I recently found a George Williams from Clayton in the 1850 census who could possibly be my great great grandfather. Says he was with the family #672, born in NY and was 2 at the time. Can anyone help me figure out how to get the entire census from Clayton so that I may see who his other family members were. My great grandfather's name was George and being new at all of this I am seeing where families used names over and over and am hoping that this George from Clayton may be related. Thanks in advance for any help. please email me privately with any info. Donna R Williams e-mail: RONNA-1998@prodigy.net

My g-g-g-g-grandfather, Philip Cole, his wife Mary, and perhaps all of their 7 children lived in LeRay between 1804 and 1842. They had moved there from Litchfield, Herkimer County. I have some handwritten notes indicating that their oldest son, Philip Jr. died as a 16 year old in May, 1804. According to these notes, Philip & Mary's other son, Ezra, b. July 14, 1790 "received his first serious impression at the death of his brother". Philip Jr. had warned Ezra "not to do as he had done" and the notes go on to say that soon after Philip's death Ezra experienced religion. Ezra was baptized in the summer of 1832 by Elder Penfield, Methodist Episcopal Minister. In my genealogical search of our family history I am stuck at Philip Cole. I don't know where he was born or when, when he married Mary, what her maiden name was etc. etc. What I do know is that their oldest child, Lucy, was born in Gageborough/Windsor, MA on Nov 7, 1776. If anyone out there can supply me with more information about my family's history, I certainly would appreciate it. Randy Cole P.S. - Our family eventually settled in Vegreville, Alberta, Canada in 1901.

Or is it Jaymes? My system crashed a year ago and I lost her website. Does anyone have it if she is still active in research? Sharon

ATTENTION: W. Mullet ancestors - "In Salem, W. Mullet, aged 101, born without eyes, known to many generations of boys and girls as one of the most sagacious and good tempered blind men. He was for many years town crier - and was remarkable for the sonorous melody of his voice, and strength of his memory and the unerring instinct with which he threaded his way through the most crowded avenues. He had frequently passed into the neighboring towns to a distance of 8 or 10 miles. He was a married man with a considerable family of children, whom he also carried to school in infancy in a truckle cart. He boasted that his wife was the handsomest woman he ever saw! This was probably in May 1836." I was searching for Morgan information when I saw this typewritten obit at the Genealogy Dept. of Flower Memorial Library in Watertown. The map shows Salem in Washington County, slightly northeast of Saratoga Springs. My reason for posting is the human interest aspect. He lived to be 101 which means he was born about 1735! ! !

To: Listers I live in Henderson, NY only 5 miles from Belleville and do not know of any genealogy service in Belleville where my sister lives. Undoubtedly, this is a private individual wanting to do genealogy research for a fee. All I can suggest is that you write to the address given asking for details.

Hi, Does anyone have access to index/ or actual census from the state census from NY (1855 or earlier)??? If you do, I'm looking for: Amos Hill (born 1806), wife Ursula Thanks, gina scott sembach, germany

Hi Mark -- there is some Canal info (a bit contrary to your dates) and some refs to Elisha Camp on the www page at http://www.1000islands.com/sacketsharbor/sackdate.htm There is more of the same at http://www.1000-islands.net/1000/1812/timeline.htm [see 1827-1836] These may be the same timelines but in different layouts. As for the great cable.... you might check out this publication if you can lay your hands on a copy: DeLong, Mrs. Earl V. 1949 The Battle of Sandy Creek and the Romance of the Great Cable. Oswego Historical Society Publication 12:97-103. [biblio reference found at http://www.oneida-nation.net/1812.html ] Hope this helps some...// Gord Hines (in Regina SK Canada) Mark Wentling wrote: Subject: [JeffHistGen] Camp's Ditch & Great Cable?

Hi Nan I have the Hounsfield directory ready to send to you. Sorry it took so long. I have a husband in the hosp. with open heart surgery and my mind hasn't been too keen on doing transcriptions. So send me your private e-mail and tell me how you want it. It's 18 pages long. I'll have the Pamelia done soon. Regards Bonnie in Idaho

I noted the following Genealogical Service under another website and wondered if anyone knew anything about it. Since I am unable to get a reply or find any information on an event in Belleville NY, I wondered if anyone had used them and found them to be factual.

