Tim: You said "If you wish further details, please let me know", so I would like to tell you that I am interested in the information concerning DeRuyter, where my ancestors settled. It might be time for me to mention the names again, so I'll put them at the end of this tidbit. Thanks for listening, Tim. Lois BAILEY, ROWE, SUTTON, FRAZIER, DEO, BARKER,. (There are others, but those are the main ones. Thanks for any clues to these names in Madison County.) ----- Original Message ----- From: Timothy Stowell To: nycortla@rootsweb.com ; nychenan@rootsweb.com ; nymadiso@rootsweb.com Sent: Monday, June 08, 2009 9:09 PM Subject: [NYMADISO] update 6/8/09 Since my update of 1/28/09 - For this update - ====================== Cortland County - Smith's History of Cortland County - Chapter 4 - European discoveries and settlements Chapter 5 - Previous to county organization http://www.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~nycortla/smithhis.htm Chapters 6 and 7 are in proofing and coding.

About 2 weeks ago we had a family contact us from Virginia and now we are in touch with 3 of the 4 girls from the same orphanage bedroom in China. The first was adopted 15 months before our daughter who was the second one to leave. The third was adopted out last October. We hope to have a reunion between our daughter and this third adoptee next month. The fourth girl opted to be adopted in China but at least we have the three now in contact with each other. Our tree has so much more color now as now my heritage becomes hers as well. With the addition of her finding her China sisters, her life has been doubly blessed.
