Does anyone know of a family named Brown whose children were "adopted out" to a family named Atkinson? This would have been in the 1920's, I believe.

Hi everyone, Finally stumbled around my brick wall! Found out that my GR X4 grandfather is an Isaac Stewart, born in CT around 1795. He married a Huldah (unknown maiden name) they had 12 children (poor Huldah), all born in Madison county. Isaac and Huldah (with 4 children) emigrated to McHenry county, Illinois in the mid 1840's as are listed in the 1850 census there. Others went to Wisconsin. Anyone have any info on Isaac or Huldah? Will be very glad to share as I know quite a bit about 3 other children of Isaac-- Sue

Warham Williams died in 1814 Madison Co., wife Rebecca. Sons: Clay, Tom, William, Lemuel. Warham was of Ct., settled in Madison Co. 1796, Rev. War (Records of Rev. War Vets who lived in Madison Co., by Isabel Bracy, 1988). I have not done any research on this man. My interest is that there is a Clay Williams in Montgomery Co., NY for only a very brief time, on a tax list. I'm searching the Montgomery Co. Williams', namely Daniel Williams of Rev. war and Daniel, his son of War of 1812. The Rev. War Daniel Williams spent about 10 years in Smithfield, Madison Co. from ca 1812 to ca 1823. Then back to Montgomery Co. I need to do a work-up but when I found the note on Warham I thought I would send a query. Deanna

Since this was mentioned in a woman's obit, these are most likely all women's branches of certain orders - but I'm not sure which ones - other than that the 1st one would be Masons, 2nd would be Shriners which are a division of the Masons?
