Looking for the ancestors of C.W. Whipple or Lucy Whipple living in Amsterdam, New York between 1900-1920. Also, ancestors of John George of New York, possibly Amsterdam as well. John and Lucy's father was Richard George, I think he was from Cornwall England around 1880. Richard George moved to Ga. later 1890s and had one son Albert George born 1900 and died 1948. Thanks LF

Looking for Vital Records on children of Edward Ball and Lydia Ann Foote Ball, Land Records or what is available on the internet for resources. also Gideon O. Ball wife and children. 1800-1840. Early Records. James R. Ball worked as a pathfinder in about 1814. and enlisted in the war of 1812 from Mendon. Anything suggestions or whatever Thanks Donna

>From the Genealogical Dictionary of Maine and New Hampshire by Noyes and Libby. They used "bot" as a non-standard abbreviation for the word "bought". In other words, ancestor is recorded as buying land and/or buildings at this date.

Hello nice people, In searching for ancestral info, a kind fellow researcher found the following, for me: "bot. in Stratham 1702" Being a novice, will someone please tell me what bot. means?

"Area of Palatine" ? Town of Palatine? I find LASHERs in nearby Town of Root. Have you any particular LASHERs in mind? Dallenbachs published about three volumes of their family. One was p-r-i-t-t-y tough to wade through, however. randy diefendorf [email protected] -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] <[email protected]> To: [email protected] <[email protected]> Date: Wednesday, February 24, 1999 7:03 PM Subject: [NYHERKIM-L] Montgomery surnames >Seeking others working on Theophilus ENGELLAND,LASHER, LATHERS, LEATHERS, >DALLENBACH most in area of Palatine, and several areas around, from pre >Revolutionary time up until 1860's.

Randy: No, I do not think so unless they are cousins. My Abraham House/Haus was born March 24, 1795, Bap Mar 29, 1795, Minden, NY. He married Rachel Putnam who was born ca 1798 in same area. Their children were Diana, Josiah, Jeremiah, Alexander, Eliza, Sarah, Abram I., and Lavina. They left this area ca 1850 and moved to Wisconsin and then on to Iowa. I believe the parents of Abraham were Johan Jost Haus and Elizabeth ________ Bonnie House West Linn, OR

Do any of you HOUSE researchers have a Jacob HOUSE who married Anna BIDELMAN/BIDLEMAN about 1800-1810, and may have moved west to Orleans County? Jennifer Clark [email protected]

The Putnams I have been in pursuit were first, residents of the Town of Florida, then the Town of Glen, and then the Town of Warren. The Putnams seemed to be of at least two origins, Pottnam, Bodmann, or Putman, possibly Dutch, or German, and the New England Putnam/Putman who prob. came to the Mohawk Valley in 1800 (plus or minus a decade). Although the Town of Minden is in the general area (between the Towns of Florida and Glen, and Warren) this doesn't seem to specific enough considering the large absence of other data. If you are related to a HOUSE family of the Mohawk Valley, are they of Palatine, or of New England origin? r.a.d.
