Pat, do you know anything about Fanny Tibbets? She lived in Pratt's Hollow. I can't find out who her father and mother were. Her daughter was Edith who married Archie Perrine and they lived in Cortland. Edith had a twin brother Austin.

Sorry Shelly, the only Morse name I have is the one I mentioned before. There are MOSS, John, Linn, William (who died 1894 at age 65) and Mary (who died in 1876 age 41) with dates from 1876 to 1911. Judging from all the inscriptions, there seems to be a family tie between the MORSE, MOSS, MATHER, WOODWARD names. The only MORSE name was _(?) O.C. Morse, 12 years Pat

These are not the traditional family Bibles, Deb. They are small pocket sized editions of Pslams, New Testaments, like those that may have been given out in Bible schools. They only seem to have inscriptions, no records. Sorry I can't be of further help. I understand your interest in knowing about your relative. The inscription in one Holy Bible is: "........ - (unreadable letter) O.C. Morse 12 years - 1875 by his Sabboth School May 30 Superintendent I. J. Pierson.........." Pat

Hello Pat, Does Roxanna (maybe Roxanne) Morse or Gershom Morse sound familiar?

My 4th great grandmother was Lodema Morse (married Daniel Smith about 1800). I believe she was born in Stafford Springs, Ct. They are buried in the Huntley Cemetery in Plainfield (Otsego Co.) NY. I'd be interested if you find her name, Pat.

MOSS - MORSE - MATHER - WOODWARD - PIERSON These are all names inscribed in some old Bibles and prayer books I have. The books and inscriptions date from 1808-1905 and the location is apparently in the Brookfield, Eaton, Morrisville area. Would like to see them reunited with their relatives.

> As to why/how someone is "missing" on a census, I have a couple of theories...< Some people just do not want to be counted or have the government know anything about them or who lives there. I was an enumerator in an urban area for the 2000 census--we were sent out to contact everyone who did not send back the form in the mail by the deadline. In the areas I was covering there were more than a few occupied houses I visited half a dozen times or more where the people were never home at various times of day or would not answer the door for whatever reason, so many people were not counted. Some would answer the door but give no information or become abusive, so we were instructed to guess on age, race, gender, number of occupants, etc. without a name. It's no wonder there is a lot of incorrect information. It was probably the same or worse in earlier days. The only cases I saw that had their own reasons for non-disclosure were: a woman trying to hide from an abusive partner who she feared might have gone to work for the census, and a man in a bad neighborhood who was probably a drug dealer or otherwise up to no good. Some census workers have been killed. ---Pam B.

Hi Charles and All My niece who teaches in Brookfield NY purchased a home in Sherrill NY. A few years ago on a trip to Upstate NY my husband and I were able to go to the Oneida Mansion for a tour. Tours are given from Wed. thru Sunday. It was an interesting experience and one that I would suggest to anyone who has the opportunity. A portion of the Oneida Mansion is still home to some of the Descendants of the Oneida Community and I understand that it will remain that way as long as they shall live. That portion of the Mansion you cannot get in. . A number of years ago while doing some lineage research on a family who's migration trail was from Vermount lead to the Madison County area, I found it difficult to locate any information on the family by going through the normal process of seeking land records, wills and searching church records. While researching the thought occurred to me that they might of been a part of John Noyes, Oneida Community. That thought took me on a hunt to locate any and all material I could find regarding the Oneida Community. My instinct was correct and I found information to show that this family did indeed belong to the Oneida Community. So, if you have Vemont Ancestors (others also) who came to Madison County and you cannot find them search the records of the Oneida Community. The Oneida Community was the most sucessful of the utopian communes and lasted the longest. It existed for 30 years from 1848 until 1878. Where can one find the Information: The Special Collections Research Center at Bird Library at Syracuse University has the most extensive records and papers on the Oneida Community due to their interest and studies in social -religious movements . It is located on Waverly Avenue in the University Area. Hour's are 9 AM until 5 PM and I would suggest several days to accomplish any genealogy task. I was fascinated by what I found. Regards Pat R

Hi, Listers, I am writing this mostly for the benefit of those who may not now live in central New York. Maybe they do not realize what has happened. Usually we think of history as things that happened long ago, that took place before we were born. We here have one of the great historical stories of Madison/Oneida Counties, and we are in on the final chapter. In 2004 management announced the demise of the world famous "Oneida Limited", producers of high quality silverware. The name will go on under different management. And the SILVERWARE FACTORY WILL CLOSE ITS DOORS. Sherrill without a silverware factory ! It can't be ! Will the sun rise tomorrow? As far back as I can remember in the 1920's I awoke in the morning to the sound of the OCL factory whistle announcing the start of the work day, and the exodus from Oneida and surrounding area by hundreds of people. Our neighbors from East Walnut street walked past our house to catch the trolley cars on the corner of Main & Walnut to go via "third rail" to the main factory in Sherrill and the knife plant in Kenwood. Just think of this great historical story. In the mid 1850's Old John Humphrey Noyes lead his group of "Perfectionists" from Vermont to establish the world famous Oneida Community astraddle Oneida Creek in Madison and Oneida Counties. It was one of the most successful social experiments of the times. As part of their religion, they practiced a highly contoversial system embracing such concepts as "plural marriage", "scientific breeding", "male continence", communal rearing of children, and a totally communistic socio-economic system. Originally an agricultural community it adapted through the decades to changing times, going from farming to different businesses according to the demands of a changing world economy. In hard times it had the farm to fall back on. For 150 years it remained successful. But the end is here and now. Lots of books and other information has been written about the Oneida Community. Here, I just wanted to remind you that we are alive to see the end of the chapter of one of the great stories of central New York. The name "Oneida Ltd." will go on, with products manufactured probably in foreign countries, but "The Community" with its hundreds of jobs as we have known it died with the factory closing and sale of the business. Chas P.S. Originally known as Oneida Community, the name was changed to "Oneida Community Ltd."(OCL) and finally to "Oneida Ltd."
