Balcom, such as ancestors and descendants? Thank you. Gary
Gary, I have some Balcom families from Kent Co., Michigan and they came from New York and with connections from Conn. also. I do not exactly know your name, but would be willing to share and see if we could connect them somewhere. Please let me know. Have you checked out the Balcom site on the internet which has quite a lot of information on it?

Excerpt from the History of Wyoming Co., NY "The first frame tavern with barn, barroom, ballroom, and beds was erected and installed at Covington Centre by DANIEL BALCOM in 1817. There pleasure seekers "tripped the light fantastic toe" in rather heavy boots while on Sunday, in the same assembly room, Elders William True, Milard and Badger exhorted sinners to repentance. Daniel Balcom was succeeded by James Norris, brother of Mark, in the tavern. " (James Norris was my ancestor) He resided in the town of Covington, Genesee Co., NY which is now part of Wyoming Co.
