Another option that we have in my local town is the newspaper office itself. They have all of there papers on microfilm too. And you probably could do research for free there too. Give them a call. beth ----- Original Message ----- From: <PNUTREG@cs.com> To: <NYMADISO-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Wednesday, November 17, 2004 5:32 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.

Check that... at the end of all that I said Thomas Belding R. was the son of Thomas and Mary Jemima (Dunham) Rockwell - that's wrong - he was the son of Thos. and Hannah (Tymeson) Rockwell - her father was Garrett Tymeson, thus Garrett Rockwell, my great grandfather. John __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? The all-new My Yahoo! - Get yours free! http://my.yahoo.com

The Thomas B. Rockwell that you are talking about is Thomas Burr Rockwell, not of the line of Thomas, who married Lucy Lindley, and second, married Hannah Tymeson. Thomas Burr Rockwell and Thomas Belding Rockwell both had fathers named Thomas (this one is really FULL of idiosyncracies) and both had roots in Connecticut. Thomas, who settled in Stockbridge, is very likely the son of either Thomas or John Rockwell, whose parents were John and Abigail (Belden) Rockwell. I can't make a guess at this point as to whether it was John or Thomas who was the father, but feel very confident that I am in the right line. Some of this comes from the Tuttle genealogy, some from the Rockwell/Keeler genealogy, and the rest comes from looking at this particular family in a wide variety of sources and connecting them. Not only is the Thomas B. controversial (which I do believe I have sorted out now), but there is also another Thomas B., born in, or removed to, Cortland County, related to a Garrett Rockwell. This is not the same Garrett Rockwell who is my great grandfather, but another, and gets his name from the surname of a family which married into that particular Rockwell line - same as Thomas Belding, or Belden, Rockwell did. It's a rat's nest really and, unfortunately, there isn't anything definitive regarding this particular area of Rockwells. Thomas Burr Rockwell was a missionary, but his family went to Illinois - Thomas Belding Rockwell married Mary Jemima Dunham, was a farmer, stayed in Stockbridge and died there. Most likely, Thomas Belding/Belden Rockwell was born in Greene County, and possibly... has ties in Westchester County in the Salem, or South Salem area. At this point I am not able to find a source for Thos. B's birth, but I disagree with the Tuttle account, as Thomas, the father, is found in the 1800 Greene County census living "next door" to Beldings, Dans, and Tuttles. By way of Hammond, he settled in Stockbridge in 1813. Thomas Belding/Belden Rockwell was born in 1802 - the son of Thomas and Mary Jemima (Dunham) Rockwell.

Hi Rosemarie, While you're in Janesville would you mind seeing if Joseph Gordon, John Gordon or Joseph Congdon were ever affiliated with the Seventh Day Baptists in Madison Co., NY.? I would appreciate it. By the way, if you're coming to Monroe I would like to meet you for coffee. I am usually available between 11 AM and 4 PM. Thanks, Jim Thalacker 325-6431

Hi John, There is a gal in Rock Co, WI who is doing research on the Rockwell family. Have you had any contact with anyone in Rock Co. WI? Mary Kay

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. However depending on where you live you might be closer to one in a neighboring county. You will need your Library Card. It is a little farther for me to drive but well worth the trip when I need it and our Genealogy Society meets there once a month and our Genealogy Library is there. I have found this to be a very successful route for research and don't know what I would do without it. You might also try writing to the local Genealogical Society or Historical Society and see if they have a newspaper collection in their archives. . A great many of them do, however sometimes it isn't a complete collection. I have also used that route in the past first and if they don't have it I order the newspaper interlibrary loan. Warm Regard Pat R

Hi All: In watching recent posts I've noticed some of you are interested in 7th Day Baptists. This week I'm going to Janesville, WI. to do some of my own research on Wells & Straights of Allegany & Madison Cos., NY. If you'd like me to look for something, email me at: Rosemarie547@webtv.net DON'T MAIL me on the list unless you put JANESVILLE, WI. in the subject line. I'm leaving Thursday so get it to me Wednesday. Rosemarie

Hi The Site is the New York Newspaper Project and the films are available on InterLibrary Loan. http://www.nysl.nysed.gov/nysnp/ Regards Pat R

Barbara, I had not been interested in the Brown family until I saw the name Marsden mentioned. My great grand mother was Polly Marsden [of Vienna]. I believe [without looking it up] she was daughter of Richard Marsden [brother of Charles] and grand daughter of Capt. George Marsden, Rev. War patriot. I have quite a bit on the Marsdens, if you or anyone is interested. I have Anna listed but didn't know whom she married., etc. There is an interesting story about Capt. George and his wife, Wilmot[Wilmoth Lee]. Chas

I believe I found a site that gave the list of old newspapers that were availabe for the NY newspaper project. I can not find it now. Can someone help me with an address?
