Finally I have the Chenango Brickwall page up and running. Feedback please. http://www.usgennet.org/usa/ny/county/chenango/brikwall.htm Tim Stowell Chattanooga, TN

Great Idea! I have one if you think it is a good fit for the page... MINER, Sereno W. , born 26 Nov 1826 in Cornwall, Litchfield, CT; died 9 March 1870 in Norwich, Chenango Co, NY; son of Luther MINER and Nancy MOORE of CT. My brick wall is that I can find no data or verification of his death. Family lore has it in Norwich, NY. Also, I have not been able to get his marriage record to Sarah Louise WILLIAMS, married in 1863, but where? And there is little information on Sereno W. Miner's first wife Mary E. BLIVEN (1836 - ?). They apparently had a child together, Mary or Mercy who died young in 1859. My guess is that she may have died in childbirth sometime around 1859. I have been unable to find any connections to existing family histories or any documented information on Sereno Miner and Mary E. Bliven, their marriage or her death, or to Sereno's marriage to Sarah Louise Williams or to his death in 1870. Family lore has it that he was an engineer and built pontoon bridges for the Union during the civil war, on the Delaware River? I have all the existing census information and have his line back to Thomas Miner and Grace Palmer of Stonington, CT from family records. I was just interested in learning more about the details of his life. J.B.
