I am referencing the comment in which a poster wrote that "Lorenzo" was an odd name for an English family to use. In the time period in which these ancestors of yours lived, there was a "fire and brimstone" itinerant preacher, at least in Ohio, who greatly influenced the naming of children. My husband has a great-grandfather named Lorenzo Dow McDaniel. You have a Lorenzo Dow, as well. Take the two names together, and it's a pretty good bet somebody in your family heard this minister preach. When I was researching my husband's people, I found that Mr. Dow the preacher had THOUSANDS of babies named after him in something like a 10 year period! When names seemingly "come out of the blue," there is sometimes a direct reference to people who influenced our ancestors whether they were national or local persons. Kathy Gire

I'm very slow in reviewing these Greene Co E-Mails, but saved them to read later, as I was gone during roll call. To me Lorenzo is an odd name for English, Welch that my Newman family is, and doesn't match Snyder so much either, to me anyway. More Italian? It is in our family back to Greene Co. so I wonder if there is some reason or history behind it that anyone knows of? My father was Lorenzo Adin [Aden] Newman, his cousin was Lorenzo Martin Newman, the second. The family moved to Oak Hill [Durham] just after his father, LMN the first was born.

>Wondering if your Zadoc Pratt Northrup was any relation to the Zadock Pratt of Prattsville? Quite a few Greene County children were named for Zadock Pratt even though they weren't related to him. It was comparable to naming a child after a US President or a famous military hero. Zadock Pratt had just three children: George who died during the Civil War, Julia and a daughter who died in infancy. http://www.prattmuseum.com/history/History_new.htm (scroll down to Family Life and Children) Patricia Morrow, Windham Town Historian (Greene County, NY)
