Tom, I would recommend you contact the Champlain Town Hall - they would know when it closed and may be able to direct you to a contact. -- Candy_B [email protected] Researching Bennett, Cooper, Vanderveer, Woolley & related families in NJ Researching O'Brien, Brown, Boyle, Cavanaugh, Noonan, Fitzgerald, Spellman, Messier (Macey), LaCroix (Cross), Blais (Blair), Durand, Simonneau, Chabbot (Jabbot, Jabaut), Boucher, Sharron and related families in NY, New England and Quebec

There are a number of Chases list in the index to the entire volume, none, however in the Schuyler Falls or Morrisonville pages. No Ezra Bowers Chase. The George Chase list in the index refers to George B, who in 1879 was on the board of the Champlain Transporation Company, but is listed as living in Boston. If you have siblings and some periods, I will look up some of the other names. Noticed that a patch of Chases seemed to be in Saranac. Linda

Those of us who live in the West where there aren't overlapping towns and villages sometimes have a hard time separating places like Plattsbrugh, Schuyler Falls and Morrisonville--where places were carved out of other places. Hurd's HISTORY OF CLINTON AND FRANKLIN COUNTIES, published 1880 says "the Methodist Episcopal Church, Morrisonville, was established in 1835 in what is now called the town of Schuyler Falls, then West Plattsburgh, on Beckwith Street about midway between the villages of Schuyler Falls and Morrisonville. It was named the Second Methoidst Episcopal Church of the town of Plattsburgh." In 1846 yet another M-E church was established in Schuyler Falls By 1853, the population of the area had grown so much that the old (1835) church was divided. Those living south united with the Schuyler Falls group and those north established a church at Morrisonville at the north end. Hurd has lists of members and clergy of l the above--if someone is looking for specific names--and doesn't have a copy of Hurd, let me know. I'll keep the book on my desk for a few days. In 1874, R. H., Emery of Morrisonville donated land for a Catholic Church, where St. Alexander's was established. (No list of members.) Linda Guynup Dewey San Francisco In Clinton County researching Guynup, Hare, Butler, Mallory, Fordham, and two dozen connected families. `

I noticed that when I drove through Morrisonville at Christmas One of the church buildings has been turned into apartments. I don't recall seeing the others, if indeed they were still there.

Dear Linda In my seemingly fruitless research for my ggrandfather, the last indication is of his being born in Burke, NY (1846) However, nata! Do you have a listing for Ezra Bowers Chase or possibly his father, George? Any Chase???? Thanks Harriet M. Chase

Hi Debra: I couldn't find Seymour in the book. Who was his father? I was told about the book at Christmas and sent for it. Heritage Books, Inc has it. http://www.heritagebooks.com or 1-800-398-7709 There are 2 volumes and it talks about what their homes looked like, conditions were, etc. It's great!

Hi, I was hoping someone may be able to help me. According to French's Gazetteer of the State of New York 1860 it states that in Morrisonville there are 3 churches.

Susan, I have to agree. I am frustrated with trying to gain access to my family records. I either have to pay lots of money or wait 50yrs even when everyone is dead. I am not sure what the problem is that NY takes sooo long to get the records???? I would like to buy a copy of the McCellen book. I don't think this is available to buy? Well, I just wanted to throw my two cents in.

Hi Bettie, I have not researched all the children of my lineage down the line. I have just been following each generation going down to the Revolution and entering the children of each generation but not the families of each child. So, unfortunately, I do not have anything on either Roberts. I am sorry. These Roberts are a bear to work with, aren't they!!!!!!! I am sure you have but I have to ask out of curiosity. Have you tried genforum for the Roberts surname? If not, their address is: http://genforum.genealogy.com/roberts . Good luck.

Would you by chance have a Liza Barber Roberts in your family tree?

Jill, In response to your email, I decided to answer to the list, since others might benefit from what I know about NNYC-AGS. They don't have a web site as near as I can tell. They are listed on rootsweb page. http://www.rootsweb.com/~nyclinto/ There is quite a bit about Clinton Co with more information just recently added. There snail mailing address is: Northern New York American-Canadian Genealogical Society PO Box 125S Plattsburgh, NY 12901-0120 ph#518-834-5401 You can write to them and they'll send you an application.

Hi Linda, Nice to hear from you again. These libraries where I live are a joke. They have no way of reading these films and I do not drive. No such thing as public transportation in these parts. You may as well be living in the back woods. :-D I have never hear of Dick so I have not talk to him at all. Does he have an e-mail address that I could write to him? I am just hoping there is a little bit more info in the obits than what a plain death cert. will give. You know, give the person a soul. I just wish it did not take so darn long to get a document out of either the town clerks or from Albany. I know with Albany, I can expect to wait a minimum of 6 months for the document. You have a nice day and thanks for the tip.

Hi, I have received 5 of their marriage, birth and death books and they have been an invaluable help in my research. One of the names I am researching was Belec in Quebec but changed to Belecque, Beneket, Baylake in Clinton County and other variations - with these books in hand I was able to trace them - it was tedious and time consuming but I read each and every entry noting the names of godparents or witnesses as well as the name of the couple getting married or the child being christened. This allowed me to discover the different spellings, sometimes only recognized the first name but was able to associate the different surnames. So now I know that the original ggrandpa I was looking for in Clinton County also had two sisters who married and had children there (because they were listed as godparents to other couples children) and so on. I now have quite a thread to follow and am re-assembling all collateral family members. Well worth the expense. Regards, Andree
