Attn: BELDEN Researchers Helen and Dreanna & List Members I recently saw a couple of postings on the BELDEN surname. I am looking for descendents of Joseph H. CONGDON (b. 1837, d. 1919) and Marion F. BELDEN (1846-1906). They were in Washington County New York. Both are buried in the Free Will Baptist Cemetery on Backus Road, Putnam. We know of one son Carl who was born 1871/72 and died June 15th 1884. Were there other children? Joseph was in the Enlisted 123rd NY Infantry. His parents were Hiram CONGDON and (Cybil) Alvira (sometimes seen as Almira) FISH. Our CONGDONs had a Clinton Co. connection, so might the BELDENs. We are looking for living relatives searching this line or any further information coming down! Any assistance appreciated. Thank you, Unette Lemke unette@aol.com unette@ticon.net
