I have a really big favor to ask of some Jefferson Co. resident researcher. A few days ago I received 3 pages of part of my family history from a researcher who says she does not remember where she got the information, apparently early in her research on her CHURCHILL family in Jefferson Co. I would really like to know the name of the source and the author. >From what I see on these 3 pages, I have determined that this source was published between 1995 and 1999. Besides the CHURCHILL surname, it also appears to have a section on the surname HARDY, possibly even BEECHER. Since the majority of the CHURCHILL family remained in and around Jefferson Co, I believe that a copy of this work has probably been provided to a genealogical library in that county. I know this is not much to go on, but I would really like to either have a copy of the manuscript (if available), or to be able to contact the author, as he (she) is most assuredly related to me. If someone who has access to a genealogy repository in Jefferson Co. would be willing to locate this resource for me, I would be delighted to reimburse any and all expenses incurred in this endeavor. Thank you so much for reading this, and I hope someone can help or at least point me in the right direction. I live in Texas, and we have a great genealogy library in Houston, but finding New York records is not always easy. As further identification of the resource, I am including the descendancy of the patriarch of the manuscript, William CHURCHILL. Just in case a family member in Jefferson Co reads this, I am including all the generations that appear to have stayed in that area of upstate New York.

Hello, I have a xerox sheet of an 1860 census of Jefferson Co., N.Y. (Unfortunately no town, possibly Hounsfield or Sackets Harbor). Giles MINOR age 42 farmer Jane 39 Francis 19 Lucetta (?) 17 (Teacher at School) Sophronia 14 Mary 11 Addella 8 Warren 2 Lyman FULLER age 19 Servant Does anyone know anything of this Lyman FULLER?? Was Giles MINOR related to Thomas MINOR who was listed on the 1830 Hounsfield Census? Thank-You!!

I am wondering if anyone has came across the following: Sherard FULLER Co. H, 10th N.Y.H.A. Albert FULLER, Co. A, 94th N.Y.Vols. died Sackets Harbor, 30 Dec. 1861 age 18. Thank-You

Thanks, Dave. I haven't studied the Deweys prior to Hiram but should have caught the Rev War vet reference (from an otherwise good Dewey souce) as unlikely on a generational basis. I appreciate the correction. Regards, Tony Sylvester

Hello, Would anyone happen to have an 1840 Census Index for Jefferson County New York listing FULLERs? Could someone send me the list of FULLERs for the county? I am trying to connect my line to them. What a puzzle I weave. THANK-YOU!

Is there any reference to who Salisbury Street is named after?It is off Seymour Street in what was called the Lansingdorf Section but is an older street. Dorothy Case Beasley

Does anyone have access to death notices/obits from the Jefferson County Journal for 1885? If so, would someone please check for a notice on John KENNEDY who died in Henderson that year? Thanks! Mark A. Wentling Washington, D.C.

Can anyone tell me if the Masonic Lodge at LaFargeville took a group photo of its membership in 1901? My 3grt-grandfather, Michael J. Diepolder, keeper of Rock Island Lighthouse from 1886-1901, was among them and I would like to get a picture of him. Thanks! Mark A. Wentling Washington, D.C.

Can anyone please tell me if the guest books or other official records from Orleans House hotel in LaFaregville are still existing for the period 1865-1881? Perhaps they are still at the hotel (even though it is now a private residence) or maybe they are with the Town Historian? Also, can anyone tell me how to get a photo of the hotel during that period? I am hoping to get a portrait of its keeper, Samuel Kilborn, my 4grt-grandfather. I'd like samples of his writing too, thus the request for the log books. For more about the Kilborns visit my website at: http://homepages.rootsweb.com/~legends/welcome.html Thanks!, Mark A. Wentling Washington, D.C.

Hi Everybody, I made a few new posts to the death/obit index at this site today.

Have a Great Day! Carol

Looking for information of a possible town named Fowler in Jefferson Co. NY. My GGreatgrandfathers civil war documents list him as being born in Jefferson NY. in what is hard to read but looks like a town of Fowler. I also have another source listing him as being born in Fowler NY. but no mention of Jefferson Co. I checked the list of old town names on this site but didn't find anything. He was born in February of 1829 if this date helps. Can anyone help me on this. Deanna hunter@altelco.net

Tony -- I don't have specific information concerning the DEWEY after whom Dewey Ave. in Watertown, NY is named. But the David DEWEY who married Polly COLE could not have been a Revolutionary War veteran, since he was born 31 Dec 1786, according to the 1898 Dewey genealogy. His father Eleazer DEWEY and grandfather Aaron DEWEY do appear to have been Rev War vets -- although I have not got around to obtaining their military service records and checking at D.A.R yet. Thanks for the biographical info on Hon. Hiram DEWEY.
