Hello group. I'm in need of help!!! A very helpful member sent me some wonderful pictures and directions of how to locate the "Blackman Cemetery". However, I have many reasons to believe that everything she sent me is for the wrong cemetery. Let me explain further. Via many links on the internet, I have known of two Blackman Cemeteries in Chenango County. One, the most commonly referred to, is also the Heady's Corners Cemetery. All of the Blackman's buried in there are my family. There has been a list for many years on the internet of the people interred there. This helpful member sent me a photograph of one of the only markers legible in the cemetery and it is for a Jabez Blackman. But this person has never been listed on the Heady's Corners/Blackman Cemetery list, that I'm aware of. Also, the directions she sent me of how to drive there, indicate it's on Hwy. 12 between Oxford and Norwich. After doing some research tonight I've discovered that I think the Blackman Cemetery on Hwy. 12 is not Heady's Corner, but rather the "other" Blackman Cemetery that I've seen listed on this map, but have never been able to find any information on it. This map indicates that the Heady's Corner/Blackman Cemetery is on Hwy. 19. I think that all along, we've been talking about two different cemeteries. The page that has given me maps of both these cemeteries is: http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~rsaft/cccl.html Can anyone in the area clarify this for me? I'm in Kansas and can't do a thing from here to try and find either of these. I'm so confused at this point. Thanks for listening to my ramblings!!! Melissa in Kansas City, KS

Hello, I am looking for a John BLACKMAN family that would have been in the New Berlin area in the very early 1800s. The father in this family was a cabinet and chairmaker who worked in a New Berlin machine shop. A daughter, Sally Blackman, married Nehemiah Dyer. Sally (Blackman) Dyer is buried in the Dyer Cemetery in New Berlin. Ken Brown The following from "Historical Sketches of Olde New Berlin:" "Mr. Nehemiah Dyer worked in the old cotton factory several years and after accumulating a sufficient sum to enable him to buy a wild lot, he purchased the lot back of the Great Brook, which he cleared up and lived on until his decease, leaving a good property to his wife and children. His wife was a daughter of John Blackman, who worked in the machine shop with Dyer. This Mr. Blackman was by trade a cabinet and chair-maker, and a first-rate workman. Mr. Dyer was a good farmer and a much respected citizen. His wife made cheese of a superior quality, and better adapted to the taste of lovers of good cheese than can be found in modern cheese-making factories. Mr. Dyer left his estate to his wife and children. One of his sons married a daughter of William Jackson, a wagon-maker, who was an emigrant from England." ----- Original Message ----- From: "Melissa Blackman" <roseladym@yahoo.com> To: <nychenan@rootsweb.com> Sent: Wednesday, August 01, 2007 8:11 PM Subject: [NYCHENAN] Clarification on the "Blackman" Cemeteries > Hello group.
