Hello Tim and Cortland List Members, I realized I sent my initial comments to you personally Tim. Important also to share and post to the list. My response to your posting updates to the Cortland L is Thank you and I appreciate the updates. My interests lie in quite a few counties in NY. Cortland especially as my Dad and his families all come from there. Parts of my families also moved to Chenango and Madison, so appreciate your updates and hope you will continue. Thank you again, Judith Mullally Boatman

Tim and the list, If you would consider a "regional" mailing list on this area, something like NYFingerLakes-L, then I would NOT complain about the intermix of data about the various counties, as our ancestors are so intertwined in Central NY. I belong to NYFingerLakes list, and also to some of its individual mailing lists that the "Flakes" lists covers to get a more exacting type of info. So a regional list for Chenango, Madison, Cortland, whatever would be better suited for Tim's type of listings. But the individual county mailing lists should be about that particular county, not about the other counties. Melinda wovenroots@alaska.com > > I was born and lived to college age in Chenango Co.

Cortland County - would the members of this list give me feedback as to whether or not you find these updates useful? Chenango County - new this week: 1892 listing of residents of Smyrna from a New York, Ontario and Western railway guide: http://www.rootsweb.com/~nychenan/92smyrna.htm other stations are mentioned but at this time I don't have that material. ------------ Two more cemeteries: Harrisville in Sherburne TWP and Stanbro in Otselic TWP: http://www.rootsweb.com/~nychenan/cemetery.htm ------------ A short SKINNER gedcom - http://www.rootsweb.com/~nychenan/gedcom.htm Madison County: DeRuyter TWP - Hillcrest Cemetery Internment Records (1816 - 2000) http://www.rootsweb.com/~nymadiso/hillcrst.htm - 3161 burials.

I'm on the Cortland mailing list to learn more about Cortland County - if I wanted to learn more on Chenango county, I would subscribe to that mailing list. There should be no cross over. Each county is unique. That's my two cents worth.

I am looking for information on the Merrimans who lived in Broome and Cortland Co. The marr record for my Alfred and Julia (Reynolds) White was performed by an Elder Merriman in Broome Co. NY. I would like to know if his full name and if he has any connection to the Julia (Hall) Merriman who is buried in Glenwood Cemetery in Cortland Co. If there is a connection, it might help explain who my gr grandmother, who lived with Alfred and Julia, ended up meeting my gr grandfather, Richard Hall. Vicki

Vicki, Thanks for the heads up on that. It means a lot when someone shares what they hear. It is frustrating not to know about the internet problems that come up.

I have found out in the last few hours that there seems to be a problem with the national system of routers that are used to channel internet web pages to people. This relay system seems to have broken down at an AT &T facility. At least that is what the traces I have seen show. Not everybody will be affected by this outage. For example, myself and the Cortland ACC, Jim, can navigate pages with no problem. However, it was a Cortland user that first alerted me to the problem. Depends on where you are in connection to the outage. Proximity isn't the key, however, since the outage is supposedly at a Missouri facility and I live in Arkansas. The problem is not a solely Rootsweb problem. AOL, CNN and other national systems are affected by the outage. Symptoms include page time out messages and garbled pages. These problems should be temporary. However, if you receive a garbled page from either of my sites, please let me know so can double check it after the problem is resolved.

I am trying to find information on my great grandfather, Vivian Gates. He married Rose Bradley. Vivian died when my grandfather was 18 months old. Probably around 1901-1903 timeframe.

