    3. I've been searching this family in Broome County for a while and have run into a wall. Francis Rulison (my gg grandfather) is listed in Conklin Forks (census, newspaper notes) through at least 1896. He also appears in the city directories from 1900-1906, living at 31 Margaret Street. Neither he nor his wife Deborah are listed in the 1907 directory, but Deborah is listed in the 1908 and 1909 Directories at 31 Margaret Street, as "wid of Frank". She died in 1910 (I have the obituary, and have seen the interment record at Floral Park). Francis's Grave Marker says died 1907, but the interment record says September 1910. Anybody have a suggestion as to where to go next? I suppose I could read the newspapers for the entire year 1907, but I'd like find a quicker route to his death certificate. Here's what I know in general: Subject __ ___ ____ Francis RULISON Birth __ ___ 1829 NY. Marriage 03 Feb 1854 Deborah C. MEEKER Son: c__ ___ 1855 Nelson James RULISON; NY. Son: c__ ___ 1857 Elisha S.

Milit-End 14 May 1865 Muster out Milit-Note Jan 1866 Francis Rulison listed in Conklin Forks, Broome County, NY receiving a pension of $24 per month for a gun shot wound to the right thigh since January 1866 on certificate # 56,779.

I have quite a bit on the Meaker/Meeker line and the Rulison family in Broome County that I can share. Bob
