Thanking you all in advance:...Al To Kathryn : SKS===SOME KIND SOUL...usually of the "I've got time, to spare, so I'll help so-and-so..." Sort...really nice folks who appreciate that sometimes when you have reached the end of the line, you need help. Some have access to resources that others don't, so "we" share. I am searching for Nathaniel Smith, who md Lucy Lynde. I have one acknowledged daughter, (Mary) Polly Smith who md Solomon Thompson. I am sure of all save for what happened to Nathaniel, Lucy, and their family following the 1771-2 census for Guilford, VT/NY where they are noted with Lucy's brother Samuel and sister-in-law, Sarah Bemis. Samuel stayed in Brattleborough, but I am almost certain, Nathaniel returned to Leicester shortly thereafter [1772] --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Descendants of James Smith 1 James Smith b: 14 Feb 1701/02 in Watertown, Middlesex, MA d: 17 Sep 1747 in Leicester, Worcester, MA . +Dorcas Richardson b: ca 1706 in Woburn, Middlesex, MA m: 13 Mar 1728/29 in Leicester, Worcester, Massachusetts, USA d: 05 Nov 1777 in Leicester, Worcester, MA ... 2 James Smith b: 05 Aug 1728 in Leicester, MA d: 1756 in Service Against French ....... +Zerviah Hubbard b: 31 Mar 1732 in Worcester, MA ... 2 Dorcas Smith b: 08 Dec 1730 in Spencer, MA md Benjamin Ellis ... 2 Abigial Smith b: 05 Sep 1733 in Leicester, Worcester, MA d: 07 May 1799 in Spencer, Worcester, MA ....... +John Lamb b: 05 Mar 1726/27 in Leicester, Worcester, MA m: 21 Apr 1752 in Spencer, Worcester, MA d: 13 ..........Jan 1796 in Spencer, Worcester, MA ... 2 Israel Smith b: 16 Oct 1735/Apr 19, 1737 ... 2 Nathaniel Smith b: 16 Sep 1738 in Leicester, Worcester, MA ....... +Lucy Lynde b: 27 May 1741 in Malden, Leicester, MA m: 14 Aug 1762 in Leicester, Worcester, MA d: ..........in Leicester, MA <<Polly Smith and 4 siblings.

The 1772 census you reference is for Guilford, Windham Co, Vermont which is about 190 miles from Guilford, Chenango Co, NY. I found the USGenWeb site for Windham Vt has a lot of good info and perhaps the answers you seek. Hope this helps.

I've "rescued" an old photograph of Harold B. WELCH which was taken at the J. W. Richie & Co. Studio in Greene, NY. The photograph appears to have been taken in the 1880's with Harold noted as just 1 year and 8 months at the time it was taken. Based on limited research I was able to gather the following information regarding Harold and his family: Harold B. WELCH b. 20 May 1888 in Greene, NY to parents Benjamin A. WELCH and Cora E. COWLES. He married Elizabeth ? About 1913 in Cortland, NY, and died Apr 1966 in Cortland County, NY. Census records provide the following additional information: 1900 census of Greene, NY: Benj A. WELCH, age 47, born Jul 1852, married 18 years, born NY, parents born NY, a Dry Goods Merchant Cora E.

In Oxford he met Henry W. Ludlow from New York, who had come here for the purpose of promoting the settlement of a large tract of land owned by his father in the town. From overtures made by Mr. Ludlow, among them a promise to speedily erect a sawmill upon the tract, Mr. Moore concluded to look at the land. He penetrated 5 miles an unbroken wilderness, following a line of blazed trees before he found a suitable location. He contracted for two hundred acres in the southeast part of the town and immediately commenced the work of clearing the land where he lived till he was 81 years old, and where he was finally buried. "His wealth consisted of his clothes, an axe and a few shillings in money. With the latter he procured a few days rations in Oxford and started with a stout heart and an indomitable will to carve the future history of the Moore family in Chenango Co. He soon succeeded to the agency of the Ludlow lands in the county on account of the dissipation of the son. This brought him into prominence with the people of the town where he successively held all the offices in the gift of the people." There were 12 children, 8 by the first marriage and 4 by the last.

I'm still looking for more information on Stephen Fosbury b. 1750 in Windsor, Ct. He was in the Rev. War in Conn. I know nothing of his life. I have two sons for him: Reuben b. ca 1807 in Bainbridge, Chen. Co., and James C. b. 1809 ibid. Since these children were born when Stephen was about 57 and 59, surely he has an earlier wife and other children. I feel confident that Stephen Fosbury was originally Vosburgh. Perhaps there is a connection to the Stephen Fosbury/Vosburgh of Schoharie Co., the Vosburys of Broome Co., Jacob Vosburgh of Herkimer Co who was b. in Conn., but I don't know the exact location. I've been researching the Vosburgh families and it's variant spellings for many years. This Stephen is a "toughie". Years ago I did an investigation of James C. Fosbury for Eleanor Beemsterboer of Grayslake, Ill. She is deceased now. Reuben is in Bainbridge, Chenango Co. with his family. The 1855 will give his birth place. Is that known by any listers?