Slater was a nephew of Charlotte (Slater) Fuller's, by her older brother Joseph. Oscar was featured in the Biographical Review - 1895. The following is the write-up from the Biographical Review - 1895 The Leading Citizens of Delaware County, NY OSCAR J. SLATER, a well known and expert mechanic of Deposit, was born May 28, 1840, in the town of Bainbridge, Chenango County, NY, being the son of Joseph Slater and his wife, Sally Sylvius, of Northampton County, Pa., a descendant of one of the early Dutch settlers of that section. Israel Slater, the father of Joseph, was born in the town of Windsor, Vt., where he received his early education, and where he resided until after his marriage. He studied medicine, and followed that profession with marked success in the town of Windsor, also later on in Bambridge. From early youth he showed marked ability in mechanics, and, after coming to New York, used to work as a blacksmith as well as a farmer. At one time, having built a forty foot barn, he made by hand all the nails used to shingle it. He married Susanna Gage, of Washington County, New York, and with his wife made the journey through the wilderness to Bainbridge, bought a tract of timbered land, and erected with his own hands a log cabin, which was the only shelter for his family for many seasons. Many were the hardships and discouragements; and caution had to be taken against the wolves, bears, wildcats, and panthers which in those days abounded. On one very dark night Mr. Slater was followed by a pack of wolves a distance of three miles through dense woods to his own door, although for some reason they did not dare attack him. Israel Slater served his country at the time of the War of 1812, being one of the brave minutemen stationed at Sackett's Harbor when the British threatened that place. Mrs. Slater died when sixty-two years of age, in 1854, and left a family of eight children; Joseph, the father of the subject of this sketch; Marcus; Benjamin; Nathan; Albert; Delia; Caroline; and Charlotte. Her son Albert served under Sherman in Wood's division, and was killed in the battle of Resaca, having had his thigh shattered by a shell. Joseph Slater was born at Bainbridge in 1810 and received his education in the schools of his native town. When he had attained sufficient years, he learned the trades of millwright and joiner, in which callings he actively engaged for himself in the town of Greene, Chenango County, and was considered one of the best mechanics in the country. Mr. Slater was a Democrat in politics, and a member of the Universalist church. His career was a short one, as he was cut down in early manhood, and left a wife and four children - Lydia, Louisa, Oscar, and Julia. At the death of Mr. Slater the home was broken up. Oscar, the subject of this sketch, went to live with his grandfather, Israel Slater; Lydia lived at the home of Hiram Bennet, of Bennetsville; and Louisa, at the home Milton Bennett, of the same place. Mrs. Sally Slater, with her daughter Julia, returned to her old home in Pennsylvania, where she later married for her second husband Urias Holenbeck of Belvidere Ill., and went West, taking with her Julia and Louisa, who there married and settled. Louisa became the wife of Seth Blood. Julia married David M. Gibbs, who soon went to the front in the war of the Rebellion. After his return at the close of the war they finished their education at Normal, Ill., and then taught for nine years, as principal and preceptress, the high school at Rosemond, Christian County, Ill., and later, for eleven years, the graded school at Genoa, Ill., where they now reside. Lydia married William L. Axtell, a brother of Mrs. Oscar J. Slater, and lived near the home of her brother's family until she died, in 1892, greatly lamented. Oscar J. Slater received his education in the schools of Bennettsville and Sanford, where he lived with his aunt Charlotte, wife of Hiram B. Fuller. In 1861 Mr. Slater started in active business life in the town of Sanford, Broome County, N. Y., as a carpenter and joiner, which trade he followed until 1864, when he went to Masonville, and there learned the cooper's trade. In 1866 he started in the cooper's business at Deposit with a cousin, Orville Wilson. The partnership continued for about two years, and then Mr. Slater bought the place where he now resides, and carried on his business for over twenty-five years, up to August, 1894. When twenty-four years of age, he married July 17, 1864, Margaret Axtell, daughter of Joseph and Caroline (Harper) Axtell, of China. Mrs. Slater received a district school education, and was brought up at home, assisting her parents in the work of the farm, and learning to spin wool and flax. The training which she received in all domestic pursuits excellently fitted her to oversee the home which she now possesses. Mr. and Mrs. Slater have one child, Stella Olivia Slater. She was graduated at the Deposit High School in the class of 1888, and is an accomplished musician, having received her musical education at Clinton Liberal Institute, at Fort Plain, N. Y. She has large classes of pupils on the piano, both in her own and neighboring towns, and enjoys an enviable reputation as a teacher. Mr. Slater inherits his skill as a mechanic from his grandfather and father, and through his success in his work has made for himself a pleasant home. Changes in the butter trade having made the cooper business unprofitable, he has now, January 1, 1895, abandoned it, and accepted a pleasant and responsible position in the employ of the New York Condensed Milk Company in their condensery in Deposit. Mr. Slater's family are members of the Baptist church in Deposit, working for the interest of the people among whom they live, and holding the respect of the whole community. Mr. Slater is a Republican in politics, and as a representative of this party has been offered several times the most important town offices, all of which he has refused. He has stood like a rock for the principles of his party, successfully combating, through the press and in public debate, what he sternly characterizes as "the false claims of the Democrats, the heresies of the Greenbackers, and the hypocrisy of the leaders of the Prohibition movement." He has also done some good work as a lay preacher. ----------- 1890 Special Schedule: Surviving Soldier, Sailors and Marines, and Widows, Etc.
