I'm overwhelmed at the Haskell response. I've found a bunch of "new cousins". I haven't read the replies through yet but wanted to get back to the list fast. I have lots on the Posts. My line goes Abraham (prob), Stephen (immigrant), Abraham, Abraham, Nathaniel, Nathaniel, Dan, Dan, Dan, Frederick Benchley Post, Ethel (my grandmother who lived w/ us and died in 1967). She married Harold Lathrop Dailey, their dau Lucile Helen Dailey (my mom) married Robert Kirk Stephenson, then me. Stephen Post went to Saybrook and my line stayed there until Dan I came to Herkimer Co in 1894. His married Marcy Pratt in 1792 but I've never found her parents. I was back in Saybrook & Hartford a couple of months ago but no luck. There are 48 Pratt families in the 1790 C in Saybrook!!!! Here's Louise (aka Louisa) Haskell's obit: DEATH'S GRIM SUMMONS: Mrs. Louise A Post Expirers From a Stroke of Apoplexy: Strioken (sic) Down on Wednesday, She Never Regained Consciousness and Passed Away at 8 O'Clock Last Night - The Mother of Fred B and Miss Georgia Post - Came to Cherry Valley in the Early Days. (All of the above are the Headlines!!) Mrs. Louise A Post died last evening at 7:45 o'clock at her home at 521 North Church. She suffered a stroke of apoplexy Wednesday afternoon at 4:30 o'clock, and never regained consciousness up to the time of her death. The deceased was the loving wife of Daniel Post, retired. She was born in Newport NY Aug 23, 1832 and was married to her present husband at that place November 29, 1849. The following spring they came west and located at Cherry Valley, being among the earliest settlers in that section. Later they resided at Belvidere, and about eighteen years ago removed to Rockford, where they have since resided. Only two children survive her, Fred B and Miss Georgia Post, both of whom are employed by the Withrow Baird company and live at home. The deceased has suffered from a complication of diseases for a number of years, and borne it all patiently. She was a plain home woman, unselfish in all things, and devoted to her family and children. She possessed a wide circle of acquaintances, in which she will be deeply and sorely missed. She entertained independent views upon the religious question, but lived a good christian life, and was a memberr of the Universalist church of Belvidere. The funeral will be held from the family residence Saturday afternoon at 2 o'clock, and Dr Thos. Kerr will officiate.
