I have a Benjamin C Parker born 1833 in Lapeer, Cortland Co.,NY died 4 Sept 1912 in Cortland, buried in Cortland Rural Cemetery. His wife was Catherine M Cornwall (Cornwell ?) born 1844, died 30 April 1912. She is buried in Cortland rural Cemetery also. They were married on 6 March 1879 in Homer, NY. Does anyone know if they had any children?? Benjamin had children from a previous marriage, but we wonder about this marriage. They were young enough to have had children. Does anyone know??

Dear friends and possible cousins. I have a FTB compiled by the Burt Bro's who are my cousins of Minnesota. This is similar to another one have which was compiled by Zola Covell Salven. Perhaps these surnames ring bells with some of you as our ancestors were from Central Ny. Mass, Conn., Maine, Rhode Island, England that I noted as I was setting here trying to update a little of the information that I had knowledge of as it applied to my own family. Sad to say you wont find me listed or my sister or my father. But you will find my mother. If I knew how to enter the info without goofing the whole book up I would. But I don't so it will remain as is. But here are a few of the surnames that do appear and lest I forget many of these people settled in Green Co., Wisconsin, and also Iowa. Then all the way to Oregon. HILLS this is first families America dating back to 1632 in Mass and Hartford, Connecticut. Burt some of this line and others in the book link to Canada, Hare, Hurlburt, Bidwell, Sanders/Saunders line, Coon?, Dodge, Covell, Salven, Cessna of Pennsylvania. All Cessna's are related in the united States of America. Towns direct fm England I think to Wisc or Minn. This document will print out to about a 110 pages. There are only two ways I can send it. That is by copying and pasting or as an attachment. I wish I could do otherwise. But I rcvd it as txt and that is all I know how to do with it. Many of the people in this history were pioneers of our great country. It starts out with my GGGgparents Joel Hills and Mary "Polly" Fox. They were from Connecticut. One of their sons led a wagon train to Oregon from around Missouri in or about 1850. Who was he well he was Cornealious Joel Hills. An interesting note about it or at least to me. There was a young lad by the name of Geo W. Riddle on the wagon train and was about 11 or 12 years old at the time. This young lad later wrote about his trip with my GGG-uncle Cornelius Joel and could not heap a enough praise on him and the respect he had for him. One of Joels descendants had the town of Jasper, Oregon named for him. As for ole Geo W. Riddle he too had Ridddle, Oregon named for him. Now why should say this all is an interesting note other than some history and my GGGuncle. Well you see my maternal grandfather was also a George W. Riddle. You will find him with my grandmother Mary Sanders the #45 in the book. But for any of you who had ancestor's that migrated west in or around the 1840's--1850's you may just find a conection. Least I forget the Skillings of the State of Maine are a large portion of this family. I would ask a favor of any of you that might be interested in this. I would dearly love to see a copy of it placed in your Historical Society, Such as Cortland,Onondaga, Chenango and Madison Counties and that includes the county Rome, Ny is in, as one of my g-uncles was born there. Yes it will cost you a little time and money in materials. If this is a problem then let me know and I will be more than happy to cover your cost. Stanley Boyd Brookshier, Sr Knoxville, Tennessee

Often we don't appreciate what we have until it is irretrievably lost. Such is the case with me Wednesday evening having learned of the sudden passing Tuesday afternoon of one of my closest friends. Thinking back over this short week - I believe we saw each other on Sunday and then again Tuesday morning. Sitting here alone working on of all things, cemetery records, surrounded by 3 of my cat family with the melancholy music of Enya playing in the background I had to stop more than once as waves of memory have swept through my mind and my eyes become blurred and my throat tight. I write this not for your sympathy but to challenge you to let your family and friends know how you care or love them while the chance remains for you to do so. I know that while my friend and I had the bond we did - we could have spent more quality time together. Since I can no longer do that with this particular friend I too am taking my own challenge seriously with those I have left. Mother's Day is gone for this year, Father's Day is here but every day we have to be with family and friends is precious. Please don't waste the opportunity to say a kind word or give a loving touch to those you care for. Tim

Electa Stacy was born in Harford, NY about 1836.......daughter of Truman and Mary Stacy. She married Benjamin C Parker who was born about 1833 in Lapeer, New York. The 1876 Atlas Map shows Benjamin Parker living on Adams Rd. This road connects Daisy Hollow and Owego Hill roads. Electa died Feb 27, 1875 in Harford, NY. We are unable to find out where she is buried........We have checked the Harford and Harford Mills Cemeteries....also the Virgil Cemeteries.....can anyone help us? We are also trying to find out about Benjamin C Parker. In the 1880 Census for Harford, it looks like maybe he has a new wife, Kate. Have not been able to find where they might be buried either. Benjamin and Electa are my great great grandparents.............can anyone help me?? Patty "Genealogy is the art of irritating the living and confusing the dead!"
