I have a Seth Bugess who married Selinda Olive Cady (probably about 1768) -- either in MA or CT; from about 1775 to 1797 they resided in Stillwater, Saratoga County and then moved to Sempronius. To my knowledge, little is known about Selinda's family. Thus, I was quite intrigued to find quite a lot of Cady's living not far from Sempronius. Does anyone know where they were from? Cheryl

These are my surnames, all from the Auburn and Marcellus area and related to my immigrant ancestors, who came from Bristol, England to Auburn in 1882. The Reed and Cody lines were earlier settlers in the Marcellus area: AIKEN ALVORD BUCKMAN CHAPMAN CLARK CODY COLEMAN DAVIS FERRIS GLASS HARVEY HASSELBRINK HITCHCOCK MOORE POST REED SHURTLEFF WORKMAN

I am not sure if you recieved this yesterday, because right in the middle of it, I was cut off. grrrrr! 1800 Census name mispelled Hanshett Cayuga County (I found my ancestor Cornelius Bodine spelled Bordwine) Sempronius Isaac Hanshett . . 1 2 . 1 . 1 . . Town of Locke early records of earmarks of animals (each settler was required to notch the ears of his cattle, swine sheep, so they could be identified.) 1802 - 1842 Cyrus Henchett The towm of Locke begins at the line of the town of Moravia. I searched the church records, and the other items pertaining to Locke but found no further record of him. 1963 publication of "Moravia and its Past" by Leslie Luther (Moravia is next to Locke) " Storke states that a man by the name of Hanchett was the first one there .(In Dresserville in Sempronius) and built a house which we figure stood across from the end of the road to Montville , about where Howard Fuller (1963) now lives.Hanchett soon left because of his wifes fear of the wolves." In other words, Isaac Hanchett was the pioneer settler of what is now called Dresserville. As the Owasco Historian, I checked all my Cuykendall, Koyken dall ,Coykendall, Kirkendall files and found no mention of Orson Cuykendall. I think perhaps he is related to the Jotham Cuykendall of Moravia, for I cannot find him in the Owasco records. Jotham had a drinking problem..The early store account books shows him buying whisky daily- sometimes 2 - 3 times a day at the Luther Brothers Store. He almost lost his land, until a kind Quaker by the name of Thomas West gave Jotham Cuykendalls WIFE a mortgage. I found this information in the West family files, and the Luther Brothers books housed at the Cayuga - Owasco Lakes Historical Society in Moravia. I also went into Auburn and found the Mortgage in the books for the 1840 - 1850's. If either of these men were Revolutionary soldiers, I would be eager to update our records here. Anything you can share with me for my files, I would gladly welcome. Does this help you? Laurel Auchampaugh Owasco Historian

Perhaps this information will help out Bob and Carol Swenson in their search for a location in Cayuga County that was recorded before Cayuga County was formed. The text is taken from the Onondaga County Rootsweb page link on Onondaga County history. www.rootsweb.com/~nyononda Tioga or Herkimer counties could be a possibility for where this deed was recorded based upon this information and how early in 1794 the deed was actually filed. The information is also of interest to other researchers looking for records during this period for many of the counties in the Finger Lakes region. French's Gazateer for New Yorlk State, 1857, is also an excellent source for this type of information. Here is an extract from the Onondaga County website link: Onondaga County was formed 5 March 1794 from Herkimer and Tioga Counties (Laws of Session 17 Chapter 18). The County of Onondaga was the twenty-first of New York State's present sixty-two counties. The new county of Onondaga included "All that tract of land called the Military Tract, bounded westerly by the county of Ontario, northerly by Lake Ontario, the Onondaga river (the Oswego and Oneida rivers were then so called) and the Oneida lake, easterly by the east bounds of . . . Cincinnatus, Solon, Fabius and Pompey and easterly and north-easterly bounds of . . . Manlius and Cicero. . . and southerly by the south bounds of . . . Cincinnatus, Virgil, Dryden, Ulysses and Hector . . . and the same line continued to the east bounds of the county of Ontario." This description included a section extended to the preemption line west of Seneca lake and bounded north and south by lines continuing from the north and south bounds of a southern tier of military townships. This strip, running from Watkins to Starkey Landing, forms today part of the towns of Reading in Schuyler county and Starkey in Yates. The original Onondaga county embraced about one and three-quarter million acres, close to a fifteenth of the present area of New York State. All of Onondaga, Cortland, Cayuga, and Seneca Counties and parts of Oswego, Tompkins, Schuyler, Wayne and Yates now line within the first lines of Onondaga. Tioga County, as well as Herkimer, contributed territory to form Onondaga.

