I can't believe with all the years of my research, I never had seen this Daniel Hale in the Will Index. I was told old wills or index to wills are kept at the Surrogates office which are separate from the Clerks office? I have the person of interest and Liber/page... Hale, Daniel July 5, 1841(proven date) E(Liber) 103 (pg) If someone could please be my eyes and look this up and send me a copy I would be most appreciative! Perhaps if someone is looking something up there themselves, and would do an out of state person a favor and send me a copy? I will pay any fee, and a few more dollars for your time. I did see a pd researcher, but 50$ seemed a bit steep for me, when I am not even sure this is the right Daniel Hale. I am pretty certain it is though...If the decedant named children, Fanny(James)Sergeant,Ruth (Wells)Sergeant, Harriet(Andrew) Pearse, Ebenezer(Philleta or Violetta) Hale, or a Daniel(Emily) Hale. Than this may be my gggg grandfather I have been trying so hard to find in 15 years.I have Daniel died in 1840, his first wife Mary(Polly) Bartlett died in 1827. Daniel just may have remarried after her death. Daniel was the s/on Lt Thomas Hale of North Brookfield, who was a State senator,State Representative and served two terms in the Revolutionary War. I am a member of the NSDAR, but have never been able to prove his burial location. If someone could please be of assistance, I'd be forever grateful. I have wrote several articles on Thomas Hale for our local Historical Society ETC. They were in Brookfield MA and then migrated to Oneida Co., NY by 1820. Fanny Hale, my ggg married James Sergeant of South New Berlin and New Berlin, NY, and pioneered to SE WI by 1846. Her younger sister, Ruth Hale married Wells Ely Sergeant, of SNB, So I understand there were strong ties to Chenango Co. Today I found a niece, of my ggg grandmother's, named Mary Hale, d/o Ebenezer Hale was also born in Norwich, under Chenango Co births. Please, if anyone could help... Thank you all again!

Tim: Can you put this on the Chenago county website please? I have answered a gal requesting information on a Louis J. Frink. She happens to live in Ireland, and Louis' wife was her grand aunt. Louis J. Frink died around May 6, 1943--that is when his name was put in the Syracuse Herald Journal as "deaths in the area." His wife Margaret died in 1950 and both are buried in Greenwood Cemetery in New Berlin. If anyone could come up with obits for either I would appreciate it, and I will send them on to her. The family line died out with these people as neither Louis nor his siblings ever had children. Oh, I have the book "The Frink Family in America, second edition" if anyone has a question. Thank you.

LOCKE Born: 1922, Caucasian Date of loss: September 7, 1951, KIA When the Korean War ended the enemy never returned or accounted for over 8,000 of our servicemen. They died in their hands. That was over 50 years ago. Since that time DNA has been perfected and also they are recovering remains in North Korea. Our government is obligated to return those remains to the proper family. DNA samples have been obtained from most of the families of these missing soldiers. For various reasons some families have not been located. There are 155 families from New York that have not been located. There are three families from Chenango County that has not been located. When the remains are recovered and identified they will be returned to the family for proper burial. I am just an old (76 years) Combat Veteran out of the Korean War and thankful that I did return. I consider this a very noble cause and I hope that you can help in some way to find these families. For more information on the project you may go to http://www.jpac.pacom.mil/. My part in the program is to match up the lost families with the proper agency. I will be grateful for any assistance in locating these families.
