Hello all, Since I'm not sure if this message actually processed through the mailing lists due to an error on my part I've decided to resend it -- I apoligize if you have already seen this. While I'm not sure if I link back to the Herkimer Casler's or not I thought I'd post this in hopes that some of these name ring a bell with someone. So here goes -- most of the following has been transcribed from a book on Wisconsin History. Jared/John/Jacob CASLER (wife unknown) a native of New York and of German descent was reportedly a soldier in the Revolution. He was the father of five children and reportedly lived to be ninety years old. One of his children Henry CASLER was a blacksmith by trade and died about 1842 in Turin, Lewis Co., NY. Henry married Marigrit Dingman daughter of Geradus/Jared DINGMAN (Gerardus DINGMAN was badly wounded in Revolution, became totally blind and lived for forty years without his sight). Henry and Mary had a family of seven children; Edgar S., Daujel D., Angeline and Sarah (other names unknown). The eldest child Edgar S. CASLER was reportedly born in Watertown, NY, Jan 15, 1824. Edgar's youth was spent in Jefferson Co., NY. He apprenticed in wagon making and moved west in 1854 to settle in Janesville, Rock Co., Wis. In 1847, while still in NY, Edgar CASLER married Zenana DAMON, daughter of Noah and Betsy (CLEVERLY) DAMON, they had two children, Ellen and Matilda. Zenana died in 1850 and in 1851 Edgar married Theodosia BENNETT, daughter of Larry and Mary BENNETT. Eight children were born of this union: Clara, Lucy, Alma, Jennie, Nellie, Ida, Henry and Ernest. Any help trying to track down more information on this Casler line would be greatly appreciated. The printed reference I'm quoting from refers to the elder as Jared Casler -- but I have a feeling this name is incorrect. Additionally, while I have received confirmation of Zenana (Damon) Casler's burial in Turin -- I found nothing to confirm Henry and Marigrit (Mary) ever lived or died in Turin. The closest I've come is a cemetery reference for outside Flemming, NY where there is a Henry and Mary Casler (both died in 1857). So once again the book the above is from seems a bit suspect. Judy

Hi listmembers -- I compiled this list of website/maillist urls for Jefferson County, NY to assist another researcher who was new to the www. Others might benefit from this information as well... so here it is. [N.B.: This list excludes "personal" JeffCo county homepages that focus on one individual's families or surnames] No slight is intended to the many other NY counties that no doubt have similar maillists and website homepages -- nor to any personal JeffCo sites not in this listing. There are several Jefferson County (aka JeffCo) lists to chose from. None are very active, so I subscribe to all of them (see #1, 2, 3 listed below). I also have queries posted on the other JeffCo sites that do NOT have maillists (see #3, 4, 5 listed below). #3 is an exception -- it has both. It also has the greatest amount of JeffCo data online plus a large # of relevant related links. N.B. The JeffCo Cemetery link for lookups (see #3 below). <><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><> Jefferson Co Maillists (pure and simple) 1. http://www.egroups.com/group/jeffcofamhis/info.html List is explained at above url.

I called but they did not know. Gave me some numbers to try. Will let you know if I have any success. I have my husbands from Montgomery, Alabama so I thought they might be available in Watertown. Will keep trying. Dorothy Beasley

