Tim, Thanks for your reply. Elissa had already responded with Vianna WHITFORD. That rang a bell. Two NICHOLS brothers (L. Eugene & Erastus) married WHITFORD sisters (Katie & Vianna). After Erastus' death, Vianna remarried to George Allen. Mystery solved. Thanks to all, Jim Roe **************************************** a message dated 7/18/2008 4:46:17 A.M.

She was listed as a servant in the household of George B Hannay (best I can make out). There are no other Whitfords listed in Annsville but are listed mainly in Florence and a smattering of other locations. How any of those locations relate to each other or Madison county, I'm not sure as I know nothing much about Oneida county other than that's where Rome is located. Do you have some sort of time line on Vianna - as to when she married Erastus?
