I've been trying to track my ggggrandparents prior to their move to Medina County, Ohio. Recently I learned that their second child, Melissa Minerva Lester, was born in Byron, Genesee County, N.Y. on April 27, 1834. Her sister Abigail Cora was also born in New York, but her researcher could only testify to upstate N.Y. and no specifics beyond that. Their daughter Tryphena was born in about 1837 in Ohio. So the time-frame is pre1837. John J. Lester was born about 1807 in New York, and his wife Ann Harrington was born July 28, 1813 in N.Y. We presume they were married in Byron about 1831, as their oldest child was born in 1832. Another family from New York appear to be related to them in some way. William and Mercy Sprague were neighbors, and the widowed Mercy later moved in with the widowed Ann in Lorain County Ohio. Is anyone out there researching any of these names? Or could someone help me get my bearings for further research? The Byron GenWeb site was very well done, but very little actual material was available on-line. Any help would be appreciated.