A "trip diary [some pages] - Erie PA to Watertown & Brownville, via NYC 1867", handwritten in pencil, by Elvira Ada KANE WEIGEL. Thought some of the names mentioned might be interesting for other searchers as being in Watertown or Brownville at a specific time ... sending a rough of the names as I took them from the pages... also some passages ... Apparently Elvira had a grand time in NY with daughter, Ada Elvira WEIGEL 1863 Brownville-1947 NutleyNJ, a 5 yr old, in tow and they went from morn til night, concerts, lectures, parks, fish market, museums, Barnums "freaks", and then the irony ... "we went to see H Powers sculptures," a reference I believe to Hiram POWERS (whose Greek Slave is in the Brooklyn Museum of Art) and whose work in the US Capitol was in vogue at the time ... so can you imagine that 25 yrs later, Ada Elvira married a Hiram cousin, John Orville POWERS and they were my grandparents. BTW I've been able to find the ads/notices for some of the events she attended in the New York Times and that makes it fun too. Names in diary are: BROWNVILLE: Mrs Zain, Oscar, Charles' grave (her brother), Mr J Norton's grave, he remarried; Royal Wilcox, George Knight - also recent deaths?; Forward, Basin St, blacksmith; Kornks???, Sniender (could this be Skinner?), Mr Houghton, Mrs Sp, George Weaver and Elizabeth Walsh, Bridie Brenner w/ 3 wk baby, Mrs W Bosch or Mrs Lord, John Ayers (overnight here) and Ella Ayers. Lucinda (as old as Gram) in fr Chicago Mrs Sp Aunt Aliza and Cap, left Tamplier?? or Lamplus?? (ship) Shaws or Sharon's in Syracuse. DEXTER: Kimball, shoemaker, on Factory St (quite close to former home of UC KANE and family); had apple trees - some died - in front yard. Another Kimball of Canal and Brown Gram and Sarah, a weaver A...?? w/ baby due W Melvina and Brady Mr Hurst (could this be Hunt?) w Melvina and Mary or Brady going west WATERTOWN: Sloats; Flora w/vehicle; Mrs Johnson & Clara, Mr Hall (stayed here); Jake, Mrs W(aite), Mrs Laird, Lil, W'TOWN or B'VILLE: Washburns (overnight) ".... saw beds that swing by machines and walking and talking dolls worth twenty-five dollars..... Barnum's Museum. the famous Gorilla, only one ever captured alive, it cost Barnum eight thou! Saw a fat baby, four years old and weighed over two hundred lbs, its name was Sammy and it was the crossest child I ever saw, albino children, a giantess seven ft 8in tall. went into a milliners shop where they sold plumes very cheap... saw black silk robes valued at one hundred & seventy-five dollars, dident buy. Went through fish market, never saw such a sight or smelt such a smell in my life, couldn't stand it, but a few minutes. heard Dodsworth's band,... have found out that a short distance in NY varies from three to six miles. Went into A J Stewart wholesale store. It is a ... market five stories high.... passed the Evening Post building, it is immense, six stories high, to hear Beecher. The sermon was the best I ever heard. The audience was alternately moved to smiles and tears... ...expecting to go to Watertown on four o'clock train, concluded to wait until six and take a sleeping car to avoid changing at Albany and Rensselear. ...started for Sloats...astonished to see us... Flora came over with a vehicle to take us over. Found Mrs Johnson and Clara there. Mr Hall's people having gone to NJ, Flora was of course left in charge of the baby. I was disappointed as I expected Flora to go to B'ville and Dexter with us. Clara Johnson has grown wonderfully. Mrs J looks just as she did. Flora must like to take care of the baby. It was very ( ) on account of its red hair I suppose. Called on Mrs W (Almira Waite) in the evening...looks very feeble....Someone said they went to see Lil or April??? first. Stayed at Halls all night. Saw Mrs Zain?? or Laird??, went to Oscar's to dinner. They were astonished at seeing us. Went to the graveyard to see my baby's and Charles' grave, found some rose bushes set out. Several new graves of people that I didn't know were dead. Mrs J Norton's, he is married again. Royal Wilcox, George Knight - died lately with... After leaving the graveyard, went to our old home. The house looks natural but it seems as if something was lacking in the yard. Mr Forward said that several apple trees in the front yard had died, otherwise it was the same; inside the house, it looked so different .... Mrs Forward said she had saved some seeds for Ma and meant to write soon. ... next went up to Hornks??? with me to see Lucinda (Lucinda Kane?), she looks as old as Gram with her teeth all out. Grammi thinks she came back on purpose to get new teeth expecting to go back to Chicago and _____ a Dr there but he couldn't wait and married soon after she left I suppose if she hadn't her old teeth out she never would not have new ones now. Called on Mrs Sp... her baby has been quite sick. She looks old and care worn. George Weaver and Elizabeth Walch were married and started for Niagara the night before. Bridie Brener?? just left for NJ with a baby three weeks old. Called on Mrs W Lord. She went up to John Ayers as Lucinda thought - he would take us to Dexter.... Mrs Ayers made herself very agreeable. Ella is rather more thoughtful than she used to be. I sent word to Kimball's folks. Gruna??? and Sarah were astonished to see us. G was happy as she had just commenced weaving 50 yards of carpeting for Mr Houghton of Bville. She had just got the loom set up in the kitchen. Went to see Aunt Eliza... The Cap was at home, had considerable whiskey aboard. He has left the Tamplier?? or Lamplus??? He didn't know we had left Watertown. Melvina and Mary were expecting to go West?? next week as W had ... If anyone knows if the carpet was finished I'd love to hear about it! Look forward to hearing from some of the families mentioned.
