Yep that is my gggrandfather and grandmother. The Roseltha ( actually Emily Roseltha) that you list married to James H Miller are my ggrandfather and mother. I have the Piersall line and am trying to get the Beebes. Eliza is my gggreat aunt so welcome cousin.

However, I also have a BEEBE ancestor who married into the PIERSALL/PEARSALL line and can tell you about that line. Does this information sound like yours? John Piersall (son of Samuel Piersall) b. m. Emily _____(name not listed in book) 10 children: -Samuel -Edward -David -George -Roseltha -m. James Miller -Elizabeth -Ellen -Anna -Lavinia -Jane The Piersall/Pearsall line is a long one and if the above Roseltha is indeed your Emily Roseltha Piersall, then you can track your Piersall line WAAAAAYYYYY back. Let me know if this information sounds like what you are looking for. I have a thick three volume set on the Piersall/Pearsall line. If this is your family then your ggggrandmother would be my gggg aunt (if I have enough greats). John Piersall was the brother to my ancestor, Eliza Piersall (b 1829) who married David Beebe (b 1819). Hope this helps! Barb

I was just looking through the ProQuest Historical Newspapers and saw an article about the sinking of the steamer Atlantic. I noticed that there was an account of bravery on the part of "Mr. Isaac W. Snooks, of Lennox, Madison County", the article is very graphic in the description of the passengers as they tried to escape the sinking. (Do you suppose that is where Baby Snooks came from?) It was in the New York Daily Times, August 26, 1852 and was entitled "The Lake Erie Catastrophe" if you plan to look it up. It certainly points up how dangerous the steamers were at that time.

I saw the name Beebe in Joan Meddaugh's email and my interest was piqued. My ggggrandmother was Emily Beebe b abt 1825. she married John Piersall or Pearsall and they had a daughter named Emily Roseltha Piersall. They lived in Constantia, Oswego Co., in 1880. Do you have any Emily's in your Beebes? From: Joan Meddaugh <lpmj@juno.com> Date: September 30, 2005 5:39:01 PM PDT To: NYMADISO-L@rootsweb.com Subject: William H. Tuttle Hi everybody, I also would like to make a remark about William H. Tuttle and the book Pioneers of Madison Co. From what I can tell, he has done a pretty so so job. But in the case of my 5th & 6th great grandfathers Zadoc Beebe I and II he managed to get some dates confused. I will quote" Zadoc Sr. Settled in Brookfield, NY in 1894 and died in 1825. Now if someone can explain that mystery to me I would appreciate it. His son Zadoc Jr. who was age 94 when he died in 1866 which would make him born in 1772 would have had a hard time with that one don't you think? I also couldn't find anything on my great grandmother Ellen Amelia Hills, her husband Hiram J. Beebe his father Jusdson and his wife Susan Blanding Beebe. These people would have been born from the late 1700's to the mid 1800's Hiram was born about 1847 his son Will my grandfather born 1869. Joan Beebe Meddaugh Candor, NY

Was she related to the Sylvester Nash also listed therein? If so, how? Any information about her will be appreciated.

If you can not get there I would check with the State Library or LDS to see if you can borrow the film if they have it. It would be a great project for someone to transcribe and put on the internet. -- Best regards.

I have WOODWORTH Rev. Charles A. and Mary WOODWORTH, the parents of Sarah Baker WOODWORTH who married Walter Norton RENWICK. He was located in Belmont, Allegany County. Sarah and Walter were married 1898. I don't have anything more about Woodworth, but thought it might be a connection to yours.

These people would have been born from the late 1700's to the mid 1800's Hiram was born about 1847 his son Will my grandfather born 1869. Ellen was the daughter of Chloe Clarke Hills and James Hills of Brookfield, NY they had 5 daughters and none of them were mentioned either nor their husbands. Lucy was married to George White son of a Daniel White of Whitesmills not from Brookfield. Francie was married to Hank/Henry Spooner and had only one son Frank Spooner Sarah was married to a George Woodworth and had two children a boy and a girl. The girl died at age 7 during a out break of Diphtheria. Phoebe married 3 times, once to a Mr. Tuttle. He was murdered for his payroll. She was pregnant with her only child and lost it. Phoebe later married a George K. Knapp a widower with two children George and Frances. George died in 1910 She later married James Fordyance Hickox he died before her and she died shortly in the poor house. Ellen Amelia Hills married Hiram J. Beebe son of Judson L. And Susan Blanding Beebe both of Brookfield. Can't find any thing on them either. Joan Beebe Meddaugh Candor, NY

Hi everybody. Recently, my friend Doris posted some info. from Pioneers of Madison Co., by William Tuttle. Over the years, I've heard some professional-type genealogists complain about Tuttle, saying mainly that he didn't cite his sources. That's true and he often made spelling errors, especially in names, such as Cable for Caleb and adding an "e" on Benjamin. But I'd like to tell you how he just helped me. I had an article from an 1854 newspaper talking about someone visiting at Clarkville, within six miles of Peterboro. I knew Clarkville was an earlier name for Brookfield which is sure more than six miles from Peterboro. Then I realized that the person was staying with N. S. Cady. I went to Tuttle and found lots of info. on Nathan Stanton Cady of CLOCKVILLE. Should have realized it was Clockville! Guess what I'm saying is Madison Co. is lucky to have the Tuttle book. At least it's a starting point. Donna B.

Thank you for your time Charles. I appreciate it. Dorothy Baker
