Dear Laurel: Thank you for your reply regarding my trying to set up an appointment at the Historical Society building in Moravia. I'm sorry it has taken me so long to reply to you but I've been out of town and have just returned. A friend of mine and I have been researching our family trees in Cayuga County and are interested in obtaining information on Edward and Sarah Hardy (1810 in Sempronius area) and Thomas Kirkpatrick (1820,1830 in Cayuga County). We just returned this afternoon from obtaining some information from Doris Smith, the Sempronius town clerk, and looking in a book that she has listing births, deaths, and marriages in Sempronius back to 1875. We've called and left messages on numerous occasions with the Cayuga-Onon Historical society and have had no phone replies. My friend actually reached someone there once and set up a time to meet them at the building but no one came from the society at the agreed time. We would both love to be able to go through the society and would even enjoy volunteering time on a regular basis there so that the building could be open to the public more often. I teach at Auburn High and my friend is a librarian in Auburn so getting over to Moravia is convenient for both of us. Any help you can give would be appreciated ! Thanks ! Sue Walker 315 253-7557 Any help you could give would be appreciated.

I love it. Thank you for a laugh and goodness, it is TRUE!. Jeanne (NYC)

Cheryl, In reading about the history of Erie County Ohio, there seem to have been a lot of folks from Cayuga NY who settled there in the 1830's & 1840's. That area along with several other counties made up the Connecticut Western Reserve. Following are my notes on this: According to Vol V, June 1864, "Fire Lands Pioneer" (Fire Lands Historical Society, Norwalk Huron Co OH), Pg 93: "The Connecticut Western Reserve, sometimes called New Connecticut, is situated in the northeast part of the state [Ohio]. and extends from the Pennsylvania State line west 120 miles to the southeast corner of what is now Huron county; ..." and is bounded on the north by Lake Erie, on the east by the Pennsylvania line, on the south by the 41st degree of north latitude, and on the west by Sandusky and Seneca counties." "The name, Fire Lands, originated from the fact that the State of Connecticut granted these lands in the year 1793, as a donation to certain sufferers by fire, occasioned by the English, during the Revolutionary war..." Pages 39 -44 list many of the early settlers MANY OF WHOM WERE FROM CAYUGA COUNTY NY Jean Atherton Vineyard Researching: Atherton, Vineyard, Taylor, Burgess, Fulkerson, Dodd, Cummings, Paxton, Osborn, Kim, Shields and others in Ohio, Pennsylvania, New York, Virginia, West Virginia -----Original Message----- From: Cheryl Morris [mailto:camorris@mars.ark.com] Sent: Saturday, February 26, 2000 1:30 PM To: NYCAYUGA-L@rootsweb.com Subject: [NYCAYUGA] Migrations to Ohio, Illinois and MO 1830's Hi, I am trying to find migration groups from Cayuga County in the latter 1830's to MO probably via Ohio and Illinois. I am especially interested in families moving from the Sempronius area. The main migration group that comes to mind is the Mormon migration, but I do not have any information that the Burgess family members from Sempronius who I am tracing were part of that migration -- they may or may not have been. They would have been in the Illinois/Missouri area by 1839. There are known cousins who were in Ashtabula County, Ohio in the 1830's. Any help with other surnames leaving from Cayuga and in particular, Sempronius, then would be appreciated. The two Burgess men, Jonathan and Joel Willis Burgess, were among the youngest from a large family and there might be married sisters who also left. Very little is known about this Burgess line. ______________________________

Hello, Any info on Pauline Austin, possibly Pauline Bracken. She was my grandmother and was adopted at a very early age. We have found a birth certificate with the name Pauline Austin,(born in Rochester) Mother Catherine (born in Virginia), Father Seymour Austin. She was taken in by the Bracken family, but no official adoption papers available. Any info appreciated.

The MORMAN MIGRATION from the Moravia area According to Leslie Luther's book "Moravia and its Past" page 58. In 1832 Joseph Thorn became a convert to Mormanism. He joined the number going to Nauvoo , Illinois with Spencer Covert Isaac C. Haight Wm. VanOrder Dorr Curtis and others with their families.(A total of 9 families) The SEMPRONIUS MIGRATION including many Quakers went to Huron County Ohio in 1832 - 1835. Names that were from Cayuga County that I have researched and know of are: Timothy West and wife Prudence Annie Greenfield his four sons Truman Whitman West and wife George Robert West and wife minor sons: Stetson Daniel West William Greenfield West Daughter Alma West and her husband Thomas Summerton William Greenfield Jr and his family (His brother in law) Other Families of Quaker heritage who went to Fairfield, Huron County Ohio in the period of 1832- 1837 were the Sissons. The book " Gateways to the West" lists many of the people from Cayuga County to Huron County. Timothy West and his brother in Law William Greenfield helped to make the first Road in the settlement. Laurel Auchampaugh Owasco Historian

I too am a student of migrations. I have a large family (BRAFORD) that settled in Sempronius area from New Ashford, Berkshire Co MA.. Of the ten children in this family, one large section of descendants settled in Michigan (Kent Co), with some moving on to WI and Montana. Another line went to Erie Co PA, then joined the Mormon migration. Connected lines show up in Steuben Co Ind. and Richland Co Ohio. and I believe on line even found it's way to Missouri. One line had a member hired by an irrigation company, to "settle" on their newly titled land in Wisconsin, and so he had the dubious honor of being mentioned in the history books of having built the first shanty, first log home and first frame home in what was to become Kenosha WI. The trail to Kenosha stops first in LaSalle Co Ill, and this branch first moves to Kenosha, to stop with their cousins, and then they go on to Adams and Fond du Lac counties. I think we need a history major, to map out the major events that shaped these migrations. whew! Tracy Reinhardt

I have two families - one who moved from Cayuga County Summerhill to Dakota County MN (with a short stay in Seneca Co) circa 1856. This was Alvin Bates family and his wife Sarah Ann Robinson. My cousin's family I believe is Fleming but married into both the Robinson and Bates families moved to Buchanan County Iowa about the same time. Jackie Perkins-Horton

Everyone check this out its great for finding Migration routes,Maggie did a wonderful job. http://homepages.rootsweb.com/~maggieoh/highway.html jackie

Dear Cheryl and all - while I believe a year or so ago, we went through a discussion on this "migration pattern" subject, I myself would welcome a further discussion. My own Dutch Reformed ancestors moved from the Owasco Lake area of Cayuga County to Richland County OH, then some to Steuben Co., IN, and finally to Bourbon Co., KS. How about others? Any further discussion?
