John, No it wasn't me (re: Isbells). I remember an Isbell had a sawmill, I think it may have been in West Eaton.

Hello, John. Here is an addition to your Isbell family tree: In the Eaton Cemetery Sarah M. Isbell, d. March 13, 1825; ae. 8 mos. & 3 days. Daughter of Eleazer & Sarah Isbell. === Also, a newspaper notice from the Monte Vista Journal, Colorado, dated July 22, 1916: for the son of Abner & Elizabeth (Goodspeed) Isbell, Albert M. Isbell Was found dead in his car on Tues. evening. Age 65. Had lived in Valley for more than 20 yrs. Owned considerable property, but little is known about him. Body shipped back to Eaton, N.Y. for burial. Hope this is all useful. Doug

Tim, My gr-gr-grandfather, Alden MASON b. in Swansea MA, spent the later part of his life (d. in 1883) in DeRuyter which I can locate via census. But can come up with little more than a wife with first name of Rhoda ?? (possibly DUNBAR) who d. in 1858 in Palermo, Oswego Co, NY. That is, if I'm correct. Do you have any MASONs who were Baptist in the material to which you refer?

Hello to all I can't remember who it was, possibly Chas... who was asking about the Isbell family, awhile back. Anyway, I've put some energy into the family, as my great grandmother was Edith Isbell of Eaton. What I have done with this project is used Edna Warren Mason's work: "The Descendants of Robert Isbell in America" along with quite a few other sources, but concentrated on the family as it is related to Madison County. There are 10 generations of the family at: http://pear.4t.com Eventually I will have Mason's book online somewhere but, for now, will offer to do some lookups and be glad to amend this work, if any of you can be of help.

Looking for info on my great-grandmother Margaret Suits. She married Edward Harding about 1896. It was a second marriage for her. They had 3 children, Murtice (spelling ?), Clarence, and Edward. Margaret had a child Ellen, from a first marriage. Thanks, Patty

I am looking for information about Epenetus Munger, b. c. 1806, possibly in Rensselaersville, Albany Co., NY. An LDS/IGI source lists him as the son of Abraham/Abram Munger (1775-1852) and Phoebe Hopkins(1773-1848) who appear to be buried in Lebanon, Madison Co. The same LDS source lists other children as: (all births "Of Rensselaarville, , Albany, New York") 1. Fanny Munger Female Birth: 06 AUG 1797 Death: 04 MAR 1826 2. Jemina Munger Female Birth: 13 FEB 1800 Death: 20 AUG 1827 3. Erastus Munger Male Birth: 21 MAY 1802 Death: 01 APR 1895 4. Eliza Munger Female Birth: About 1804 (no further information) 5. Ephenetus Munger Male Birth: About 1806 (no further information) 6. Thankful Munger Female Birth: About 1809 Death: 1871 7. Harvey Munger Male Birth: 16 FEB 1812 Death: 01 MAY 1862 8. Lemuel Munger Male Birth: 1814 (no further information) [SEE BURIALS BELOW] Some of the above information is consistent with cemetery information on the Madison Co., NY, website for Randallsville Cem., Lebanon, Madison Co., NY: _http://www.rootsweb.com/~nymadiso/rndlsvlc.htm_ (http://www.rootsweb.com/~nymadiso/rndlsvlc.htm) Munger, Sernantha, consort Erastus d. 23 Jan 1836 ae 33yr [not in the LDS information] Munger, Lemuel, son Abraham & Phebe d. 29 Sept 1832 ae 18yr Munger, Abram d. 25 Nov 1852 ae 77y4m Munger, Thebe, wf Abrahan d. 16 Nov 1848 ae 75y6m20d Can anyone verify Epenetus' parents or anything about his or Abraham/Abram's family?

Quite a while ago, I asked a question about the 1860 census; in that census, there was a column titled 'Married During The Year' and I asked if this means within the year '1860' or thelast 12 months? Many of you kindly sent me the answer (which I thought was correct before I asked); I now have the definitive answer sent by a census official who read my question as well - below is her answer: 15. Married during the Year.-- Under heading 11, you are to make a dash (1) opposite the name of each person, male and female, married within the year previous to June 1; that is, of all persons who are residents, and whose names are entered on the schedule Should you ever have questions on what the columns, or information in them, was supposed to contain you can find the answers at http://www.ipums.org/usa/voliii/tEnumInstr.html Thanks everyone for the answers you sent but I thought you would like to know that your analysis was proven correct.

From a visitor: "Item needs home: We purchased a box lot at an auction in the Binghamton, N.Y. area a year of so ago. One of the items in the box was a small personal bible. There is a name and town in it, Nathan S. Niles, Georgetown, Madison, N.Y. I'd like to have it go to a family member. The bible is dated 1847." “I find there is a Nathan Niles buried in the NILES Cemetery --- perhaps this is he ??” If this is your family, please let me know and I'll put you in contact. ------------------------------------------------------via webmail---- Tim Stowell tstowell@chattanooga.net

It downloaded very fast for me, but I'm on Direcway satellite service and use Windows XP. Also I had no trouble scrolling through.

Hi Tim I am on a Regular Dial Up Service (not the fastest one either) and the Page loaded just fine. Probably 7-8 Sections and I had no problem at all. Regards Pat R

Tim: To access the web page you asked us to look at, it took me 15 secs at most; I have a 56K diak up (Opera Browser shows time it takes to load/connect); one advantage I have is the fact my memory is 1 gigabyte; my op sys is Windows XP and as I said, I have Opera for my Web Browser. Karl

Two to three seconds -broadband

Hi Tim, it loaded just fine for me. Took about 10 secs. and I'm on dial-up.
