I may have responded then. I haven't had a computer in a few years, but I get get back into things now. Nellie Blanche Chittenden was my great grandmother. I don't know when she was born, but she died 17 October 1928. She was married to William Conklyn Duryea, b. 21 May 1866, d. 1931. They are both buried in Oak Hill Cemetery in Oakland, New York. Nellie's parents were Darwin Chittenden and Mary Walker. Darwin was a school teacher and a singing school teacher around the area. William's parents were George Monroe Duryea and Esther Cranston. There is a farm up the road from the Oak Hill Cemetery that has the name Cranston painted on it. I don't know if that is the same family or not. I just discovered it when we buried my father. William and Nellie's children were: 1. William Harrisson b. 1886? d. ae. 16 -1902? of Rhuematic fever. 2.Hazel Esther m. Ben Burgess m. William Patrick Reynolds. 3.Clayton Conklyn b.1896 d.1937 m.Eva Thatcher b.1902 d.1960. 4.Blanche Arleen m. Elisha Stout 5.Edna Onile b. 04 April 1901 d. 16 October 1987 m. Roy Carlson. 6.Olive Althea M. Melvin Downs. 7.Edward Howard Max b.21 July 1904 Mount Morris Township, New York d. 26 April 1983 m. Kathryn Ruth Cobb b.24 September 1915 d.14? February 1994. Ed was my grandfather. Both buried at Oak Hill Cemetery. 8.Mary Levita d. at 22 months -choked on a potato. There is a cemetery on the Nunda-Dalton road that has many of our Chittendens buried in it. I haven't been able to find it in my few short tries. Mom says it is way back accross a field on the edge of the woods and isn't tended any more. Hopefully, I will be able to go hunting for it sometime soon. I hope this information helps you. Michelle

She's allegedly buried in South Avon Cemetery next to a couple of her and her husband Samuel's infant children. I'd give anything to get pictures of the graves. I have a family reunion coming up on 10/2/04 for the Hugmeyer side that descends from Samuel and Elizabeth and would love to bring this information for all to see.

Surnames: Kelledy, Quigley, Dunnington, O'Leary, Soppitt Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/an/iRB.2ACE/2311.2.1.1 Message Board Post: I recently came across an obituary for Michael Kelledy in an old family scrap book. The obit says Michael died 7/11/1934 and that he was the husband of Ann Kelledy. Also mentioned were sons, Joseph, Harry and John; as well as Ann Dunnington, Mary O'Leary, Elizabeth Soppitt and Sister Dolores of the Carmelite Order. I know that Ann Dunnington and Alice O'Leary were related to my grandfather, John Quigley; and that one of my aunts was named after Sr. Dolores. They lived in St. Louis, MO. I have yet to figure out exactly how the Kelledy and Quigley families are related - but your post sounds like there may be a connection. Any info you can provide will be much appreciated.

I've "rescued" two old diaries which originally belonged to John T. CRAWFORD of Ridge, Livingston Co., New York. The first is an 1880 diary in which something appears to be written on every date outlining his activities, payments, purchases, etc. The second is a 1882 diary, again written in almost everyday if not everyday including details of his activities each day. A sample of some of the activities referenced are as follows: John T. CRAWFORD Ridge, Livingston County, NY 1880 & 1882 Diaries 1880 Samples: · building stone wall with Rob · attending singing school · paid money to Mrs. JONES · went to village with Jack and bought fabric for Margaret · trimmed apple trees · sold sheep to MCMARTER · Rob and I plowed field · Rob and I plowed the lane and removed Daniel’s line fence · dragged for John MANN · washed sheep and sowed corn · bound wheat for Chase · drew wheat with Chase and bought groceries in village $1.58 · drew oats with Chase and Daniel · helped Chase thrash · husked corn at Daniels · dug a well · killed hogs · Settled with Robert SERVICE · went to Hunts Hollow with maple logs Samples from 1882 · drew logs for home at Howells Woods · drew wood from Tom ALVARD and John GEORGE · went to village and mill and got boots tapped · drew bean pods and hay for John EDICK · plowed sod and washed sheep · sheared sheep for John EDICK and Benson · cultivated corn and beans · Cut EDICK’s barley · went after berries in Allegany · settled with Benson for $13.00 · got into Port Huron · went to Messengers Hollow with Mrs. BURKHARDT I'm hoping to locate someone from his family so that these wonderful old family records can be returned to their rightful place with family. If you are a member of this family or know someone who might be, please contact me. Thanks, Shelley
