I was thinking it may be a name change. I am trying to help a person whose gr grandparents were John and Emily Surrine. His grandmother was Mary E Surrine who married a Michael Smith. I have not been able to find her at all before her marriage to Michael. I only find John and Emily in the 1910 and 1920 Census. I should be able to find John in the 1860-1870-1880-1900 census but nothing. I'll try that spelling and the Massachusetts area.

Someone from my family married a Urias Surriner who was born 1818 in Salisbury, Litchfield County, Connecticut. He and his family lived in Housatonic, Berkshire County, Mass. I don't have any more information on the family, but the names are so similar and the areas adjacent to one another so it's worth investigating.

Odell, Jr. She married prior to 1801 Austin C. Odell who was born 8 Jun 1774 Queensbury, Warren Co, NY; He died 1827 in Guilford, Chenango Co, NY.

The federal census records don't list the county of birth, just the state. I know from my research there were Akins living in Dutchess County. I don't remember if any of the Quaker Akins moved to Easton, Washington County, from there.
