Thank you, Robert. Yes, the Ide family of Saratoga County and later, Troy is well documented but there is no evidence that my Ides and those Ides are related. I have contacted many of the living Ides in the Troy family with no luck at finding a connection. The two families use several of the same names (Harris, Orrin), but that could simply be a coincidence.

In the 1830 census for Sand Lake, there were three Ide families: Timothy, Nathan and Daniel. I am seeking information about these families. My ancestor was Harris T. Ide who was born in Rensselaer County, NY on October 21, 1821 and I am trying to tie him to one of these families.
