Looks like only accessing the NY State census is going to solve this problem. Have always had Ovid/Obed and Ory/Ora as born about 1816-17 and think the 1900 census birthdate is incorrect for July 1821(a brother Ira was born in 1821). Will look for NY state censuses that can confirm more info--have one for Ovid/Obed-for 1855 and need to find Ory/Ora's for 1855 and 1865. Keep hoping someone will come up with the death date of Ovid--may have gone to another state with one of his children. Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
