Hi Folks, I've been trying to find information on my ggreatgrandparents, Marcius Blodgett Williams(1812-1893) and Julia Miner(1824-1884), who married in Homer, NY, in 1836. I have not found the reference as yet in the Homer town records or the Congregational and Methodist Episcopalian records. Marcius was a lay minister in the latter. They moved to Pierce Co., WI, in the mid 1850's. I have been able to trace Marcius quite easily back to the original settler, Robert Williams, and his wife Elizabeth Stalham, but have been largely unsuccessful finding Julia Miner's roots. There is fairly strong evidence that she was an older sister of Reuben Fletcher Miner, whose parents were Charles Miner and Lucinda Dunham, both of Seneca, NY.... perhaps. I haven't been able to verify this connection, nor find the parents of Charles and Lucinda. I have information on Marcius and Julia's children, but he was married twice before: (1) Almira/Alvira Barnes? (1812-1843) and (2) Sarah Swan (1810-1845). I have found nothing as yet re these two women, either. Do any of these names "ring a bell" with anyone??? Thanks Judy

Does anyone know of any Baptist Church records for Truxton between 1820 and 1830? Was there even a Baptist Church there at that time? Anyone have any Graves family living there at that time? Thanks, Meg
