Hi Tamara, My gtgrmother Lois Ann SMITH Marble had a brother Isaac Smith who went to Colorado. Ruth Huggler ruthie@hvc.rr.com might be able to tell you more. Her gtgrmother was a sister to Lois & Isaac. Just received pictures of an Isaac Smith and sister Mary from Barbara Heard (this list) who apparently lived in Oregon as it is so marked on the pictures. May or may not be the same. Have yet to find out - maybe Ruth H has a picture of our "Uncle Isaac". I don't.

Hi Carol, One distant cousin who is a bit too far removed for me to research married a Sprague. But I'm not following his line. Thanks for thinking of me though. Barbara

Hello Jean, What Crippen's are you researching? I have one Crippen line who lived in Delaware County for a time. My GG grandfather, Gurdon B. Crippen (1831 - 1902) moved around a bit living in Stamford for a few years in the 1860's and 70's. He was a teacher (in Margaretville), then a Methodist Episcopal minister and also ran a store in Stamford for a while (I found an advertisement in the Bloomville Mirror for Crippen & Sturgess). He and his wife Adaline Palmer (1828 - 1893) bought and sold a bit of land in Delaware County. He was also a Justice of the Peace for Delaware County for a few years. According to the 1865 Census for Stamford he was born in Otsego County. In the 1870's he was sent by the Methodist Episcopal Church to Nebraska where he spent most of the rest of his life, only coming back to Greene County NY in his 60's or so to marry Amy Burtis Chase the widow of Rev. D. Noble Chase (Gurdon had officiated at their wedding in 1859). He died in 1902 and is buried in the Lexington Cemetery in Greene County. His children all stayed in Nebraska. My mother was born in North Platte, Nebraska. He had at least one sister Selina Crippen Hitchcock, wife of Nelson Hitchcock of Maplecrest, Greene County, NY. I have a notebook of Gurdon's which includes a letter to Selina as well as to a brother, E. B. (Burt) Crippen, and another to a sister Maria. I have not as yet found any solid data on either of the last two. Selina is buried in Maplecrest with her husband and young daughter, Annie S. Hitchcock. I have undocumented info for Gurdon's parents and ancestors which my brother gave me, but have not had any luck verifying it as yet. According to it Gurdon's father was Amos Crippen (1875 - ??) and his mother was Mary Amelia Barrows Tim Tryon -----Original Message----- From: nydelawa-bounces@rootsweb.com [mailto:nydelawa-bounces@rootsweb.com] On Behalf Of Jean Belzer Sent: Monday, October 23, 2006 3:56 PM To: nydelawa@rootsweb.com Subject: [NYDELAWA] E: Roll Call - Wilhelm/William ROOS/ROSE Good to hear from you Betty.

It also states that he ran a tub mill above Downsville. I have not been able to find an immigration or naturalization record for him. I do have the names & dates of births of his children.

There are also Kemps in Potter County PA if anyone is interested. N Colgrove

Just as a side note, if you can't afford the ancestry.com subscription, you might want to check our your local Family History Center run by the Mormon Church. All FHC's have access to ancestry.com and a few other pay sites. All for free to you. The only thing you can't get to is the Canadian records from there. If your local FHC doesn't have access to it or the internet, they just need to call the central office in Salt Lake City and get information on how they can.

Hi Bonnie, Yes, the Census records are from Ancestry.Com. For a paid subscription price they have all Census records that are available from 1790, first Census, through 1930. They are indexed; however, some of the transcription for the index leaves a bit to be desired. You sometimes have to search the index by first name and locality to find the family you are looking for. But it is the best way to find folks that seem to be constantly moving. I think having the subscription is well worth every penny that I pay for it.

Dale, I do not have Gorton Paul McLean. Our McLeans start in Columbia County, NY in 1700s and came west thru Greene into Roxbury, Delaware Co and the line ends there in 1800s. Bonnie McLean Weese in Ontario might be able to help you. <bonnie.biggull@sympatico.ca> Roy

I've come across William Rose of Delaware County, but to my knowledge he was not the same as yours since I believe he was from Scotland. My line is Hugh Rose who came from Scotland and William was rumored to possibly have been his brother who came over around 1773. There was mention of his involvement in the Rev War, and there has been a stone located for the wife of William Rose erected by Hugh Rose (next to Hugh's first wife's stone). That is in Columbia County. There must have been more than one William.

