One of them married an Orcutt so I have two surnames the same as you. I would think these folks stayed together. After Columbia Cty, Samuel Anibal left in about 1800 with 12 families for Hamilton Cty, NY. Did any of your folks go there (later Fulton Cty)? Audrey

Cady, Statement. Ebenezer S. CADY was born in the town of Chatham, Columbia county, N.Y. Came to the village of Springville in 1858; is a carpenter and joiner; was married at Schuyler, Herkimer county, N.Y. in 1840, to Miss Mary OYER, who was born in 1817 at Schuyler, Herkimer county, N.Y. My father, Arnold CADY was born at Chatham, Columbia county, and served as volunteer of marines in defence of the New York harbor in the war of 1812. My mother’s maiden name was Sarah HUNT. She was born in Washington, VT. Grandfather’s name was Ebenezer CADY; he was a Captain in the war of the Revolution. Grandmother’s maiden name was Chloe BEEBE. She was born in Connecticut. The house my grandfather built in Chatham in 1761 and ’62 was built of pine timber, was taken down in 1824 and the timber was used in building the Presbyterian meeting house in the village of Spencertown, Columbia county, N.Y. In this house my grandfather’s two sons and vie daughters we! re born. The outside doors were made of pine boards, two thicknesses, cut into horizontally about half-way of their height, and at night barred on the inside with a stick. On the farm was an oak grove where the people assembled on the Sabbath to worship (they were Presbyterians), until they built a church on his farm, the first church in Chatham. This building was moved to Chatham four corners, a distance of one and one-half miles. The building was put on runners and under the runners small sticks were placed for rollers, and many ox teams were hitched to each of the runners and in that way the building was drawn to the spot and for many years the followers of the lowly Nazarene met at this humble church and offered their devotions to the God of Abraham, till finally later generations have sold the old church for a sheepfold, and build another church exhibiting more pride than piety. They had six children: Lucy A., born in 1840 and died in 1872. Sarah J., born in 1844; married Newela FRENCH. Maryette, born in 1847 and died in 1850. Cassius M., born in 1850 and died in 1871.

Many cemeteries were named after the families. The Cole Farm Cemetery (one of the oldest in Bradford County) is named after the Coles who owned the property originally. The persons buried there are family members.

Liz, The transcriptions of the cemeteries to which reference is made were done about 1920-1975. I examined the descriptions of, and directions to, all 359 cemeteries and burying grounds in the cemetery books at Columbia Co. Historical Society. The small private burying grounds (sometimes called cemeteries) had to be given some sort of name by the transcriber. From what I could tell, the name used (often it was just made up) was sometimes based on the predominant surname present on tombstones. At other times it was named after the surname of the land owner of that time. Sometimes it was named after a previous land owner, especially, I believe, if the present owner had a different surname and the cemetery was no longer being used. I believe that two or three had no names in the books, because I seem to recall being forced to make up that many names myself (I would have based the name on whatever text was provided to give a location of the cemetery). I don't understand what you mean when you say, "I would like to order a number of pages from the Books but an not sure what I should be looking for?" It would seem that you may not have used the Columbia Co. Master Burial Index to select the names of the people for whom you want records. If not, you should do that first.

[Columbia County Historical Society indices] are the cemeteries named after FARM owner? or after the original family who had the graves...in other words, would "Brown" cemetery be full of Browns or just on a "current" Brown farm?...same for Wilbur Plot etc..?
