Occasionally we learn of good folks who undertake the maintenance of cemeteries primarily because the ARE good folks. A year ago, I visited the little Howland Hill cemetery, near Lisle, where my great grandmother, Laura Howland Gibson and three of her children are buried. The Lee family has owned the property for the past half century, and mows and maintains the plot. What a treasure they are.

Hi Vicki, That update was good for us to know about. I noticed the one cemetery that people cared enough to repair the tombstones. I hope that they were very careful as to just how they did it.... I've been reading the stones in the Riverside Cemetery in Oneonta, Otsego Co. (it's oldest cemetery in Oneonta & has most of the early settlers buried there) and many stones...especially old ones... have been repaired but when they were cemented back together, they not only cemented the center and back but they also cemented the front....covering the names and/or dates. That has been so frustrating! I'm sure the company mentioned bebow didn't do that but if anyone is involved with old cemeteries wanting to restore their stones, it's something that they should be aware of. This was not an old abandoned cemetery...it is a cementery that belongs to a church. It was a really good deed, trying to repair the stones but I don't think whoever repaired them realized that they should have tried somehow to preserve the front or at least the information as there are no records for the oldest portion the cemetery. Thanks, Vicki, for always giving us lots of information to keep us abreast of all that is happening.

Is there anyone on the Broome Co NY list who lives in Broome Co. who could tell us what the status is of the old cemeteries in Tracy Creek? Have their burial records been abstracted and published? Is there a caretaker or someone watching out for the cemeteries? Is there a Town Historian for Tracy Creek? If not, what town historian would cover Tracy Creek area? -- Helen Graves (I live in California.)
For all of you that were touched/angered by the story about the old cemetery I sent a link to, you might want to know that some of the cemeteries in our area might be in as bad shape. Town Historians are responsible for cemeteries that are still in use, but I suspect they can only make their limited budgets go so far. Here is part of a note I received from the Lisle historian in the daily flow of things - "The care of old cemeteries should be the responsibility of each town and the historian, as a town official, could take the initiative to see that such care is done. In Lisle, the Odd Fellow's Lodge does the mowing and any other physical maintenance. Other groups could be enlisted to do the same. Of course, some town officials could probably care less. " and farther on in the came letter, sent in 1999 "Last summer, a vandalized cemetery in Whitney Point, NY had the stones repaired by a group that does stone work. All the costs of the repairs was donated, so where there's a will, there's a way. " end of snippets. I don't know the solution to the situation, especially for those of us living so far away. Local people could volunteer to help by recording small unused cemeteries to at least try to save them before they disappear, but for the rest of us.... Vicki
Hi, Broome County mailing list! I thought you might find this Detroit News feature interesting. Check it out. URL: http://detnews.com/2000/wayne/0009/19/d03-122252.htm Regards, Vicki Hall Titus (Brought to you by The staff at Detroit News Online)
It seems like auto notification is OVER notifying of changes. That leaves me with 2 choices until I figure out what is wrong; either pull out the function or transfer something everyday to make sure it really should notify. I'm going to try to put something new in every day... I figure no one will be unhappy about that. <grin> Vicki
Hi, Could someone please let me know how to obtain copies of Declaration od Intention and Naturalization Records for 1850's person living in Broome County? Would thing that the District Court Records, located at the Court House in Broome would have them, but maybe someone else could tell me if this is correct. Jeannette
A friend of mine recently gave me a tip for finding my Richard Hall and I thought I would pass it on and see what the rest of you might think about it. She was reviewing an "Orders" book for her area of research in VA, and starting a lot of entries on bound out children. She knew I was having trouble finding Richard, so she asked if I had ever looked at the orders books for NY. I said no. Problem is, I couldn't find anything like an Orders book for NY courts. We looked through the descriptions of each of the various items and decided that minute books were the closest alternative. We chose the Surrogate court, because that was the one with records about guardianships - at least for the time frame I'm looking for (1855-60). I ordered the book for Delaware Co. NY, where Richard was in that time frame, but I thought I would ask if any of you have tried the same thing? Vicki

Julia TOTTEN at the Hancock Baptist Church, Delaware Co., NY in 1894, where he and his family resided for approx. 20 years. He often traveled to Chenango to visit relatives.

Dear Broome Co. researchers: Just a quick note to let you know that Ancestry.com recently added the Binghamton city directories from 1888-1890 to its online database collection. If you don't have a subscription to Ancestry.com and would like to see if your ancestor appears in this database, drop me a note at spkaye@mtnhome.com and I'll look the name up for you.

