Dear List, Looking for anyone researching this name. Believe it should be FORKNER (but the n could be an h) Have a photograph given to me (I collect old photos for the clothing) of a women dressed in 1870's clothing with the name penciled Mrs. Maria FORKNER. The photographers name and address: E. Murphy & Bro. 53 Court St. Binghamton, NY Any ideas on the time period this photographer was in business? There is a hand cancelled, red 2cent stamp on the back also. Thanks, Sheila German

Looking for a Valentine Lockwood most likely born in Ulster County, NY but resided in Binghamton NY. Valentine was probably born between 1800-1813 toJesse Lockwood and Mary Polly Dudley. No information is known about Valentine but am hoping there is a Lockwood descendant of his out there! Thanks!! Michele R. Lockwood

The Town of Galen NY is in Wayne Co. It isn't on many maps. The Village of Clyde is in Galen.

I am looking for two towns which I think are in Broome County. The first is Langdon's Corners. I am wondering if it was connected to Langdon, NY, or if Langdon was once called Langdon's Corners. I have Paul Langdon born there in 1739, and Benjamin Langdon born there in 1805. The second place is Galen. I've found Galena on the map in Broome County and am wondering if it is the same place, or if possibly Galen was written by mistake for Galena. I have Ira Langdon born there in 1837. Anybody know anything? Thanks. cmc

Hi, I'm new to this list and I'm just wondering if anyone can help me. Does anyone know the address of the Binghamton Fire Company? My great-grandfather, Patrick J. Houlihan was a retired fireman there, & I'd like to request information about him. Also, does anyone know if there are city directories for Binghamton & how I can obtain copies? I'd like to see if I can locate Patrick & his family during the 1920's & 1930's. Thanks, C. Loftus zephyr@epix.net

Subject: [NYSCHOHA-L] Rowe Family Date: Tue, 24 Aug 1999 07:48:47 -0600 From: Timothy Brown <tjbyya@uswest.net> To: NYSCHOHA-L@rootsweb.com Listers, In response to the recent discussion about the Roe/Rowe family, to which I have not paid close attention, I wanted to remind folks of the Rowe family genealogy books - two of them - by Frank Roe, which may provide some clues. Unfortunately my copies are in storage. As to the legends around Indian blood in the Roe/Rowe family, this has been a tradition passed on in my branch of the family as well. My grandmother says that a g-uncle back or two, named Smith as I recall, married an Indian princess. I have never been able to substantiate this claim and have wondered if it is just a "family legend." Frank Roe, the book author, had done some research in Jefferson, New York, but was unable to document it, either. Also, a small note about town boundaries. Someone living in Broome and later Gilboa may not have moved at all. Gilboa was formed in 1848, the eastern part from Broome and Western part from Blenheim. Timothy Brown Greeley, Colorado

My Mom got this info. from a Nellie Rowe. > and Mabel Rowe, Helen Helen: There are several Jehoiakim BURGHARDTs/BURGETTs of various generations in my current database!! What does the 1802 date signify--birth, marriage, death; and what additional information does your mother have about him? Yes, my ancestor, Jehoiakim6 BURGHARDT, and a Hendrick BURGHARDT were listed as Heads of Household in the 1790 Federal Census for Kortright, Montgomery Co., NY and the 1800 Federal Census for Kortright, Delaware Co., NY [the county structure had changed between 1790 and 1800]. My Jehoiakim6 had a brother named Hendrick, and I believe that the above were brothers. I could not find Hendrick after the 1800 census. He either migrated elsewhere or died after that census. There were BURGHARDTs to the west in Lisle, Broome Co., NY afterward; but I have not researched them yet. The name, Jehoiakim, came down through the VAN VALKENBURG family. The parents of my Jehoiakim were Conrad5 BURGHARDT and Judith VAN VALKENBURG; and the paternal grandparents were Hendrick4 BURGHARDT and Eve VAN VALKENBURG. Judith and Eve were cousins. To be continued...... Milbrey Otto Burgett mottob@att.net

Helen: YES, it is potentially VERY MEANINGFUL!!!! Conrad BURGET, an early town official in Davenport, Delaware Co., NY [ca. 1815] who m. Huldah ROWE [who presumably was b. in Schoharie], d. 3 Feb 1819 [age 40] and was buried in the SMITH Family Burying Ground in the Davenport area. When I went to site for the SMITH Family Burying Ground on the Delaware Co., NY USGenWeb, Conrad was the only non-SMITH buried there!!!! I was seeking a connection between the BURGET/SMITH families in this area, and this is probably it. If there is a date available for the marriage of Hermance SMITH and Kate BURGETT, it could tell us that perhaps Kate BURGETT might have been either a sister or daughter of Conrad BURGETT. I am researching the possibility that Conrad BURGET was one of the older sonS of the Hendrick BURGHARDT/BURGET listed as a Head of Household in the 1790 Federal Census in Kortright, Montgomery Co., NY and the 1800 Federal Census in Kortright, Delaware Co., NY. I also believe that Hendrick BURGET to have been a younger brother of my ancestor, Jehoiakim BURGHARDT, Sr. Both Hendrick and Jehoiakim served in the 9th Regiment of the Albany Co., NY Militia.
