I have several members in my family tree named IDE. However, they were in Spafford, Onondaga County, NY. My great great grandfather's sister, Mary OLMSTED, married Francis IDE in 1860. He was born in 1837 in Spafford, the son of Henry and Harriet (COLTON) IDE. Henry's parents were Rogers and Ester IDE. I have no birth places or dates for them, except for Ester's death date. Mary OLMSTED was born in Hope, Montgomery CO., NY (north of Fonda and Amsterdam) , so she may have known Francis IDE before her parents removed to Onondaga Co. Other given names were Grant, Francis, Hattie, Hortense, Mary Jane, and Blanche IDE.
