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).

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 ?
