Maybe adding to the picture, and maybe not!!!! I own a 1902 Chenango Co. Directory which lists residents in all the various towns (townships) and villages (also cities) in Chenango Co. in the early 1900's.. There are the following BUTTON residents in Pharsalia: Benjamin P., Charles D. and Reuben O. Let me know if you wish further details from the directory: occupation, mailing addr., property owned.

Let me know if you would like more info. Don Dear Don: I have Brookfield BUTTON family information, but I do not have four generations in Brookfield. My line is John BUTTON born abt. 1756, his son Festus, Festus's daughter Angeline, who was my g grandmother, etc. John is the cousin of John born 1749 who married Anna COON, MACCOONE. Both Johns had a brother named Elias. One Elias went to Brookfield with his brother John while the other Elias went to Pharsalia, Chenango Co. Maybe it would be most efficient if you sent me your BUTTON information, and I could see whether I can find what I am looking for. I would appreciate your sending me the information on the BUTTONs in RI as well as before they moved to NYS. That might help me solve my John BUTTON/John BUTTON problem to which I allude above. Did you get your information from Button Families of America? I did, plus other places. Thanks very much for offering your help.
