I have three groups immigrating to Jefferson County: Shubael Little, b. 25 Aug 1790, Hillsborough, NH, d. 3 Oct 1847, bur. Sanford's Corner Cemetery, Le Ray. He married Deborah Barrows, 4 Apr 1819, at Hounsfiled (he was 'of" Brownsville). The 1820 Census shows him in Brownsville, and in 1822 he bought his first parcel of land. He was an elder in the "Christian" Church (a version of Congregationalism) and may have been associated with the union church at Sanford's Corner. I have considerable information on this family, but am particularly interested in more closely identifying when Shubael came to Jefferson County. Samuel and Azubah (Ransom) Barrows. He was b. 1764 Middleboro, Plymouth Co., MA; d. 14 Mar 1842, Russell, St. Lawrence Co., NY. She was b. 2 Jul 1773, Lyme, New London Co., CT; d. 2 Feb 1848, Williamstown, Pamelia, Jefferson Co., NY. They were m. 16 Feb 1791, Woodstock, VT. They resided in Vermont until at least 1810, but were in Jefferson County from 1818 (or earlier) until at least 1833 (when he sold property to Hezekiah Field). They are connected with the Fields of the Field Settlement (Hezekiah Field's wife was her sister). Their children are: Deborah (b. 1795), Unknown son (b. between 1796 and 1800, based on the US Census), Azem (b. abt 1807), and Sara Ann (b. abt 1814). My information on this family is sparse, and I am particularly interested in anything relating to the children. Joshua and Ruth (Freeman) Fredenburg. He was b. 14 Mar 1783, d. 6 Jul 1864. She was b. abt. 2 Jun 1784, d. 1 Mar 1854. All dates from gravestones in Sanford's Corner Cemetery in Le Ray. This family is a brick wall! The earliest firm date is that of the baptism of their son George (1805, Minden, NY). They resided in Pamelia by 1820. They had numerous children, and my family records indicate a number that cannot be found in any records. I also believe this family was associated with the union church at Sanford's Corners. Any leads on early records for this church are appreciated. I have pretty well combed the cemetery, Census, property and probate records for these families. Other especially helpful sources have been the transcriptions of marriage and death notices by Grace Moffett Lansing (the marriage of Shubael Little and Deborah Barrows), and the war pension records of Samuel Barrows. Additional information on these families is available at <http://homepages.rootsweb.com/~clyttle/JeffCoNY/index.html>.

Chris, I researched & donated my work to the Genealogy Dept., Flower Memorial Library, 229 Washington St., Watertown, NY 13601. History of this family from a published book was included in the notebook. I will email you the pages from the book, which is online via Heritage Quest, re Rev. Hezekiak Filed who married Keturah Ransom.
