I have always been under the impression that there is a least one, if not two Indian tribes in that area. There is a McComb Reservation just outside of Keeseville. (I am not sure of spelling) Also another group of them near Saranac. Sorry I can't be more help. Bettie

My aunt who is 87 says her best friend is part Iroquois and part Mohican. I will call her tonight and check... I will ask her if the woman would be able to talk or write to you. She has an Indian name that means little white dove. She still says the 23rd Psalm in her father's native tongue. She also told us about crossing her slippers at night before she goes to bed. Jean in Mass

I am not sure if anyone else has written about this before, but the Plattsburgh Press-Republican Newspaper has a website now. (www.pressrepublican.com) They cover Clinton, Essex and Franklin counties. Also on that website, they are offering a book for sale "North Country Century". It is a set of all the articles written by "Jeff Meyers" The description is 10 decades of North Country History. The price is $9.50 which included shipping. The order form is on the web, but I would recommend printing the order form and mailing it because the website is not secured. I plan to order one........hope this helps others too. Bettie

Hello all. I received a letter yesterday from a great-aunt. She recalled that my ggrandfather in the 1890's lived with an Indian tribe near Ausable Forks. About 1930 he returned to the area and came back with an Indian woman who took his sick daughter to a cabin "in the mountains" to recover from TB. My question: was there a predominant tribe in the area of Ausable Forks during the late 1800's? Ray MacDonald

Please keep this exchange on line. Our VADEBONCOEURS were in Keeseville in mid 1800s, and were mostly Indian, but trying to find proof has been difficult. Supposedly came originally from Kanawaga Reservation near Montreal but some were on the Canadian side of the St Regis Res. early in 1800s. ( using the BONCOEUR form of the name which became BUNKER where the VADEBONCOEURS became HARTS) Pursuing this, in the early census of Clinton Co. ( late 1700s), were the slaves that a few Clinton County owners were taxed on, Indian? Joyce

>From the book: The Souvenir Industrial Edition of Plattsburgh 1897 edited and published by W. Lansing & Son, Plattsburgh page 33 The Young Men's Christian Association The present branch of the Young Men's Christian Association was formed in Plattsburgh on June 1st, 1895. A. H. Carson, Jr., being appointed secretary, and A. H. Carson, Sr., assistant secretary and janitor. Prior to the above date there had been a Railroad Young Men's Christian Association, with headquarters at the D. & H. Station, but with the increasing number of applications for membership, it was decided to seek more commodious premises and entirely re-organize the association. The present rooms at 36 1/2 Margaret street, twelve in number, were chosen as the future headquarters, and they have been fitted-up in an excellent manner, looking not only to the beauty of detail, but to the entire comfort of the members. There is a senior and junior department, and a library of over 2,500 volumes, which is accessible to both. The parlors and reading rooms are handsomely furnished, the latter being generously supplied with the latest newspapers, periodicals and magazines, and there are also tables set apart at which games may be played. There is a very fine organ also, which is used during the usual meetings. The rooms are heated by steam and lighted by electricity. A well equipped gymnasium provides pleasant relaxation for members, and there are two bath-rooms with shower, spray, and tubs. The membership of the association now numbers 200, and three meetings are held each Sunday, with occasional week-night meetings. The subscription for men is $5 a year; for boys $3, which includes full membership. Limited members pay $2 and $1; railroad men being granted a special rate. The Orchestra club holds its meetings at the rooms each Monday night. Mr. Carson, who came here from Denver, Col., to assume charge of the association, has worked most indefatigably to promote its interests, and to his energy and his great influence with young men, may be traced the present success of the association.

from: The Souvenir Industrial Edition of Plattsburgh 1897 edited and published by W. Lansing & Son, Plattsburgh page 75-76 Beckwith & Botsford One of the post prominent of the law firms of Plattsburgh, is that of Beckwith & Botsford. It was established in 1892, by George Henry Beckwith and Elmer F. Botsford. This firm has an extensive and varied practice, its members being among the leading lawyers of Clinton County. Their offices on Court House Square, occupy an entire building which is one of the old land marks of the village. In this office, Mr. Beckwith, the senior partner, first studied law, and laid the foundations for the successful practice of his profession since that time. Mr. George Henry Beckwith is a native of Plattsburgh. He was prepared for college at the Plattsburgh Academy, after which he attended Amherst College. Later on, however, he left Amherst for Williams College, where he completed his course. He then studied law with the firm of Beckwith, Johnson & Weed, was admitted to the bar in 1860, and became a member of the firm of Beckwith & Johnson. He was also associated in later years with several other firms. Mr. Beckwith at one time held the office of District Attorney of Clinton County, and performed the duties of that office for about six years, but declined a renomination on account of poor health. He is a member of the Board of Education of Plattsburgh, and is one of the trustees and vice-president of the Vilas Home. His advice as counsel in complicated cases is held in hight regard by his colleagues, and he enjoys the esteem of the community. The junior member of the firm, Mr. Elmer Francis Botsford, is one of the rising young lawyers of Clinton County, having already established a high reputation as a careful adviser and shrewd financier. He was born in 1861, at Burke, Franklin County, and received his elementary education in the district school of his native town, being afterward prepared for college at Franklin Academy, Malone. He subsequently entered Dartmouth College, from which he graduated in the class of 1886, with the degree of A.B. In 1894, his alma mater conferred upon him the honorary degree of A.M. Mr. Botsford was admitted to the bar, November 30, 1889, and commenced the practice of his profession in Plattsburgh, continuing alone successfully until he formed the partnership with Mr. Beckwith, in whose office he served his preliminary clerkship. There is probably no one more active than Mr. Botsford in promoting the business interests of Plattsburgh, and he himself is a prominently identified with a large number. On the first day of October, 1896, Mr. Beckwith severed his active connection with the Plattsburgh firm and opened an office at No. 100 Broadway, New York city. He will still, however, act as counsel for Mr. Botsford, who intends to continue the business under the same firm name.

Dr. Charles Winslow Arthur, son of Joshua van Rensselaer Arthur and Almira Lake, was born in the town of Ausable, Clinton County, on 26 Feb 1844. His second wife and at least two of his children are buried in Riverside Cemetery in Plattsburgh, but the ARTHUR burials in that cemetery apparently do not include that of the good doctor! Does anyone know his date of death and/or burial and where he's buried? Seems as if his body, too, must be in Riverside Cemetery, but they say not.... Thanks, all...

Hello list, I was wondering if anyone out there has access to an 1860 census index? Thank you for your help, John [email protected] Photo Gallery http://sites.netscape.net/jbedard/index.html My Family tree page http://sites.netscape.net/jbedard/family.html See my family tree page for some New England information Lookups!

Thanks. I was wondering what it was but was afraid to ask. Now I know. I will check it out also. Thanks. Priscilla

Hi Bob, E-bay is the auction site on the net. Just type in the number she gave after you go to search. There is a place for typing in just the number. It will take you to that particular auction. If you want to see all the available goodies for sale, just type the word genealogy in the box on the main page and you will see anywhere from 1000 - 2000+ entries. I have purchased about 5-6 items from them already. registration and bidding are free.

Thanks to everyone on the list.
