Any Coons to eastern Iowa? Jim in Vermont

Just a little more about Tinker Hollow. Maybe I expanded the size of Tinker Hollow just a bit when I said it was a "cross roads". Of course, like many other such places (like Hoboken) the name covered a larger area than just one spot. But there was a corner there once and a schoolhouse on that corner. That was where Pickett Road joined T. Hollow Road. Pickett rd. starts off from Quarterline rd and is now abandoned about halfway down to T. Hollow. (Check the 1875 map) The end of Pickett is now used as a farm lane. We found out about this a few rears ago while looking for old school houses. Pickett rd was the one I think I mentioned in my web site story, telling how I walked with my Grandfather from his farm, through the woods to Pickett rd and down to T.Hollow (to the Lee Stone farm) and drove back my Grandfather's bull, which had taken a notion to investigate Lee's cows. I remember when Rt 46 turned south of Munnsville toward Stockbridge Falls and went through Pratts Hollow to Pine woods. The Bear Path was a steep narrow dirt road. I always thought it got its name because only the bears used it. It was lined with trees and woods and seemed dark and kind of forbidding. You can imagine how steep and hard to travel it was when you see how steep a hill the present road ( rt 46) has. Even now tractor-trailer trucks sometimes have "jackknife" trouble in the wintertime.

to all who pointed out some problems with the transfer of my web site to a new ISP. Think it is all fixed now ... and hope it's all safely ensconced at: http://home.comcast.net/~ingallsam/ And thanks to all of you who welcomed me to Florida. I've actually been here in Florida five years already ... just north of Tampa ... and now am a bit SW of Jacksonville. I've gone from being the youngest on the block in the Tampa area ... to the oldest on the block in my new neighborhood in this part of the country. See a touch of central NY here and there ... and actually have a hill or two. The cooler weather and dryer air up here are all very welcome. And I'm already looking foward to seeing the leaves change color in the fall. Regards to all, Anita

Does anyone have any information on the Goff Glass House in Petersboro? It was built around 1795 and gone between 1926-1928. Thanks, Patty

Bear Path that I know of is the hill just out side of Stockbridge going toward Bouckville on Rt 46 In God We Trust

Tim, Those two questions are easy ones!. Donna Burdick has the Bear Path exactly right. It is route 46 from Munnsville to Pine Woods. It was known as the Bear Path when rt 46 was the old road going through Pratts Hollow. Tinker Hollow, just a "cross roads now", is in the Town of Madison on the eastern edge. Tinker Hollow road runs from Stone Road through the edge of Oneida County toward the town of Brookfield. It begins near the electricty producing "windmill farm" owned by the Stone Family and goes on south east. My grandparents lived a "whoop and a holler" from Tinker Hollow.

Tinker Hollow was a former name for Pleasant Valley in the southwest part of Smithfield. But that would be north of Rte. 20, although definitely west of Rte. 12. Chas. - are you out there? Sounds like something you would know.

Tim I believe this is a reference to the Fairview Cemetery on Route 46 in the town of Eaton, north of Pine Woods. Route 46 is known locally as The Bear Path. The cemetery is on the east side of 46, just across from the intersection of Lynch Rd. with 46. Buried here are the Protestant Irish settlers of the early 1800s - Kern, Lynch, Marshall, Tackabury, Philpot, Tooke and others.

From Smithfield: "Pleasant Valley: settled area in the southwest part of the town and partly in the town of Nelson. Previously called Tinker Hollow, the name was changed in 1888 by Levi Miller, Jr., when he established a cheese factory here. The area had its own saw mill and a potashery was once located on Brooks Road. School District No. 11 (later No. 5) was in this valley." ----- Original Message ----- From: "Tim Stowell" <tstowell@chattanooga.net> To: <NYMADISO-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Friday, May 06, 2005 12:00 AM Subject: [NYMADISO] Tinker Hollow? > Has anyone knowledge of a place, placename of Tinker Hollow south of 20 > west of Route 12? > > Sounds familiar but then it may be fuzzy thinking. > > > Tim Stowell tstowell@chattanooga.net > Chattanooga, TN > > > > ==== NYMADISO Mailing List ==== > Search the list archives: > http://searches2.rootsweb.com/cgi-bin/listsearch.pl - put NYMADISO for > the name of the list > >

Tim There is a Bear SWAMP Road in the Town of Fenner, Madison County (next to Cazenovia). Don't know if that helps. dick

Has anyone knowledge of a place, placename of Tinker Hollow south of 20 west of Route 12? Sounds familiar but then it may be fuzzy thinking. Tim Stowell tstowell@chattanooga.net Chattanooga, TN

I've been queried about a Bear Path Road cemetery in Madison county. I can find no reference to such a cemetery or even a road by that name. I've even looked at New York on a state-wide basis with no luck. Anyone? Tim Stowell tstowell@chattanooga.net Chattanooga, TN

Does anyone know what the letters B. R. or N. B. mean following the names of people appointed to be postmasters in the 1800s? On a list copied from records at the National Archives, Czar Dikeman & John G. Curtis are listed as "B. R. 17 May 1837" under Peterboro postmasters. Under Siloam postmasters is the following "Lewis Nash & Sylvester Dickey N. B. 15 Nov. 1842." I can't remember where I found these notes. It might have been at the Madison Co. Historical Society. At the top of the page it said "Postmasters - Appointment Records - National Archives." Thanks, Donna
