Posted on: Essex Co. NY Queries Reply Here: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/NY/Essex/11019 Surname: Burlingame ------------------------- I have an ancestor Joseph Burlingame who enlisted in the Civil War from Prairie Du Chien, Wisconsin. His enlistment papers fron 1862 state he is 44 years old, born in Essex Co, NY. It would make sense for him to be related to the family of Daniel and Elizabeth Burlingame, whose sons Joseph, James and John were born in the 1770s and spent part of their lives in Moriah, but I can't make the connection. I'd love it if anyone could help. My Joseph married Affa Rosencrantz in 1849 in Grant Co, WI, had 4 kids, bought land in Crawford Co, and enlisted in 1862. He was killed in the Battle of Baxter Creek in 1863.
