Dear listers: This is a problem really filling up our trash bins. If you have a message of interest to only one person, i.e. you have asked the list, and one person answers, after contact, please carry on your correspondence privately with that person and not on the list. I went away for the afternoon, and came back to find 38 email messages on my computer, about 19 of which told me someone's mailbox was full and he could not receive messages. No, I don't know what it meant, because the messages were in MY mailbox, as were his answers to people obviously emailing him. It is polite to say thank you to someone who has helped you. Please do it personally to that person, and not to the mailing list. It is nice to send greetings to people. Please do it personally, and not on the mailing list. If you are addressing a single person ("Dear Appolonia, do you think...") please do it just to Appolonia, and not to a hundred or more other people, who do not need your message. Overuse of mailing lists causes people to unsubscribe. Look at the address. The person's name is there, and so is his address. If you can't find it, send one more message to the list and ask him to contact you. We have a wonderful group of helping, caring people. Please consider whether your message will be of interest to everybody, or to only one person. If you are corresponding with one person, you do not need the mailing list. I don't want to discourage those whose answers may help everyone, but please, if it's one to one, do it off the list. Nan Dixon, listmaster. -- http://www.rootsweb.com/~nyjeffer/

At this time I am primarily researching Wilsons in Jefferson County. Recently I gained information regarding a family in Orleans in 1850. Many details indicate this may be the line I am looking for. My gg grandfather, Henry C. Wilson, was born in Jefferson County in September of 1841. He had a sister Jane Wilson Carter, who was 76, living in Wisconsin in 1910. He also had a sister Caroline Wilson Shaw, who was 83 and living in Milwaukee, Wisconsin in 1910. However this family of Freeman Wilson and Mirinda includes a Jane with a matching birth year and so does Henry have a matching birthyear. Several days ago my brother looked up the 1850 census to verify that the name was Freeman rather than Truman. We know there was a Caroline Wilson, age 23 in 1850, living in Rodman, Jefferson Co. Because of the age we are wondering if she is connected to this family also. In 1861 Henry is in Wisconsin. My next research will be with the 1855 census for New York to see what the county is in which each are born in New York and or to see if the month of birth is indicated. I can't remember if this is given in the state censuses. At various times other lines of my family also have been a part of Jefferson County: Woodards for one, Sischos for another.

This clipping was given to me over 10 years ago when found in an old bible by a family member. RELICS GIVEN TO SOCIETY IN CITY PRESENTED BY MISS MYRA ELIZABETH WATSON FROM DAVID W. CASE - FAMILY -------------------------------- Pioneer Settlers in Clayton Section of County - Bowl Hollowed from Cherry tree and Quilts Among Articles -------------------------------- Miss Myra Elizabeth Watson 620 North State street, Chicago, Ill, has recently sent to the Jefferson County Historical society many relics that have been in her family since David Warham Case and his wife came to the Clayton section of Jefferson county as pioneers. Among the curios sent by Miss Watson is a bowl hollowed out by hand from an underground knot of cherry tree. The size and shape of a modern mixing bowl, mark visible inside lead to the conclusion it was used for that purpose. Hand quilted by Lydia Barney Watson almost ten years before the Civil war while the 13 year old girl was living with her grandparents in Depauville, a quilt, pink basket pattern on a background of white and pink squares, still is fresh and unfaded. One of the pieces of hand weaving is a sheet of fine linen spun and woven more than 100 years ago by Mercy Lydia Clark Case, the pioneer wife of David Warham Case. A collection of daguerreotype and old pictures, with notation on each, together with an indexed family album almost serve as a history of the Case fmily line since the pioneer days in Jefferson county and the line of the Watson family. David Warham Case, often referred to as Warum Case, was born in Otis;Mass, Feb. 16,1788 as was Mercy Lydia Clark Case Sept. 26, 1791. They were married March 3l, 1809 and came as pioneers, to Jefferson county. The first of the Watson line represented in the collection is A Evans Watson, son of Oliver E. Watson of Oswego, born in 1845 and the picture bears the note that he was a descendant of Sir Lewis Watson who was born in 1584 and immigrated to America in 1650. He was the inventor of Smutt Purifier. Another inventor member of the family mentioned by Miss Watson was Orlando Case of Watertown, son of Warum Case. Dorothy Case Beasley descendant of John Case born 1591

I have recently come into possession of the original handwritten 1848 tax roll for the town of Orleans. The tax roll lists every taxpayer's name, acreage owned, and tax levied. There are over 500 people listed. I have posted an every-name index to the contents of the tax roll on my website and I am willing to do look-ups of the acreage and tax citations if you see a name that interests you. You can search the index at http://homepages.rootsweb.com/~legends/1848OrleansIndex.html Good luck! Mark A. Wentling Washington, D.C.

