Abraham's first wife was Catherine Parks; I do not have her date of death. Susanna's first husband was Johnathan Gregory, who died 27 April 1862. Abraham and Susanna were married in 1863. I believe they were married in Canada, since their oldest child (dob 17 February 1864) was born in Ontario, Canada, according to census records. They were living in Illinois in1866 and 1871, when subsequent children were born to them there, also according to the census. They were in Rutland Township, Humboldt County, Iowa, for the 1880 census. Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.

    1. [NYDUTCHE] THOMPSON - WILCOX Family Photograph
    2. Shelley Cardiel
    3. I've "rescued" an old photograph of Isaac THOMPSON which was taken at the W. E. Bain Studio which I believe was in Illinois. The photograph appears to have been taken in the 1890's with Mr. THOMPSON appearing to be in his 80's at the time the photograph was taken. In addition to his name, someone has written "born Nov 18th 1796" and "A Merry Xmas and Happy New Year" on the back of the photograph. Based on limited research I was able to locate the following information regarding Isaac and his family: Isaac THOMPSON b. 18 Nov 1796 in Pittston, PA the son of James THOMPSON (b. 4 Jan 1759 in Ireland) and Susannah Jane SKELTON (b. 17 Aug 1750 in Buckingham, PA). Isaac married Mariah "Maria" WILCOX (b. Beekman, NY) on 18 Jun 1818. Isaac died 29 Sept 1900 in Lee, IL. Isaac and Maria had the following children, Matilda; Jane; Almon; Alva D.; Ezekial G.; Isaac; David; William H.; John W.; Francis Ashbury; George L.; Rhoda S.; and Gardner W. THOMPSON all born between 1819 and 1841 in PA. Census records provide the following information regarding this family: 1860 census of Pittston Boro, PA: Isaac THOMPSON, age 63, a Farmer, born PA Maria THOMPSON, age 61, a Housekeeper, born NY Eliza THOMPSON, age 30, a School Teacher, born NY Gardner W. THOMPSON, age 19, a Farmer, born PA Dennis MCNERR, age 28, a Book Agent, born Ireland 1870 census of Alto Township, IL: Isaac THOMPSON, age 73, a Farmer, born PA Maria THOMPSON, age 72, Keeping House, born NY Gardner THOMPSON, age 28, born PA 1880 census of Alto, IL: Isaac THOMPSON, age 85, born PA, a Retired Farmer, parents born PA/Ireland Maria THOMPSON, wife, age 84, born NY, Keeps House, parents born NY/MA 1900 census of Alto Township, IL: Gardner W. THOMPSON, age 58, born Jul 1841, married 27 years, born PA, parents born PA/NY, a Farmer Mary E. THOMPSON, wife, age 46, born Oct 1852, married 27 years, 3 children/1 living, born IL, parents born NJ/PA Frank G. THOMPSON, son, age 23, born Oct 1876, born IL Isaac THOMPSON, father, age 103, a widower, born PA, parents born Ireland/Wales Cornelius LAYTON, boarder, age 48, born Mar 1852, born NJ, parents born NJ, a Farm Laborer I am hoping to be able to return the photograph to a member of this THOMPSON Family so that it can once again become a cherished family possession.

Unfortuately, now I'm receiving 3 copies of the Digest at the above address. Can the Admin figure this out??

