Posted on: Columbia County NY. Query Forum Reply Here: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/NY/Columbia/11666 Surname: DENNIS, FRANCISCO, ODEL ------------------------- I located William DENNIS on the Onondaga Co., NY 1872 state census. He was 71 years old and born in Columbia Co. His wife was Adeline, age 62, and born in Vermont. I'm not sure, but believe this man was the father of Malcolm or Maklon Dennis, who was born in Onondaga Co., in 1832. Malcolm married Margarette FRANCISCO, ca 1860/1, place unknown, but they were neighbors of William and Adeline Dennis in Cicero, Onondaga Co., NY in 1872. Margarette was born in Dutchess Co., NY, ca 1840. Any help in placing Margarette in Cicero while her father and stepmother lived in Rhinecliff, Dutchess, would be a big step forward in finding her mother's family, the ODELs/ ODELLs. Columbia Co. might hold the key. Shirley Maynard MaeMay510@aol.com