Holy Cow!!! What a coincidence!!! I am at the FGS Genealogy Fair in Salt Lake City these past days, and I just went to the Family History Library Center THIS VERY EVENING and did a Census lookup for 1850 and 1840 in Broome County----- This is what I found! ==BEGIN ABSTRACTION 1850 Census Film #017053, Page 196, New York Census, Broome County, Township of Sanford Dwelling # 353, Family Number 355 Henry Row [no 'e' on the end], age 44, Male, Farmer, Real Estate Value of 800, Birthplace of NY, Married within the year is YES Alvira [Row], age 42, Female, born in NY [? was an unclear copy], married within year is YES Seymore [Row], age 19, Male, born in NY, School within year is YES Delos [Row], age 18, Male, born in NY, School within year is YES Handford [Row], age 16, male, born in NY, School within year is YES Homer [Row], age 14, male born in NY, School within year is YES Amanda [Row], age 11, female, born in NY, School within year is YES Wesley [Row], age 5, male, born in NY, School within year is YES Rosa [Row], age 2, female, born in NY, School within year is NO Anna M. Morse, age 14, female, born in NY, School within year is YES Emily A. Morse, age 12, female, born in NY, School within year is YES ====END OF ABSTRACTION I did see the 1840 US Census and found this---- ==BEGIN ABSTRACTION 1840 Census Film #017179, Page 193, New York Census, Broome County, Township of Sanford B. MORSE [I believe this to be Benjamin Brewster Morse, born 11 Jun 1810, 10th child of Jonas Morse] male 20 to 30=1 female under 5 =2 [could these be Anna & Emily?] female 05 to 10 =1 [who is this?] female 30 to 40 =1 [this would be Alvira] [next line] C. MORSE [Cyrus Moore/More Morse---this is my line] Male under 5 = 1 [I believe this is Lewis Benjamin Morse, born 06 Jul 1843] Male 20 to 30 = 1 [I believe this is Cyrus More Morse, born 02 Sep 1812] Female under 5 = 1 [I do not know who this is] Female 05 to 10 = 1 [I beleive this to be Martha Almira Morse] Female 20 to 30 = 1 [I believe this to be Polly Hudson MAY Morse, b 24 May 1811] ====END OF ABSTRACTION I also have a William Lorenzo Morse, which may be the "unknown female" age under 5 years old listed above in 1840 Census. Your query answers some questions I had, namely, why were there two girls with a different name in the middle of a family. I also have the following notes concerning Alvira: 1. She visited Polly Hudson Mayr Morse often when Polly was ill. She also took care of Lewis Benjamin Morse, son of Polly. 2. Benjamin died in Sanford, Broome, New York about 1842 3. Alvira afterward married Mr. Roine/Raine/Rowe in 1862 [obviously wrong because of 1850 Census above], lived in Vallonia Springs, Broome County, New York, called Morseville or Morses Settlement because three brothers Ira, Cyrus, Benjamin lived near 4. Benjamin, son of Jonas, married Alvira Williams in South Bainbridge, Chenango County. 5. Benjamin had a Cooper shop [wooden casks, kegs, tubs]; Ira, his brother, ran a sawmill one mile away. Cyrus was a cabinet maker and woodworker. I am so excited that there is someone else looking into a connected family to mine. I may have more info on this, but I am a bit disorganized while I am reinputting all my data into the computer.... At this point, this is all I have. I did notice a few MORSES in the Broome County Probate Records, and I believe it had to do with guardianship---odd for it to be in probate records. Now that I know a bit of history from you, I will be more cautious on this line or Morses -----Original Message----- From: NetRunner [mailto:netrunner1@socal.rr.com] Sent: Tuesday, September 05, 2000 10:07 PM To: NYBROOME-L@rootsweb.com Subject: RE: NYBROOME-D Digest V00 #67 Importance: High Paul, Getting hold of the coattails of your conversation, have you learned anything about Alvira Williams (b abt 1802), first marriage to a ?

Henry Rowe and other Rowes were clustered in Colesville Twshp, Broome Co. So I assume Alvira and husband Morse were near by in the early 1800s. Alvira married Henry in 1850 so, ? Morse would have died between 1838 and 1850. Don't know where ? Morse was buried but Alvira was buried in the Perch Pond cemetery, Nineveh, Broome Co. NY.

My great grandparents, William Harrison Gibson and Laura Howland, were married January 22, 1837 at Berkshire by a Methodist minister named Brooks. It could have been either Bethuel or his son, Asa. The latter is unlikely, as he was not ordained at that time. The Wyoming conference was unable to help me. Is there someone out there who has an idea where I might find these records? Also, were the Methodist and the Episcopal churches in the Broome county area in some way associated with one another in the early eighteen hundreds?

Paul, Getting hold of the coattails of your conversation, have you learned anything about Alvira Williams (b abt 1802), first marriage to a ? Morse, second marriage to Henry Rowe. Had at least two children by Morse, Anna W. Morse (b abt 1836) and Emily A. Morse (b abt 1838)?? Henry Rowe and other Rowes were clustered in Colesville Twshp, Broome Co. So I assume Alvira and husband Morse were near by in the early 1800s. Alvira married Henry in 1850 so, ? Morse would have died between 1838 and 1850. Don't know where ? Morse was buried but Alvira was buried in the Perch Pond cemetery, Nineveh, Broome Co. NY. I would like to learn more about these people too. I'm tracing the Rowes and their spouse's lineage in Broome and Delaware Co. (for now, but a wider area eventually).