    1. [NYDUTCHE] Fwd: Arthur and Hannah [CAUSTEN] VAIL
    2. C J Sheldon
    3. Begin forwarded message: From: C J Sheldon <CJSheldonim@Gmail.com> Date: March 28, 2008 11:51:21 AM PDT To: nydutche@rootsweb.com Cc: Suzanne@wades.com Subject: Arthur and Hannah [CAUSTEN] VAIL Dear Suzanne, Since I do not seem to have any other TRAVIS commections except as sister and brother-in-lae--may not have much for you bet am looking into my research-notes which have some overlap. These will NOT be very orderly because I am looking in variously- found notes,copied pages and sources,and family group sheets. I am NOT a typist,do not use a computer gen. program,so this takes time. 1-Locate the book Westchester Patriarchs by Norman DAVIS.Heritage Books.1988. SEE pp.240 and 241. I am missing those pages but top of 242 indicates 3 para.s about TRAVIS, but given -names are alpha. and on page 242 begin with two Roberts,Sarah,Silas,Thomas,Titus, and a William.For these, tha date ranges are 1665-1836. if those names-any- ring a bell, let me know.There is a possibly helpful note under Titus which states that in the Peekskill Library, there is an extensive 'catalog' of thier descendants. Also, I do not have the index to this book but remember that their were other page references to TRAVIS'-no doubt involving marrital connections,etc.. 2-In the BOOK Early Wills of Westchester Co,NY from 1664-1784---in the INDEX---are listed 19 references to TRAVIS. Many could be as witnesses -only a signature--but these often indicate a closeness to the family with the Will: This might provide clues that the Witness was a] a neighbor / friend b] a relative c] a member of the church-group to which both belong. Quakers OFTEN had other Quakers witness business dealings for them because they were trusted. There is one John TRAVIS listed but I did not copy that page. ---Before I add more, did you know that there were more than one VAIL branch and,if they were related, it was in England or before the Quaker movement came into N.AM..? One way to discern the two familiesin Westchester andDuchess Counties is-- if there is mention of men in the military after about 1730 ,perhaps even before.These were NOT Quakere ,who would opposed fighting to solve disputes. There suffered MUCH community abuse for this stand,of course. Many moved to Canada.They would and did offer relief to victims of was: For example, during the British seoge of New York City in the AM.REV. War--the Quakers often sent food and other supplies into the city to aid displaced people there. In town records, Quakers were credited for doing this. Do you have a date of marriage for John TRAVIS and Esther [VAIL]?I would like to have it.I have Esther-4- VAIL, born 1728 in Westchester Co.,NY died 1807 with no place of death. Esther is listed as child number 3 after brothers Aaron-4-who married Marthe [WARD] and Sampson-4- who married Sarah [WARREN],There was child No.4- Isaac-4-VAIL who married in Duchess Co. to Lydia [SHERMAN]. Aaron was married as Quaker in the NY Monthly Meeting in 1753. Bu. in Friends'Ground at or under auspices of--Nine Partners MM. in Duchess Co.,NY. -Sampson-Notes indicate he went to the Quaker Hill settlement in Duchess Co.,NY. Esther [VAIL] and JohnTRAVIS--no notes at least at this spot. ---Isaac went [eventually] to Oblong MM .Meeting in Duchess and bu.in Washington TWP. Duchss Co.,NY. There is a note without [my] obvious source-reference-- that the father Arthur ' went to TROY,NY.' NOTE; Arthur and wife were Presbyterian and she died in 1776 and Arthur 'a. 1771'] no places of death listed------ Suzanne--since parents OFTEN went with children in later years-and John and Esther TRAVIS -by me, anyway-- have not been found as QUAKER---whereas ALL the other three children were---would it make sense to look in the Troy area for John and Hannah and Hannah's mother and / or father,Arthur-3- VAIL? and perhaps in Presbyterian or other Protestant church records? Do you know for a fact that the TRAVIS family became Quaker, also? In your email,Suzanna, you stated, "childrens' births in Westchester, Pleasant Vattey." Please explain this to me because there is info. here new to me. Westchester is a county-as we know; as a TOWN -ship-it was organized in 1788. and it lies on Long Island Sound..The Village of Westcherter is part of that in the north part. [we are talking old-days,of course] Where is Pleasant Valley in Westchester Co.? I have not heard of one such there and do not find it. However, in Duchess Co.,there is a TWP. named Pleasant Valley. The villages or areas listed in WEST.Co. where I would be searching for TRAVIS are Rye,Mamaroneck,NY.and WHIT E PLAINS. People from RYE purchased White Plains in 1683:In 1720, it was divided among 41 proprietors and a TRAVIS was among these men. This info. from French's Gazzetter.1860. A Travis,Joseph-about the same age as John--is also named in French's on p.699 as one of four men who settled Peekskill,NY in 1764. In 1 1763 list of Freeholders in Duchess Co.,NY :,in Mamaroneck there is a John TRAVIS,Yeoman. A Daniel TRAVIS on Mar.24,1746 marries Amy [GRIFFEN] Her parents were Susannah [HAIGHT] and Richard Griffen b.1732.He moved to Upper Canada---ONTARIO,Can. today. He might have been one who left for reasons of persecution. In my Quaker SMITH's of Duchess Co.,NY there are no TRAVIS listed in the marriage records so I presume they attended Monthly Meetings in different parts of Duchess Co. from each other. All for today, Good luck, Charlotte J.Sheldon

(It is free to look at their transcribed index and can save a step in ordering microfilm.) For those without wills (and even with wills) you can order the index book for the surrogate records from the nearest LDS Family History Library. This index even gives the probate packet number for any papers which if they exist for your person (will or no will) you can then order/rent the microfilm that has that probate packet on it. All without leaving home and at less cost than doing it and getting copies at the probate office in Dutchess. A lot of times the copies will be better via microfilm because they were filmed 20 years ago or more when the paper was less aged. And sometimes you run across something the probate office deems to fragile to copy. There's a lot of good record sources filmed by the LDS that if they weren't filmed would only be available onsite in Dutchess County (or whichever area you are searching) . Do try to take a trip to enjoy the area and see/go to things you can't get to via internet if you can. Using the records filmed by the LDS can make you more informed before you get there.

    1. Re: [NYDUTCHE] Dutchess County Wills book?
    2. Sophie Gottemoller
    3. If there is such a book in anyone's possession, may I infringe on this researchers question. I am looking for wills of Walter G. Rhodes or any Rhodes at all. Would really appreciate getting any such information. This family did not leave much of a paper trail, even with 11 sons of Walter G. My husband's ancestor was Nathan Rhodes. Others were Samuel, Ebenezer, Walter, William, Abel, James B. ,Richard, John, Daniel, Joseph, .Thank you in advance if you are able to check this out. Thanks again.
