Daniel Weiskotten has a couple regiments listed for Madison County 1812 soldiers. Norman Miles (Corporal) 2nd regiment (aka Samuel Dutton's Regiment) and in the 129th regiment (aka Elisha Farnham's regiment): Alanson Miles (Private), Philo Miles (or Mills) (Corporal) and William Reed (Private). No Lowers listed on those 2 particular lists, but he does have another link to check.

Does anyone know what the easiest way to research (briefly) one's Native American ancestry? My 14 year old grandson is supposed to do a family tree and since he's lived with us since he was 2 years old, he doesn't have alot of info on his mother's family history. His grandparents have passed away on her father's side of the family and she swears that they were Tuscarora and Mohawk....I don't know, but he is supposed to get as much information as possible for this project and I have looked in Google, etc., and it's very over-whelming. Is there any local places that I could check? Or any other (easy) ideas would be most appreciated. Best Always, Carol Bain

I would be interested in those in the War of 1812, I understand William Reed served and I would like to know what I can learn about that possibility. Thanks very much. Carol Boggs!

Does anyone have access to the book concerning soldiers from Madison Co who served in the war of 1812? If someone does, could you please look for the names LOWER and MILES? Thanks.

I am searching for the maiden name of Louisa A. who was born 1810 in NY according to her cemetery stone and census. She married Tracy Scott ca. 1830 in NY. Tracy Scott was the son of Levi and Catherine (Ives) Scott. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks, Jeannette

I am in Lakeland- I wonder why the lady would have told me they did not-it was just before they re-did the library a few months ago-maybe she just did not know and just told me they did not have the loan -my mom would have been born the last day of Sept.1930 - so would you know what film I should ask for again ? maybe it would have shown up in the month of Oct.1930 for Leonardville- I will ask again from someone else in the library about this the next time I go- DUH- can not believe they told me they did not Peggy ----- Original Message ----- From: <PNUTREG@cs.com> To: <NYMADISO-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Wednesday, November 17, 2004 10:57 PM Subject: Re: [NYMADISO] QUESTION Newspapers > Hi Peggy > > For some reason I thought you were in Lakeland Fl and the Lakeland Public > Library.

Hi John, Can you tell me where Indian opening and Madison Center is, in relation to the village of Madison or some other town in Madison County, NY? I am looking for the birth parents of Brownell S Simmons b 20 August 1798 Madison NY. His death certificate says his parents were Gideon Simmons and Anna Simmons. I have found the first wife of Gideon to be Patience Ellis with whom he had seven children. I have found this list several places.She died Oct 13 1792. Gideon then married Ruth Stoddard, daughter of Benjamin Stoddard and Phebe Brownell Stoddard April 9 1797. My Brownell was born 16 months after their marriage, His wifes mothers maiden name was Brownell, thus Brownell Simmons could be a child of there's. I can find no reference to Brownell until the 1820 census where he is married to Anna Tripp with one child. From the HISTORY OF MADISON COUNTY I see the Congregational Church of Madison was organized Sept 6 1796 first meeting in a barn and then at a meeting house at the "CENTER." Do you or anyone have any information from this church or any of the early churches of Madison ?? Thanks Roger

Hi Peggy For some reason I thought you were in Lakeland Fl and the Lakeland Public Library. I know has interlibrary loan and I thought you were in that town. Regards Pat R

Thanks Pat- tried last year to get a card from the big library-it is in Hillsborough Co. and a 45 min.drive for me-not bar really-but they will not issue me a card out of the county- I was trying to get one to have access to Heritage Quest and you ahve to have a card from their library,but not out of their county -DUH- I do keep trying just in case they change their minds- my moms birth thing was a long shot anyway- would have been nice to have it,but maybe I will find a way yet- Thanks again Peggy ----- Original Message ----- From: <PNUTREG@cs.com> To: <NYMADISO-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Wednesday, November 17, 2004 7:32 AM Subject: Re: [NYMADISO] QUESTION Newspapers > Hi Peggy > > My local Library does not have interlibrary loan either, but the Main > Library in your County is the one that will have it.

Hi Mary Kay The only communication I have had with Wisconsin regarding the Rockwells came to an abrupt end. The lady who I spoke with was basically heading up a Rockwell reunion and was not familiar with the genealogy of the family. She offered to talk to others in the family but never got back to me. Most likely not the same lady - would be glad to respond to anyone regarding any of this family. There are some pretty notorious characters in the Rockwell family...
