Tim, <<<<<<<July 3rd death of a GALUSHA made me wonder if this family was connected with the western Chenango family whose daughter was drowned by a man in upstate New York - Moose Lake, was I believe its name.>>>>>> I don't think you are thinking of the right person. I believe you are thinking of Grace Brown who drowned in Big Moose Lake in 1906. Chester Gillette was executed for her murder. She was pregnant with Chester's child. The case became the subject of Dreiser's, An American Tragedy and the academy award winning movie, A Place in the Sun. Grace was my grandmother's sister. Her family lived in Pharsalia (Chenango County). Her father was Frank Browning Brown and mother was Minerva (Babcock) Brown. Bob Robert C.
