County List NY-Hudson River List NY-Old-News List NY-Rollcall List NY-Mohawk-Valley List NY-Warren-Washington-Saratoga County List The message can be forwarded to other lists where you feel it would be appropriate. If posted to any other lists, please copy me at: seamus@nycap.rr.com If you are researching relatives with a TROY, NY area connection, you will be interested in this new on-line, name searchable, data base of over 700 names of Troy Area residents who died in 1901-1902. This information was extracted from Troy City Directories and information covers not only Troy but also data from the Watervliet/Green Island and Cohoes/Waterford sections of the City Directory. Anyone who has ever used City Directories as a genealogy research tool appreciates the wealth of information available in these books. Starting with the 1902 Troy City Directory, this data base was a first step by the Troy Irish Genealogy Society to capture this information and portray it in a name searchable format that could be used by researchers who do not have access to Troy City Directories. It should be noted that these records, like all the TIGS data bases, cover the general population in the area and are NOT restricted to Irish surnames. The information in this data base may include, in addition to the name of the individual: Date of death. Name of surviving spouse. Name of deceased spouse. Occupation of deceased and name of employer. Street address and city of residence of deceased. As time permits, data in subsequent years of the City Directories will be added to the on-line records on the TIGS website. You can view these records by going to the TIGS website located at: Troy Irish Genealogy Society website http://www.rootsweb.com/~nytigs/ and click on TIGS PROJECTS. We invite you to explore the TIGS website where you will find local history articles, resources and genealogy research tips as well as several data bases and a number of interesting Troy Area photographs. Also, you can search your surnames in the following additional records automated by TIGS members and other volunteers: Burden Iron Company Steam Mill Payroll Records. (8,236 names) Troy Area Marriage Records. (1,448 names) Troy Area Death Records. (6,031 names) Index-History of the Troy Police Department. (668 names) Bank Officers in Troy Banks From 1801-1891. (299 names) Prominent Citizens of Troy, NY & Rensselaer County. (1,800 names) These data bases are part of a continuing effort by the Troy Irish Genealogy Group to make available on line, Troy area records, that may be of interest to genealogy researchers, especially those outside the Troy area.

More information has been added to the Yates Co. site, for biographies of Starkey and a section of the Friend's Society, as well. Many of the names of families may pertain also to the surrounding counties of Yates, such as Ontario and Steuben counties. Dianne http://www.usgennet.org/usa/ny/county/yates/

Are the records of his military service in the National Archives? That might say something if there was proof that he had died. There also could be pension payments made for minor children. That would include proof that the veteran had died. My ggrandfather was in the Civil War. He died in 1896, when my grandfather was 9. Since there was a minor child my ggrandmother got an allowance for my grandfather till he was 16.

Does anyone have any knowledge of what would have been required in order for a woman whose husband disappeared in the Civil War to remarry? I think the second marriage occurred in Orange County, NY. A family Bible says the date was 1868 and that the first husband, who enlisted in 1861 or 1862 was never heard of after 1864. Would there be a record somewhere declaring him dead so she could remarry? (I'm hoping that something like that exists and would have more information about the first husband, my husband's gggf, than I've found so far).

Just a commentary- I was actually the photographer for that article and went on a tour of the remnants of the old Parkway with Byrne and Berliner on account of it- much of the road has become overgrown in Nassau County and is currently owned by LIPA, who have been somewhat...obstinant in helping them preserve the old road and convert it and put it to good use. (It's actually kinda funny how many of the old toll lodges are now lived-in houses, converted rather cleverly.) Just wanted to put my two cents in, as a genealogist and not as a reporter, that Berliner and Byrne are doing good work, and that any bit of encouragement that they can get is a good thing. (Berliner maintains a webpage at _http://home.att.net/~berliner-ultrasonics/limtrpwy.html_ (http://home.att.net/~berliner-ultrasonics/limtrpwy.html) ) -Brian Van Sise

According to today's NEWSDAY (Monday, October 24), "2 preservationists have been working to turn Motor Parkway’s original pavement into bike and hiking paths." NEWSDAY continues, "Denis Byrne and Sam Berliner III recently walked along a Long Island Power Authority right of way in Manhasset Hills, ignoring the row of utility poles and fences delineating residents' backyards. They were focused on the broken asphalt poking up through the ground. 'Under all this muck,' said Berliner of Glen Head, 'you can see the original paving.' That's the pavement remaining from William K. Vanderbilt Jr.'s groundbreaking Long Island Motor Parkway, the first reinforced-concrete, high-speed, limited-access highway built in the United States."

NEW YORKERS AND THE MILITARY: From the Colonial Era through World War II Following the wonderful success of its first Saratoga conference, which through a ground-breaking program brought together genealogists, historians, and archivists to share with each other research information, techniques, and social history on New York in the Nineteenth Century, the NYG&B, in cooperation with the New York State Archives and genealogical societies of the Capital District and Saratoga area, is again presenting this all-important mix in another exciting, two-day program this November. Titled New Yorkers and the Military, this conference is intended to initiate as well as enhance the knowledge of researchers seeking records of New Yorkers who served in the military units or in related areas, as well as provide insight into the personal experience of military history and life. NEW YORKERS AND THE MILITARY: From the Colonial Era through World War II A Conference for Genealogists and Historians November 10 ­ 12, 2005 The conference will cover the time period from the colonial militia of the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, the state militia/national guard, and the major wars from the American Revolution up through World War II. Discussions will be offered not only on how to find service, pension, personnel, and draft records of soldiers, sailors, officers, and various support personnel, but there will be presentations about New York¹s history as impacted by things military, both in war and peace time. And to put an individual or group of interest in historical context, you will have the opportunity to learn what is was like to be a soldier‹in the Revolutionary War, the Civil War, World War I. Our plan in joining the forces of genealogists and historians is for all to share in the research and results of exploring New York¹s military history, with a focus on sources at the local, state, and federal levels. The NYG&B enthusiastically supports the recent (and growing) trend of the two disciplines of family historians seeking to ³put flesh² on the bones of their ancestors by learning the social history of their forbears, and of historians learning more and more about the records and techniques that have long been the mainstay of genealogists and how to apply them to their work. Our featured speaker, Marie Varrelman Melchiori, CGRS, CGL, is a full-time professional genealogist specializing in Union and Confederate records held at the National Archives, Washington, D.C. Certified Genealogical Record SpecialistSM and Certified Genealogical LecturerSM by the Board for Certification of Genealogists, she received a BS in Nursing from Rutgers University and was awarded the Association of Professional Genealogists Graham T. Smallwood Award of Merit in 1999. Our program will begin with a welcome wine and cheese reception Thursday evening, followed by two days of lectures, two luncheons with speakers, and a Friday evening banquet. Scheduled Speakers and Lectures * Michael Aikey, Director, New York State Military Museum and Veterans Research Center: Genealogical Resources in the New York State Military Museum * Bob Bearor, Author, Historian, French & Indian War specialist: The Battle on Snowshoes * Leslie Corn, MA, FGBS, professional genealogist, lecturer: and Roger D.

I was just re-reading some of the information that I have on my family surname (LANCTO-LANCTOT-LONCTO) and discovered this piece of info. It seems he was killed in Malone, NY. I was wondering if anyone had any further info and if this was in the newspaper. If someone can access the newspapers on Ancestry.com.. I would appreciate it. (My computer isnt that great and trying to view the newspapers section is impossible at the moment..) OR, if anyone can tell me if the RR keeps reports or info??
