HI I'm the co ordinator from Broome Co. GenWeb. In the GenWeb system, there is a link to a site that lists the various p.o.'s in Broome, along with start and end dates. Here is what it says on Vallonia Springs and Sanitaria Springs: Broome County, New York Postal History Vallonia Springs: April 10, 1838 - November 14, 1903 The Vallonia Springs Post Office was established in Broome County on April 10, 1838. The first postmaster of Vallonia Springs was John M. Newkirk. On November 14, 1903, the Vallonia Springs Post Office was discontinued and began receiving service from Nineveh. Broome County, New York Postal History Sanitaria Springs: March 22, 1892 - Present The Sanitaria Springs Post Office was established on March 22, 1892. Prior to that it was Osborne Hollow. The first postmaster of Sanitaria Springs was Enos H. Odell. The Sanitaria Springs Post Office continues in operation today with a Zip Code of 13836. According to French's Gazeetteer, Vallonia Springs was in the Town of Colesville. That would place it North and to the East of Binghamton. Colesville was created from Windsor NY in 1821. However, the only Gardner on the 1825 census is listed in Windsor, so they might have moved to Colesville from Windsor. The Town's Clerk's office is located in Harpursville. That town is visible on the attached map. It is located on State Route 79, and is very close to the corner formed around Chenango Co.

I have searched my maps and cannot find it. His children were born in Sanitaria Spring and I did find that. I would like to find any info on Alfred Milo Gardner that is possible. I have him married to Eva --- but I'm not sure of her surname, Barber or Martin. If anyone can add to this I would be greatly appreciative. I believe that Alfred's father's name was Charles. > > cheers, > Linda Gardner Call, TX > > > > > ------------------------------------------------------------- > Sign up for ICQmail at http://www.icq.com/icqmail/signup.html > > > ============================== > Search ALL of RootsWeb's mailing lists in real time. > RootsWeb's Personalized Mailing Lists: > http://pml.rootsweb.com/
