I am researching this family and attempting to trace back, my one clue is the birth place of Dennis Jr which came from his enlistment papers. Dennis Sr was born in Maine or New York depending on which reference you use. His wife Mary Briggs was born in Vermont or New York again depending on who is telling the birth place. I would like to know where one might find records in Cattaraugus Co., New York and what records one might find for the era 1837 and on. This family were all foudn in Fond du Lac, WI in 1850. What was the reason for migration during this time period? Descendants of Dennis Freeman 1 Dennis Freeman b: Abt. 1789 in Maine d: Bef.
