Hello, We are (at present) most interested in identifying the parentage of my husband's great - great - grandmother, a woman who was known by several variations of her given (or "first") name. Here is what we currently know about her, followed by what we know of James HAIGHT (her presumed father). **************** Birth (& given name): Her (presumed) father's Bible gives her (Ann Mariah Haight's) birth date as 29 May 1814 . The 1850 census says she (Marie Ann) was 33 years old (birth year abt 1817), born in New York. 1855 Census says she (Ann) was age 41 (birth year abt 1814), wife, resident 16 years, b. Madison. In the 1880 census her son Charles’ information indicates that she (Maria) was born in New York. Misc. & Census Data: · December 1837 - Fenner, Madison County, New York is the residence cited on her marriage documentation. · In 1838 she was a member of the Methodist Church of Cazenovia, Madison County, New York. · In the 1850 census for Sullivan, Chittenango Township (Madison County, New York) theirs was dwelling #110 and family #124. The members of this household were: Hiram Hall - 43 - farmer - born in Connecticut -property valued #3,500 Marie Ann Hall - 33 - born in New York James White - 15 - farmer - born in New York - attended school within past year Lucy M. Hall - 8 - Born in New York - attended school within past year James Malone - 30 - farmer - born in Ireland · 1855 (Madison County, New York) Census: Hiram, age 48, resident for 40 years, b. CT. Farmer. Ann, age 41, wife resident 16 years, b. Madison; Lucy, age 12, child resident 12 years, b. Madison; Charles, age 3, child, resident 3 years, b. Madison July 18, 1855 Death: Her daughter was born after the (summer?) 1855 census. It is possible that the mother died in or from complications from childbirth. "Hall, Anna Maria, wife of Hiram Hall" is buried with Rebecca (wife of James) Haight, their spinster daughter Amana Haight and two other unidentified individuals (illegible names on tombstones) in Haight Cemetery (a.k.a. Bacon Farm). This is the farm owned by James & Rebecca Haight. Both Rebecca and Amana appear on a list of members of the Methodist Church of Cazenovia, during the same time frame. Their relationship to Anna Maria Haight (Mrs. Hiram Hall) is unknown, but it appears that this was her mother (Rebecca) & sister (Amana). **************** James Haight (1776 - 1839) married Rebecca Slater (1774 - 1859). Their parents are unknown. James was "of" Mt. Pleasant, Westchester Co., NY.. In about 1803 the Haights bought an existing farm and settled down, on what is now (1997) known as the Bacon Farm, in Madison County, New York. He worked as both a blacksmith and as a farmer.
