I first thought it was Sterling but now think its Sterling Valley. http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~springport/pictures115/11528small.jpg http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~springport/pictures115/11528.jpg Old Topo map at http://historical.maptech.com/getImage.cfm?fname=oswg00nw.jpg&state=NY

Thank you Bill, for all your photos, but particularly the air shots of Sterling. My gggrandparents came from Sterling, & altho it might not be as wooded as it was then, one can still get a sense of the lay of the land. How would one receive permission to print your photo on the front of next year's Christmas cards to my friends & relatives (with perhaps my ggrandparents picture inside?). My line is Timerson, with Jacob Josiah Timerson being born 1818 in Sterling. He married Eliza Mulholland (b. 1826). They moved their family to Wisconsin around 1850. This is my biggest brick wall. I cannot figure out with certainty who their parents were. Anybody out there with Timerson/Mulholland in their tree? Again, thanks for the photos.