In my family there was an Eliza Britton Everett b.5/14/1838 who married Richard Irvine in 1860 at Clayton, N.Y. children were (1)Everett B. Irvine (2)Effie V. Irvine (b. 1864) m. Henry O. Williams Effie and Henry Williams had sons Irvine Alexander and Richard Evertt Williams. Richard Everett Williams had sons Richard Preston Williams and Christopher Joseph Williams. This doesn't tell you the ancestors of Richard Irvine but maybe somone in the Williams family can help you. Carolyn

Thank you for such FAST response..Greatly appreciated. Dorothy

Mark, would you please look up the data on John IRVIN on page 24? Thank you. Sandra

Thank you for answering, Carolyn. Richard may well be one and the same man. In the June 21, 1860, census for Cape Vincent, Richard is listed at Jas. Irvine's (his father) home. He is 20 and a farm laborer. Sandra

Hi List I am at my wit's end trying to figure out this family mess. so may I pick the brains of some of you to see if someone can give me a hand, please. Marvin Hill, b 1836 ,Philadelphia Twp, to Laura___Hill/Hatch, and _____Hill Oscar his brother, was born 1843. In 1850 they are living in Jefferson county, Wilna Twp. with Sylvanus Hatch and Lara and going by the name of Hatch. (I found in the LDS Records where Laura Hill married Sylvanus Hatch in 1848) In the 1855 NY State census, they are still with Sylvanus and Laura, but have assumed the last name of HILL. (Family story goes the mother and father never married, but I doubt that considering the following facts) In 1860 Marvin has left the family and we were told was chopping wood out in the wilds, and was probably missed in this census. Oscar, Laura and Sylvanus have moved to St Lawrence Co, along with additional children born to Laura and Sylvanus. Now it gets a bit harrowing. Marvin's death cert says his mother was Laura Hatch and his father was George HILL. While Oscar's death cert says that his mother was Laura KING and his father was Walter HILL. In 1860 I found a Milo KING with his wife, Ann, living in Jefferson County with her father and mother, Daniel HILL and Sally. Marvin named his first son MILO KING HILL. That seems too much to be a coincidence. My supposition is this: Laura is a KING, and sister to Milo. Walter/George or whoever the father of Marvin and Oscar was, probably died and Laura remarried Sylvanus Hatch. I believe their father is a brother to Anne and the son of Daniel and Sally. Is there anyone out there, in Web land who is researching Daniel Hill and Sally who maybe could offer me a clue??. PLEASE!! I've been working this line for over 10 years and keep running into you know what. Several people have been kind enough to help me and have hit the same barrier. ANY info that might give me a direction to look would sure be appreciated. Regards Bonnie in Idaho

Hello. I noted your Eunice Chalker Strong and wondered if you knew anything about her ancestry. I have been looking for an Annie Chalker, who married John Hatch, and was a resident of Jefferson Co., NY at one point, at least. I have no birth, marriage, or death record for her. Any help would be much appreciated! Ruth Leathers

I am looking for my IRVINE ancestors. The name has been spelled with variations throughout Jefferson County records. Brothers James and Christopher IRVINE immigrated from Ireland circa 1820: James (1800-1871) and his two wives, Eva MONTGOMERY and Margaret UNKNOWN, are buried in the Market St. Cemetery in Cape Vincent. Christopher (1799-1890) was listed in Child's Gazeteer of Jefferson County - Town of Cape Vincent, 1890. He had a farm on "Road 6" for 65 years. Christopher's family appears to be buried at the Market Street and Sand Bay Cemeteries. Is there a way to determine from where they came in Ireland and when? Following is a story that has passed through the family for generations. Is there such an island? Is this story feasible? "There is an island there on St. Lawrence River called Irvine Island, as so many Irvines lived on this island. I remember we used to go to Cape Vincent, NY, and get a man to row us across the St. Lawrence River to visit Uncle Richard Irvine. They had a boat house and we would row a short ways to get out on St. Lawrence River. Uncle Richard let me hold the sail rope and we sailed along to a place where a large boat picked us up - "Hollidays Point." We went on then to Kingston, Canada, where we visited the large cathedrals. Uncle Richard Irvine seemed to know many there." Other related family names are STOEL - STOWELL - HUTCHINSON - HURLBURT. Of course, there are many more questions. If anyone has a connection to this family, it would be fun to compare information. Sandra

There is a Cronk Rd. in the Town of Pinckney in Lewis Co. as you head toward the Village of Copenhagen. It is about 1 1/2 miles from the Hamlet of Barnes Corners, which was an Area that many people migrating into Jefferson & Oswego Co. used. Just thought I'd let you know that some Cronk's must of had a Farm or Land there for the Road to receive that name and it could be some of your Ancestor. So don't forget to check LEWIS Co. also. Pat
