I plan on checking out that Troy Irish genealogy website. I do believe my Harris Ide was connected to the Ides you mention, but have not yet found the connection. The Troy Ides have been well documented, but there is no mention of Harris. I have written to many of the Ides currently living in the area and have gotten encouraging feedback but no evidence of the connection. My Ide family used several of the names that the Troy Ide family used: Orrin and Athel. And they lived in the same area of NY. Those are my clues. The early Ides living in Rensselaer County were Nathan (b. 9-24-1776) and his wife Pervida; Timothy Ide (1820 census); Daniel Ide (1830 census). > > It is indeed a mystery, and I have been stuck for some time. > > Regards, > Linda Wagner > > > > [Original Message] > > From: Bill & Cathy McGrath <seamus@nycap.rr.com> > > To: <GEN-NYS-L@rootsweb.com> > > Date: 11/22/2005 7:38:03 PM > > Subject: Re: Harris Ide, born 10-21-1821 Rensselaer County, NY > > > > Hello Linda: > > > > The Ide name was very prominent in the Troy NY Area. > > > > Two Ide's, George Peck Ide and William Ide are mentioned in two of the data > > bases (Troy Banks and Prominent Citizens of Troy & Rensselaer County) on the > > Troy Irish Genealogy website: > > > > http://www.rootsweb.com/~nytigs/ > > > > Also, the book Troy's 100 Years published in 1891 has the following Ide > > names in the index: > > > > Alba M, Ide > > George P.
