I am searching for the John Palmer family. John came to the US from England/Ireland. (There is some discrepency between family story that says John came from Sheffield, England and the NY Census that says he came from Ireland in 1831). Anyway, the family story says John and his wife Eliza Durham owned a house in Owl's Head on the main road to Malone. Supposed the farm was purchased in 1893. As of 1990, a school teacher lived in the house and there were Palmer carriages still in the barn. I have been unable to locate my Palmer on any Franklin County Census records during this time period. At some point John moved to Champlain/Rouses Point and is buried in the Glenwood Cemetery, Champlain. Any info would be helpful. Thanks!! Mary

I am looking for information on Joseph LaRue and his wife Mary Dayton Miller. I found a Joseph LaRue in Dickinson on the 1810 Franklin County Census, with a wife and 7 children. I know that some of their children were named Morgan, Matthew, Mary, Joseph, Alexander Miller LaRue b. 8/11/1811, Caroline, Anna, William, Jane, Erastus and Daniel W. b. 5/5/1827 in Franklin County. They moved to Newton PA around 1829. I can not find any record on the Franklin County Census for 1820 though. Also, where would I find records, birth, marriage, death, etc. in Franklin County. Thank you in advance for your help. Sue ur help. Sue

Sorry about the error. Here is the correct address: http://www.rootsweb.com/~nyfrankl/ ncook@stny.lrun.com

Kathie, We just returned from the Constable/Malone area doing family graveyard searches for Chamberlain, Davenport, and Aubrey ancestors. We had a lot of luck! There is a partial but substantial list of Franklin Co. cemeteries on the Franklin Co. GenWeb site: http://www.rootsweb.com~nyfrankl/ There are also listings of burials in a few cemeteries. If you are in that area, stop at Tallon's Store at Constable Corners. Eugene Tallon is a wonderful gent with a wealth of knowledge about the area. He helped us locate several old family homes; as it turns out, he currently lives in one of them! Good luck! Nancy Cook ncook@stny.lrun.com

I am new to this list, and was wondering if there were any place I could get a list of cemetieries, and to check and see if my family had anyone buried there. we seem to be mostly around the Malone, Fort Covington, Constable area. Thanks in advance. Kathie

If those papers do exist on microfilm, is their a catalog on-line, or can someone post it to this list? I would be very interested in doing an interlibrary loan. I did this in North Dakota and lots of wonderful information. Thanks, Jeff DeHart Altadena, CA

The names of the papers I'm told are: Malone Evening Telegram and the Fort Covington Sun. There was a third the Palldeum (sp). All of the papers are suppossed to be available on microfilm at the Malone library. I'm looking for someone to do a lookup in the newspapers for the obits of my ancestors. I would be glad to cover any reasonable expenses and a little for the time and trouble. My 4th g grandparents: MOREHEAD, William d. July 28, 1871 Malone, Franklin, NY MOREHEAD, Mary (Reynolds) d.

In a message dated 99-06-28 07:13:33 EDT, you write: << Hi, if you have access to a Family History Center, you might read some census for the time period that your people lived. That would help you make some order in your records. Good luck.>> Thank you, Shirley for your reply. I have done that. There was a John L. Fuller in Malone at the time (1822) but I have his probate record and two Bible records that seem to show that he was NOT the John Fuller that fathered my great-grandfather George William Fuller. There were several other Fuller families in the area as noted by Bible records, probate records, census records, and land records. The Johns, except for John L., all seem to be the wrong age or I can't find enough to prove anything one way or another. Hoping that living Fuller descendants might be able to tell some emigration patterns that would help me zero in. Mary (Mary Alice Benedict Grindol)

I would like to correspond with anyone researching FULLERs in Franklin Co. 1822 or earlier. Specifically, I have been searching for the ancestors of George William Fuller born 1822 Malone, NY to John FULLER b. VT and ??? born Canada. I have been working on this problem for over 18 years and have accumulated an unbelievable amount of confusing data which I'll be glad to share with anyone else who is working on the same surname, even though they appear not to be related. Mary A. Grindol (Mary Alice Benedict Grindol)

Good day list! Would anyone have any information on or knowledge of a Madge (LYON) EDWARDS b. 1904 or 1905, wife of Ambrose C. EDWARDS 1898-1985. Was she the daughter of Frank and Chloe (O'DONNELL) LYON? Ambrose's residence listed as Tupper Lake, NY. He is buried in Mountain View Cemetery, Gabriels, NY. Unknown when or if she has died. Any info or leads would be greatly appreciated. Looking for descendants of Frank and Chloe. Kathleen O'Donnell Porter Corinth, VT Digging up: O'DONNELL, LYON, SPEAR, BLANCHARD, CHASE, CUNNINGHAM, BEARD, MELVIN, LAGRANGE, CASE RANGE, CASE

Is there a book that has names of people interred at Riverside Cemetery? I am looking for STEARNS and ELLSWORTH. Thanks, Jeff

Hi everyone, I am doing research on my ancestors, the EARLEY family and the BRAND family. The Earleys came from Canada East to Malone, Franklin County, New York before 1840. Some of the children were born in Canada and the younger ones in Malone. I believe Canada East was Quebec. Am I right? I believe the parents were SOPHIA and JAMES EARLEY. The children were: JOHN EARLEY, THOMAS L. EARLEY, WILLIAM EARLEY, ELIZABETH EARLEY, EDWARD EARLEY, GEORGE G. EARLEY, HARRIET EARLEY, PETER H. EARLEY, JAMES EARLEY and CATHERINE EARLEY. Thomas Earley married LORINDA BRAND in Malone on 25 June 1843. They had four children and migrated on to Ohio with their four children and Sophia followed the year after Thomas which would have been 1851. Lorinda was the daughter of DANIEL BRAND and the mother's maiden name was LEWIS. The Brands migrated from Vermont. Does anyone have information on either of these two families. I have no proof that Sophia and James were the parents but everything points to that. Thanks for any information anyone can provide. Also, I will share any information I have on these families.

Hello Mary, I am searching BERO and GREW / GROW family connection in Hogansburg, Franklin Co. Our oral family history is that Mary Ann BERO (1822-1903) lived in the small village of Hogansburg, NY when she met and married circa 1845 Norman ABRAMS, who was from Cornwall, Ontario. The story is that her father (name unknown) was the Customs Officer and her uncle Charles Grew was the undertaker. I imagine Hogansburg had a small population in the 1820-1860 time period, but I don't know much about Franklin County at all. I am searching for Mary Ann's parents, brothers and sisters, etc.
