Delores, I am interested in the publications. Please do list them. I descend from a family that lived in the Newfane area between 1815 and 1835 before moving on to Michigan. I descend from an Alexander Douglass who was an excise commissioner in 1819 and he dies in 1829. I would like to know more about the history of the Newfane area. The eldest daughter, Eliz Douglass marries Enoch Pease of Wilson. Rosemary Delavan, WI ----- Original Message ----- > I have family who went to Newfane.
