No relation to me, but if you go to http://www.fultonhistory.com  and type in "delia scott", the first one that comes up shows pictures of the murderer, then a picture of Delia Scott, the horse and buggy, the judge and the husband.  The young man that killed her was executed June 14, 1909 in Auburn, NY.  This is a fantastic newspaper site, and it is free.  I have mined it extensively for family information.  Dorothy --- On Tue, 7/21/09, gc-gateway@rootsweb.com <gc-gateway@rootsweb.com> wrote: From: gc-gateway@rootsweb.com <gc-gateway@rootsweb.com> Subject: [NYCHENAN] William Scott alleged slayer of Mrs Delia Scott ( stepmother) ???

Hi Sharie, I didn't find any Andrews in Riverview Cemetery unless there were burials but not on the listing I have. I did not compile the listing. But since Oxford is next door to Coventry, I checked the Coventryville Cem. (no Andrews) but I did find these Andrews in the Coventry Cemetery: ANDREWS, Rufus J., s/o Philo & Roxanna, d Aug 29, 1852 ae 11 yrs ANDREWS, George M., d Sept 7, 1866 ae 13 yrs ANDREWS, Alma, d Sept 14, 1866 ae 3 yrs ANDREWS, Lucinda A., d Jan 22, 1853 ae 2 yrs Again, I did not compiled the listings for for these two cemeteries in Coventry. I did compile the records and read the stones in Greenlawn in Bainbridge but outside of a handful of Rev. War Vets which I believe were moved there by the town, the cemetery evidently wasn't there prior to 1850. I also check the index of Rev. War Vets of Chen. Co. (book is in NYS Historical Assn. in Cooperstown, Otsego Co.) and no Rev. War vet listed with info except for the following for a possible Vet: Andrews, Judah 1746-1830 from Oxford. There would be no further info in the book on him.

I did not compile the listing. But since Oxford is next door to Coventry, I checked the Coventryville Cem. (no Andrews) but I did find these Andrews in the Coventry Cemetery: ANDREWS, Rufus J., s/o Philo & Roxanna, d Aug 29, 1852 ae 11 yrs ANDREWS, George M., d Sept 7, 1866 ae 13 yrs ANDREWS, Alma, d Sept 14, 1866 ae 3 yrs ANDREWS, Lucinda A., d Jan 22, 1853 ae 2 yrs Again, I did not compiled the listings for for these two cemeteries in Coventry. I did compile the records and read the stones in Greenlawn in Bainbridge but outside of a handful of Rev. War Vets which I believe were moved there by the town, the cemetery evidently wasn't there prior to 1850. I also check the index of Rev. War Vets of Chen. Co. (book is in NYS Historical Assn. in Cooperstown, Otsego Co.) and no Rev. War vet listed with info except for the following for a possible Vet: Andrews, Judah 1746-1830 from Oxford. There would be no further info in the book on him.

Hi Noi, The large cemetery in Oxford is Riverview Cemetery. There are also several "abandoned" cemeteries there also. I have a listing of burials in Riverview Cemetery that I would be glad to look up some names for you. Also you can contact the Guernsey Memorial Library and the Chenango Co. Historial Society which both have listings of burials.

I have occasionally found the same problem with Heritage. I was sometimes able to overcome it by searching for a couple of pages away from the one wanted. Then I use the previous or next arrow to bring up adjacent pages until the desired one is found. I may work for you, maybe not; hope it works.

Judy:   In case other people like to sleuth as I do, you must know that Moses and Lucy Bennett are on find-a-grave.  Moses was in the Civil War. Do you have his Civil War papers?  In 1880 he was living in E. Liverpool, Columbiana County, Ohio with Lucy.  His last name was spelled Bennet then.  On find-a-grave they have a copy of his death certificate and it was spelled Bennett, but in the obit on that site, it was Bennette.  In 1880 he had 7 children living with them, Brigham b. Pa., Mary and Elmer b. in Ohio, Myrtle b. Pa., Charlie b. Pa., and Frank and Dora (they could be twins) both born W. Va.    Dorothy --- On Tue, 6/30/09, Judith Freels <j_freels2008@yahoo.com> wrote: From: Judith Freels <j_freels2008@yahoo.com> Subject: Re: [NYCHENAN] MOSES BENNETT FAMILY To: nychenan@rootsweb.com Date: Tuesday, June 30, 2009, 12:04 AM Hi Alisha: Thank you, but I don't think so.  Lucy was definately Lucy and Moses was born in NYC or Quebec or Canada.  That was pretty consistant.  After his marriage in 1854, I pretty much have a paper trail.  It's just before 1854, I can't seem to find.
