Please, do any of you have information on Sidney Center where I am looking for a Henry Rowe, b. 1806; m. Celina Smith. By the "FamilySearch.org" information, they were buried at Perch Pond Hill. Is this a cemetery or a town? Henry died after 1880 census, where he was w/daughter Sally (Briggs) in Kahoka,Clark, Missouri (?) if this is the same Henry. I had thought his death cert. was in Broome Co., NY(?) and the cert. said Peter was his father. Thank you for any reply. Elizabeth

Elizabeth, I have a book Etched in Stone which lists all cemeteries for Sidney, but nothing on Perch Pond, which I've never heard of. I went to the Delaware county site and put that in and it didn't show up anything, but maybe its a mis-spelling. I also looked for Henry Rowe in my book, but nothing on him or his wife. I suggest putting a query on the Delaware County List and checking out the website, www.dcnyhistory.org. Its a great site and you might find what you are looking for. Its also helpful to put a query on the site itself.

Sidney Center is in Delaware County, NY about 6.5 miles east of Sidney. On a modern map you can find it between Sidney and Oneonta a bit south of I-88. I haven't found a reference to a Perch Pond in that vicinity. There is a Perch Pond in the northeast corner of Broome County, NY in the town of Colesville about 4 miles southwest of Afton. The closest towns are Ninevah, Doraville and Bettsburg. A bit further to the west is Harpursville. Perch Pond is about 18 miles from Sidney Center. There is a Henry Row on the 1850 census in Sanford, Broome County (p. 49) age 44 (b. abt 1806) with wife Alivira age 42 and children Seymour, Delos, Handford, Homer, Amanda, Wesley and Rosa. The town of Sanford is just to the east of Colesville. There is also a Peter Row, age 50 (p. 47). He is living with wife Mary and children Hiram, Diadama(?), Benjamin, Peter Jr., Marietta, Jane and Sally age 9. Henry Rowe is in Sanford in 1860 with wife Priscilla age 51 and children Handford, Wesley, Rosy and Salina (p. 163) In 1870 there is just Henry, Alvira and Salina - still living in Sanford (p. 59) Henry and Alvira are still going strong in 1880, again in Sanford (p. 9) I also found Sally Briggs (no spouse) in Kakoka, Lincoln, Clark Co, MO on the 1880 census (p. 11), age 39 with children Jenni, Dora (or Nora), Lloyd and Peter Rowe (father) age 80. Both Sally Briggs and Peter Rowe were born in NY. ----- Original Message ----- From: <ECromer1@aol.com> To: <NY-CENTRA-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Saturday, January 22, 2005 7:55 AM Subject: [NYCENTRAL] Sidney Center, Delaware Co.NY > Please, do any of you have information on Sidney Center where I am looking > for a Henry Rowe, b. 1806; m.
