Surnames: Dart & Covel Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/RRB.2ACE/5968 Message Board Post: Gr.grandfather Freeman Horis Dart,b.5/17/1839 in Chautauqua Co. parents might be James Dart & Anna Covel both born in N.Y. Possible brother is Elias Randal Dart b. 7/4/1843 in N.Y. Both leave N.Y and are found in Paulding Co. Ohio in 1860s and enter Civil war from there. Then move to SW Michigan area. Freeman's parents are not listed on his death certificate, but Elias' are. Elias also goes by the name John. Found a Curtis and Freeman Dart in Cattaragus Co. in 1840, but no James. Is there a 1845 N.Y. census for either county that would list wife's name and offspring? any help would be appreciated. Mary
