Hi, I have completed the entering of the St. Patrick marriages for Franklin Co., NY. There is 838 marriages in all. They can be found on the following page. http://www.genexchange.com/county.cfm?state=ny&county=franklin Kelly Townsend San Antonio, TX [email protected] Home Page http://www.geocities.com/Heartland/Bluffs/1415 The Patenaude Families of North America http://meltingpot.fortunecity.com/virginia/670/ Franklin County NYGenExchange Coordinator

I haven't posted my names to the list in a long time so I will try again. William J. Fitch, b. around 1801 in CT, lived in Dickinson Center and died in Franklin County after 1860. His daughter, Loduska, was born in VT. In 1847, she married Hollis Barnes in Franklin County, NY. Hollis was born in MA, Dec. 10, 1791. He was the son of Benjamin Franklin Barnes and Permelia Johnson. Benjamin Franklin Barnes was born Dec. 10, 1791 in MA, lived in Franklin Co., VT for a time and had moved to Dickinson Center around 1830. Permelia Johnson was born Dec. 10, 1796 in VT and died in Dickinson Center on Jan. 7, 1856. Any information about these Fitch, Barnes or Johnson ancestors would be appreciated. _________________________________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free E-mail from MSN Hotmail at http://www.hotmail.com.

The web site: http://www.nysl.nysed.gov/nysnp/217.htm will give you the path to follow. Newspaper research is not difficult, but, having the time period is very important. Without that, you will have to look through several rolls of film. Send for the death certificate of Alexander Yeddo or look through the death index for the exact date of his death, the look for that particular microfilm. Mac

I was wondering if there is anyone out there in this really really quite list that might be able to do a newspaper lookup for me? I am looking for an article on an accident that happened, I believe in Bombay, the only thing I am sure of though is that it happened "up north" I don't know if there even is one for sure but considering the subject matter, I believe there very well might be. My great grandfather George Myers was driving a car while drunk and had an accident that killed my great uncle Alexander Yaddow/Yeddo. I can only tell you that the accident happened somewhere in the 1920's or 30's. It most likely happened in Bombay. Maybe if someone could just do a death notice search for Alexander Yaddow/Yeddo ( could be spelled any number of ways but Yaddow and Yeddo were the predominate spellings during that time period) I would at least have a time frame to go on if there were a notice written in the paper.

Hi All I am looking for any info on the families of John W. Gates and Virginia Jane Guyette. They were married around 1840 +-? They seemed to travel back and forth several times from around Malone, NY and Colchester Vermont. John could also be know as Louis and used the last names of Gates, Lashua, Lashaway. I have his parents as John and Mary Gates. He was born in Canada so his name could be Jean or Jean Baptiste Virginia Jane's parents are Joseph Guyette born Canada and Amilata Nanzel born England. Her mothers name was hard to read so it may be similar. They had several children born in Malone and one in Bangor, NY. Thanks for any help, I am stuck at this point on this line.

I would like to exchange information with anyone on this line. I can share quite a bit about the Potter and Stratton lines, but would like to know more about this particular family.

He married Lucy Sophronia Potter the daughter of Sylvester Potter {Sylvester (Andrew6, Oliver5, William4, John3, John2, Robert1) was born 18 April 1785 in Clarendon, Rutland, VT, and died 05 August 1866 in Brushton, Franklyn, County, NY.} and Polly/Mary Stratton {Polly (David6, Richard5, Ichabod4, Richard3, Samuel2, Samuel1) was born 20 November 1790 in Williamstown, MA, and died 12 March 1837 in Bangor, Franklin County, NY}. Lucy was born 21 October 1813 in Bangor, Franklin Co., NY. Children of Alfred Silsby and Lucy Potter are: i. Norman2 Silsby, born Abt. 1837. ii. Samuel W.

Aruna is a very uncommon name -- you can do a global search on it on Gen Forum and not get a lot of responses. However, it is possible that one child of Emeline and Aruna's might be David -- or at least he is related. Orille Parks married David Wood and one son was Aruna Parks Wood. While Orille was born in Ashford, CT, she early in life went to live in Sudbury, Rutland Co., VT and then about 1806 her father and children [he was a widower] moved to Malone, Franklin County. We do not know much about Aaron Parks [Orille's father] except that he served in the Rev War and that his first wife was Rachel Walker. But I suspect that my family is linked, somehow, to yours.

Looking for ancestry on Emeline BARTLETT (1789 NH- 1865 Malone, NY) who married Arunah WOOD, s/o Enos (Sr) WOOD (one of the earliest settlers). She is buried at Morningside Cemetery. I also am hoping to find the names of their children. I tried to locate a few children and believe they may be: George, Nelson, and Douglass. I found nothing on any daughters and only have the sons (if they are) by trying to follow some things written in History of Franklin County. Sure would appreciate any correspondence from people researching these lines. I can provide some ancestral information on Arunah if anyone is interested. Thanks, Robin
