Deanna, You just may have found my gggg-grandfather's will. According to her obituary Jennie (Lydia Jane) WHEELER was born in Oriskany Falls on 9 Sept 1852. She married my gg-grandfather Frank (Francis Delay) LORD in Augusta on 23 December 1869. Jennie's death certificate lists her father as either John or James (the handwriting is sloppy) and her mother as unknown. Frank and Jennie lived in Pharsalia after their marriage with Frank's parents, David LORD and Livonia BROWN LORD. Livonia's parents were Benjamin BROWN and Phebe BROWN BROWN (maiden name same as married, no apparent kinship), both of whom were born in Stonington CT. I thought perhaps Jennie's father might be James Harvey WHEELER of Pharsalia. His parents were Benson H. Wheeler and Olive Hooker CALHOUN WHEELER. Unfortunately I have no proof of that connection. I do know that James Harvey WHEELER died in 1921 in Cortland NY where he had been living with a niece. I've not be able to locate an obit for him. Any guidance will be most appreciated!

There is a Moses Wheeler in Augusta who leave a Will, not dated but Probated Nov. 25, 1833. It names his mother Joanna, wife Lucinda, children John E., Mary Jane, Ludina. Executors: Annad Mumm, Harvey White. Witnesses: Thaddeus Muzzy, Melancton Muzzy. None of the names you give, but Moses is in Augusta when he died. Kinship maybe?

I'm researching LORD and WHEELER in Chenango (Pharsalia) and Augusta (Oriskany Falls) Counties. My gg-grandparents were Francis (Frank) Delay LORD and Lydia Jane (Jennie) WHEELER. I've hit a brick wall on Jennie. I know she had a younger brother named Wayne but I don't know who her parents were. Frank and Jennie moved to Kansas around 1870. Other names I'm looking for information on are David LORD and Joseph LORD. I have all the census records back to 1810. > > Thanks! > > Jeff Pierce, IBSSG > Irving, Texas > > ------------------------------- > To unsubscribe from the list, please send an email to NYCHENAN-request@rootsweb.com with the word 'unsubscribe' without the quotes in the subject and the body of the message > ------------------------------- To unsubscribe from the list, please send an email to NYCHENAN-request@rootsweb.com with the word 'unsubscribe' without the quotes in the subject and the body of the message
