My Niver Ancestors arrived in Livingston Manor, Columbia County 1754. Story goes that early on two of the sons were killed by Indians. Anybody know where you might find information on people killed by Indians in Columbia County? Thanks, Arlene

If I might ask a truly novice question, I have been unable to locate my families in the 1840, 1850, 1860, censuses. I have found wives, brothers, children, etc in several. For instance, I would like to find 1850--a first marriage before husband died in 1854, 1860, widow with daughter and new husband and new son b 1859. Are there state censuses, say in 1855, 1865, 1875, 1885 where I might seek my missing people? How could I access them? Thanks, Candi in California

I have received email concerning quite a few mistakes in the Cronkhite genealogy, especially concerning the early people mentioned in it. Since it is a published work, I cannot change them. However, I can make a separate page of email messages containing corrections or people that any of you would like me to add. You can find directions for this on my webpage. I have added a note of Caution to the file so that the inexperienced researcher doesn't accept all of the genealogy as truth. I have also moved the genealogy to a new location. Here is its new URL. http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~clifflamere/OLists/Cronkhite-Gen.htm Margaret Cronkhite Taylor has written a much expanded introduction. Cliff