I'm researching a Watson family from Walton although they also lived in Sullivan Co. Bert (Delbert/Albert) Watson was b. 9 December 1891 in Walton. According to his obit, his father was James Watson & Ida Slater. I'd like more on this family if anyone knows them Obit for Albert “Bert” Watson ... “Albert “Bert” Watson, 81, of 17 1/2 King St., Norwich, died Wednesday (June 27, 1973) at the Chenango Memorial Hospital. He was born December 9, 1891 in Walton, son of James and Ida Slater Watson. On August 31 1919 in Earlville he married Ruth Giles who survives. In the earlier years of his life he had worked for the Delaware and Lackawanna Railroad. He had engaged in farming in the e South Plymouth, Holmesville and Town of Norwich areas and had also worked in the shipping department of the Norwich Wire Works later in his life. He retired in 1958. Mr. Watson was a member of the Broad Street United Methodist Church of Norwich. Besides his wife he is survived by a daughter, Mrs. Brian (Shirley) Smith of Norwich four grandchildren, Sheryl, Susan, David and Douglas Smith, all of Norwich and several cousins. Funeral services will be held at 2 pm Saturday and the Robert J. Fahy Funeral Home, Norwich. The Rev. Edgar Brill, pastor of the Broad St. United Methodist church, will officiate. Burial will follow in the North Norwich Cemetery. Sally Chirlin

Hi Roy, Do you have a Gorton Paul McLean in your line? Gorton was my Grandfather. He owned McLean's Food Store in Walton with his brother, Jerry. I don't remember when they sold it. If memory serves me it's a drug store now. I remember as a little boy walking down there with my grandmother when I would visit in the summers. He also had a brother James and a sister Katherine. Thanks for any info you can help with, cause my grandmother (Eloise) doesn't know much about his ancestors. -- All the Best & 73's Dale Miller, KC2CBD Tennessee Ham Operator since 1997 Member of YahooPipesmokers and ASP since February 2005 stpatrick2spam@twlakes.net stpatrick3spam@twlakes.net stpatrick3spam@gmail.com (cut the spam to reply) VOTE TO REBUILD! www.twintowersalliance.com --- Roy Crawford wrote: > Resending; > > Hi Steve, > > I was getting so many emails I decided to unsubscribe a few days ago, > but Rene kept me on. > > I have a Mary Simonson b 1834 parents John Simonson b 1801 and Lois > Colby b1807 and a Mary A.

Resending; Hi Steve, I was getting so many emails I decided to unsubscribe a few days ago, but Rene kept me on. I have a Mary Simonson b 1834 parents John Simonson b 1801 and Lois Colby b1807 and a Mary A. Simonson b 1866 parents James Simonson b 1840 and Mary Jane McLean b 1840 Our McLean line goes back to Charles McLean b abt 1752 and wife Hannah Decker b 1752 and her line goes back to Broer Decker in the 1600s. There is a book on Decker Family. Last of Our Decker line --- George W. Decker b 1806 and wife Hannah McLean, are in cemetery at Methodist church Grand Gorge. During the time of the American Revolution a Van Arsdale family changed their name to Simonson and came up from New Jersey and settled in SW Schoharie County and across into Delaware County from Grand Gorge to Stamford. I have that Simonson line back to Van Arsdale and Van Arsdale back to 1600s, but that is one line, not collateral lines. Now, I do not know how much information you have, but I am interested. There was another McLean family in Delaware, very prominent I believe. I would like to know what info you have on the McLeans even if we don't connect. We do have Russell ancestors, but only in Massachusets 1700s. Roy in Ohio

I changed to the list format, and received only 1 set of messages and immediately returned to the digest format. Easier!

Carol, Thanks for the tip, unfortunately the online census available through Volusia County Florida Library system does not allow for wildcard searches. Whenever I have tried the use of an "*" I get a no results answer. I have used the no surname with census year, state, county etc. to good effect elsewhere. Using Wilbur I did not find any hits in 1910 and it would not work 1900 and before as he was 30 in 1920 and would be too young to be a head of household. ----- Original Message ----- From: <CMMEADOWS2@aol.com> To: <nydelawa@rootsweb.com> Sent: Monday, October 23, 2006 8:11 AM Subject: Re: [NYDELAWA] Roll Call Demilt-Response to Marty Bacon > > Hi Marty, > > When I hit a census problem where the surname could be transcribed in a > number of different ways, I then enter the first name and the birth year +/- 5 > years and the state of birth and the first few letters of the surname followed > by an asterisk ... in the case of this family, I would enter dem* and the > other information and see what kind of results I get.

I am wondering if any of the photos of the Guild family also included photos of Sophia Elizabeth (Beach) Guild 1817-1910, wife of Marshall Guild all of Walton. Sophia was the daughter to Gordon Beach and granddaughter to Richard Mansfield Beach of Franklin. Richard was the son of Timothy Beach, my 4th great grandfather who settled in the Unidilla area in 1784. Kind regards, John H.