Hi folks, Thanks to Bonie Shafer, I've just learned that I'm descended from Fanny Haskins, wife of Joseph Cole, who was son of Benjamin Cole, an early resident of the town of Adams, and a Revolutionary War veteran. I am now trying to determine the parentage of Fanny Haskins. Anyone out there know of her? Thanks! Mark A. Wentling

Hi folks, I'm researching the canal that was built in 1832 under command of Elisha Camp, which ran from the Black River in Watertown, through Sulpher Springs to Camp's Mills & Jewettville, and emptied into Black River Bay at Sackets. It was abandoned after being in use for 10 years and was known as "Camp's Ditch." Fellow list-member Florence Secor was kind enough to send me some articles from the WDT (thanks!). I am also interested in hearing from anyone who has had stories passed down in their families about ancestors involved in building the canal. I would also like to know if any pictures of the canal exist. Also, can any remnants of the ditch still be seen anywhere today? Would also like to obtain a map of its course. Secondly, as a young boy I once heard of some great cable being laid from some village (maybe Sandy Creek or Henderson?) into Sackets Harbor. I think it was an underwater cable. I may be confusing the cable for the canal story -- I don't know. Does this ring a bell with anyone? What was that project all about? Thanks for any help! Sincerely, Mark A. Wentling

Just received this info from my Uncle. If someone has any connections to this info, it may finally bring down our brick wall: "The Lorraine, Jefferson County census for 1855: Martha Terwilliger/Wood (husband Joshua Wood) age 67 was living with John Farmer, his wife Paulina (both age 40, and John F. age 18 and "Errelta" age 7, female) The father was born in Mass., and John F. and Errelta were born in Oswego. Martha and Paulina were born in Chenango County. Surely this is a young sister of Lonson Wood. She was about 4 years younger than Lonson." We are looking to prove Lonson (Alonson) is the son of Joshua and Martha Terwiliger/Wood. Thanks in advance Tim Wood

Hi, I'm searching for the children of Alexander MONTGOMERY who was B. abt. 1769 in County Atrium, Ireland. He and wife, possibly Mary GODEY, (their marriage is listed in the IGI), came to America abt. 1833. The family say that the father died on the ship coming to America and that they settled in Kingston, Ontario, Canada. That is if I am right in assuming that this is the family of my g grandmother, Ann MONTGOMERY Baptized 28 Jan 1816 in County Atrium, Ireland. She married Christopher ALTON (was ALLTIMES before he came to U.S. in 1829 from County Limerick, Ireland). Other children of Alexander MONTGOMERY were Elizth - Chr. 1799, Ann - Chr. 1799, Jn Alex - Chr. 1804, David - Chr. 1809, James - Chr. 1812, Wm. - Chr. 1821. All Christenings are said to have come from Proni Carnmoney Parish Christenings. This information was submitted to the IGI by Ronald D. Coleman or Monrovia, CA in 1976 & 1977. I have not contacted him as it's been so long I don't think I could find him. I can't find the christenings listed as being filmed by the L.D.S. Church. Can anyone connect to this family? Thanks, Janet kenjan@deseretonline.com

Hello, Can anyone tell me where to obtain birth records for 1824? I am not sure they even go back that far. Thanks Pat

Hi Nancy and Jim, I am also a Moody, and my ggggggrandfather was Anson Moody! His great-grandson, Harry Smith Moody, left Pulaski New York in 1891 for Oregon City, Oregon and married my great-grandmother. In fact, I am the webmaster for the Moody Surname Web Page at surnameweb.org. I have put online a Moody history given to my family by another descendant of Anson Moody. You can visit my site at http://home.pacbell.net/mbare. To go to this record, follow the link for the category "Moody Web Sightings", and click on "mine". There is even a reference to the school in Rodman in that document. Also, if you look at "yours" there is a fascinating genealogy which was put online by another Moody family that is related to us, and his genealogy is much more complete than mine, and fascinating to read. Both of our stories start with our ancestor in Moulton, England and follow John Moody to America in 1633. Hope this helps! Margy Bare researching Moody, Bare, Cottier, Uptegrove, Tisher, and Logus.

Nancy, page 643 Geographical Gazetteer of Jefferson County NY 1684-1890 Printed July 1890 "The first school in town was taught in the summer of 1803, in Anson Moody's barn, by Miss Nobles. A number of log school-houses were erected the next year which were used until they gave place to a better class of buildings. In 1840, the citizens of Rodman, at a cost of $1200 which was raised by subscriptions, built a seminary, which was given the name of Rodman Union Seminary. After a number of years of prosperity, the seminary ran into decline and was finally discontinued, the building being occupied by public school for a time, when the property finally reverted to the heirs of Nathan Strong" I find it of interest to have your ancestors and mine in the same article.
