Anna, I'm looking for more info about my ancestor James Cunningham who was in Virgil as early as 1810. We believe his wife was Elizabeth (from gravestones). James, along with other ancestors by the name of Daniel and Samuel Herring came to Kalamo, Eaton Co., MI in the 1830s. Are there any Pomeroys? Am I right, the 1810 census for Cortland Co. is lost? Any help appreciated.

James CUNNINGHAM is the first name on the list for District # 35. His neighbors are Curtis Gridley, John Fisher, John HERRING, William Shapley, John Stanton, Henry Smith. James Cunningham has been assigned 4 days on the upkeep of the road. John Herring has been assigned 7 days for upkeep on the road. Not necessarily more land, may just be road frontage. This was dated June 4th. 1825, Virgil, NY. for road assignments. Did not do the "C" or "H" in the 1820 census for Virgil. Now checking on the 1830 census. Be back if I find them on the few pages I have. I did check 1800 Onondaga Co. census and no Cunningham or Herring there in the town I copies. But could be there and just did not do that town. My ancestors fought in the Rev. War and were in the New York Line , 2nd Regiment. There is a Moses Cunningham listed among the Privates. Then went to list for the Military tract for Township #21 for Hector for the drawing of lots for land. No Herring or Cunningham listed. But this is just one of many Military tracts. Still pulling information , will get back if I see anything. Anna

The John HERRING on the list is: John HERRING b. Nov. 26, 1764 in Dedham, Norfolk Co., MA, d. aft. 1840, poss. in MI, m. in Northampton area, Hampshire Co., MA, Mar. 26, 1785 to Temperance POMEROY. Their known children are: Polly b. bef. 1794 in NY m. Reuben GRIDLEY bef. 1814; Samuel b. 1797 in Cortland Co., NY m. Deborah GRIDLEY 1819; Nathan; Daniel b. 1800 NY m. Hannah E. CUNNINGHAM in 1828; Milton P. b. 1808 in Virgil, Cortland Co. m. bef. 1835 to Lucy J. PARKER b. 1816 in NY, of Virgil, Cortland Co; Marc in Michigan
