Re; William Lott of Montgomery and Orleans Co. N.Y. Thanks for the input Ray, I have an Abraham Lott in the Montgomery Co. Census of 1790 with 3 males 0-16, 3 males 16+ and 4 females. No other Lott's listed until 1810 then Peter is listed also. "Father" William Lott is buried at Lynhaven Cemetary with birth and death dated listed on his tombstone, and I have a copy of his obit. How would I go about getting something on this Abraham???? It was so early that I can't seem to find any records on him! Two sources tell me that Amraham Lott was buried at what was call Lott Cemetary and Angling Rd. Cemetary in Orleans Co. Orleans Co. GENWEB has him listed under another name. I also know that he was an alcoholic and used "profane swearing" and was dismissed on May 4, 1808 from the First Baptist Church of Charleston, Montgomery Co. N.Y. (Oh, well there's one in every family). Please advise, Can use all the help I can get! Thanks again!
