Hi, looking for any information on the Andrew Babcock family. He was married to Charlotte M. Beeman on Jul 12, 1848. Andrew b. Feb. 3, 1828 and d. Apr. 18, 1887 Sullivan, Madison Co., NY I have three children: Francis M. b. Jan. 1850 Maryette b. abt. 1856 James R. b. abt. 1863 I am to assume there are more children with the dates so spread apart. Thanks, Beth

I have a fairly lengthly obituary on Emmett L. Nichols, b. 1833 in Fenner but I didn't want to post it to the list because it takes up so much room. If anyone is interested in it, please let me know and I will e-mail it to you privately. It's a very nice obit and he was almost 101 years old. His wife was the daughter of Adrian V. Boardman and Betsey Shaver Boardman. Best Always, Carol

Thank you to all on the Otsego list who responded to my inquiry regarding cemetery books etc. I guess I had Leonardsville in the wrong county but I'm posting my newest inquiry to both lists as a just in case. I have several family members who hail from the Leonardsville, Plainfield and even Brookfield area. I understand Leonardsville and Plainfield are neighboring towns with a river in between. That may explain the confusion on my part with regards to the correct county. In any case, I have several family members that I'm trying to find a final resting place for. All the families are intertwined by marriage somehow and all are Seventh Day Baptist. These families are CRANDALL, ST. JOHN, BABCOCK, WILCOX, and others. I had inquired earlier about cemetery books and basically what was out there. For the record, I do not know what cemetery any of these family members are in but I'm hoping some kind soul has a cemetery book on their shelf and would look up these names for me. In Leonardsville they are as follows: 25 Dec 1888 Death Babcock, Alzina 16 Dec 1899 Death Babcock, Mary 5 Feb 1908 Death Crandall, Darwin Schuyler ABT. 1920 Death St. John, George Whitfield 19 Mar 1850 Death St. John, John Milton 31 Jan 1876 Burial St. John, Milton Wilcox 14 Aug 1873 Death Wilcox, Nancy In NY, Madison, Brookfield 1895 Death Crandall, Jonathan 1 Feb 1890 Death Crandall, Varnum 14 Sep 1918 Death St. John, Henry Cornwall Forgive the format, I copied the info from my genealogy program. If anybody can help me out and give me some clue about the final resting place for any of these family members, I would be most grateful. I've spent so much time working on a cemetery project in the county I live in I've done very little of my own research. Christine Emond

..thank you for all you do, including taking care of Daniel Weiskotten's site. Blessings on you.

Chock full of genealogy of many families. =============================== Cortland County - Nothing to report as I've been working almost exclusively on the giant Norwich chapter above. =============================== Madison County - 1872 History of Madison County - Appendix Notes, errata for the entire book. http://www.rootsweb.com/~nymadiso/1872end.htm ------------------------------ As of this week I am now maintaining Dan Weiskotten's site on Rootsweb: http://www.rootsweb.com/~nyccazen/ The only planned change at the moment is to replace his email address with a different place for folks to contact for comments / questions regarding the site. ================================= Lastly, regarding contributions / transcriptions - I'm about through the first batch of transcriptions folks started about 3 months ago. It's time to send out another batch to those who've returned their transcriptions. I'm having to reformat a work I did on a DeRuyter book as it is not viewing as it should in some browsers. A contributed posted to one of the county lists that they had contributed some material a long time ago that never made it to the web page. My apologies for that. When I went to look, see what had happened I discovered I had started formatting the work, then apparently got side-tracked, time passed and I forgot about it. I try to keep all contributions classed by county in seperate folders so I can see where things stand. Some contributions take more TLC than others to format for the web sites. Picture if you will a person standing at the mouth of a river and when it rains all the collected water comes to one point. In a way that where I stand as do others who coordinate web sites. At present I have to review this number of emails to see if there are items that need adding - Chenango - 469 Cortland - 59 Madison - 219 plus another 90 general ones and another 550, a goodly portion dealing with railroads in central New York. As I have varied interests I am always exploring new avenues of material which adds to the stacks - and folks keep sending material. So my plan is to attack these stacks one by one to get the backlog out and down. Comments welcome.

I have Curtis ancestors, Samuel Curtis and Lucinda Allen/Alling, who settled in Madison County in 1793/4, but they were from Stratford, Fairfield co., CT. Any relation that you know of to the family you are looking for information on? Samuel's grandfather married a woman from Litchfield, and it appears to me that the county line between Fairfield and Litchfield moved around a bit. If there is a connection, I can pass along the info I have gathered from census figures and assorted web pages.

Dear List, New to this list and hope that someone will be able to help with the early Curtis family (born Litchfield Co, CT) who removed to Madison Co. early (1790, etc.). I'd like to write to or correspond with a county/town historian if anyone knows who that may be. Townships in particular would be Smithville or Madison. This is specifically the Wethersfield line of Curtis. Any help very much appreciated. Ernie

Hello and Thanks- my sis-in-law says that she does not even know if this place even exist any longer-but she was not sure of the county it may have been in- or how big the area may have been-could have been a slang used only by people who lived in this area- but she said it may have been in Steuben or maybe Chemug counties- maybe- lots of help she was LOL- Peggy ----- Original Message ----- From: <PNUTREG@cs.com> To: <NYMADISO-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Wednesday, June 29, 2005 9:12 AM Subject: Re: [NYMADISO] Town Question > Hi Peggy > > I don't know of any Perry Hollow in Madison County but there is a Perryville > and a Perryville Falls (a gorgeous natural falls) and a Perryville Cemetery. > This area is just a couple miles or so from Chittenango NY and I was a the > Cemetery a couple times.

Peggy, there was a Perry, a Perry Center, and a West Perry in Wyoming Co ( western NY I think). Maybe there was a Hollow in there somewhere???

Hi Peggy I don't know of any Perry Hollow in Madison County but there is a Perryville and a Perryville Falls (a gorgeous natural falls) and a Perryville Cemetery. This area is just a couple miles or so from Chittenango NY and I was a the Cemetery a couple times. It could be that the area between the village and falls could have been referred to as a Hollow but I never heard of it being called that. Regards Pat R.

Sorry, Folks, On John's URL I left out the "little squiggly mark" (tilde?) that goes before ameralia. So it should be-- http://freepages.history.rootsweb.com/~ameralia This should work ok now. Chas

Would anyone know of a town or place called Perry Hollow, not sure if this place would still be called the same or not- I do not know the county either- my sis-in-law is doing research on family name Vandermark or Vendermark- Thank you Peggy

Hi Charles It does not seem to work - any other URL that might take me there? Thanks Pat R

I forgot to mention--if anyone else wants to view John's web pages, here is where I found them. http://freepages.history.rootsweb.com/ameralia Chas

John, I have just started to go through your web pages. What a lot of new stuff you have put on! It's great to have the information on the Madison Cemeteries updated. You and Sharyn must have worked really hard when you were here. In that picture of Stewart Phelps and his sister--there's a true Gentleman and Lady! (chuckle). Do you have a later picture of Stewart, like age 50 or 60? I'd like to see if he resembled the Will Phelps that I knew. I have another picture of Madison High School, I'll send you, just for the heck of it. Chas