I believe there is a City of Auburn birth records on line. Found some of my Raners born there. It lists both parents names also. Use a search engine and try to fine it and if not let me know and I will look for it again. A marriage is what I need looked up: Have Hannah V. ???? who married Joshua Raner. They had a son Jeremiah V. Raner 17 Dec 1835 Niles, Cayuga County, New York (so assuming married 1833-1834-1835.) I do not know what happened to Joshua Raner/Raynor or other spelling as have not found his death record but believe he died in Cayuga County as Hannah M2 to Hedden Ball there. They had both been married before and his wife died in childbirth leaving him with small childern. Is there a marriage index to find dates of both marriages and Hannahs maiden name.

Hi to all: This is my first request for help and I hope I have addressed this correctly. The Surnames I am researching is Blakeman and Palmer. Any information would be greatly appreciated. My gGrandfather John Blakeman was born in Sandy Hill (Hudson Falls), Washington County NY in 1843. Moved with his parents to Cayuga County in early 1850's and Married Mary Ann Palmer of Cayuga County in 1863. He and Mary Ann left Cayuga County and headed for Illinois in 1878. Any info on the families left behind in NY or their wedding etc., ANYTHING would be great. Regards, Fern

Hi to the List: Does anyone on the list live in Auburn NY? I am looking for some kind soul to do a lookup in the Cayuga County Historians office for a birth that took place in l829. I do not know what church the couple belonged to. The surname of the father is LEWIS, Mathias/Matheus and the mother's surname is VAN GORDER. I wish I could find out her given name. The child was John L. LEWIS born 4 Mar l829, born in Auburn. I don't know if there might be a city directory for the area at that time which might also list the couple. Would anyone be able to do this? Thanks in advance. Elizabeth Milne granijeanm30@gtlakes.com

In reply to question from Linda Selub: I have Paez Parsells, born 1777, place unknown. Family records say his family originally settled in Rhode Island, but I have never been able to track them down in RI. I have found other Parsellses in DRC church records from Orange County, but not Paez. Paez is the father of John Parsells, born 1807, location unknown, who married and lived most of his life in Wurtsboro, which is in Sullivan County very near the Orange County border. The woman John married, Elizabeth Helm, was from an old Wurtsboro family, but that doesn't necessarily mean that John was from Wurtsboro originally. Wife of Paez was Isabella Young Parsells, born in France. I do not know if they had other children, nor do I know if Paez had brothers/sisters. Linda Hansen Charlotte, NC

Hi Hester, I do not have info on her but other Manly families were in the Spafford, Onondaga Co., NY area along with several familes that also had come from Cayuga Co. There was a ferry across Skaneatlas lake at one tie so it was simple to travel back and forth between counties. That is what my Powerslin did. One of the daughters m. a Russell Manley/Manly. Several are buried in area cmetaries there. The Spafford Mortuary and Genealogy records have some info on them. S.K. Garrett Genealogists never die they just lose their census.

Does anyone have information on a Manley (Manly) family? I have a Malighta Manly born 12 Aug 1812 in Cayuga Co. who married a Henry Draper Parcel. I'm searching for information on both these individuals. Hester

I would suggest that if you want a Parsels mailing list, the list to join is spelled Pearsall. They are all variants of one another, and often interchange, but this is the list that seems to go way back into early dutch colonial times. If you want to see a site that has a lot of the history of the origins of this surname, go to http://www.teleport.com/~grafe/Pearsalls.html Tracy Reinhardt
