Dear Flakes, I don't beg for help often but now is the time...! My GGGGGrandmother ( Eliza Ann DENNIS VANAUKEN, 1811-1877) left a small handmade booklet with family names and dates written in it. Several names intrigue me. They are: Shadrach DENNIS d. Oct 1835, James H. DENNIS d. 17 Mar 1892, and Jonas L. DENNIS d. 10 May 1868. There is also the notation: "Sarah BEVIER died January the 18 1862 aged 49 years" a) All the names sound like her family members. I am unable to find ANY info about any of the DENNIS names. As a married woman she lived in the Cato/Ira/Red Creek area. b) I did find that Sarah BEVIER is buried in the Owasco Rural Cemetery - at least the burial date is the same. Who was her husband? Could it be Matthew? Is it possible that her maiden name was DENNIS and she is Eliza Ann's sister? Please...all you DENNIS and BEVIER people...look over your notes and see if you can come up with any help. I have struggled with this seemingly easy puzzle for years but I know someone out there must have at least part of the answer! Thanks for listening...Sharon
