I received a note from the Scofield photographer in Syracuse and she says her name was originally spelld SCHOFIELD, so not related to the Utica photographer. The Utica Historical Society may have some information on early area photographers to help ID the photos that were found.

Is the List down??? janice

Hi, I am wondering if you are from the same Scofield family that did photography in Utica in the 19th century and more? My wife's great-great grandmother was from Utica, Helen Boes, and had her portrait taken, very nicely I must say, as a teenager, probably in 1880's. I am a member of the [email protected] list and a lady recently wrote that she came across a bunch of old family photos taken by Utica photographers, ca 1900, and wondered if anyone new of any records that may have been kept all these years to help id the photos and re-unite with their present families. If you can help, or provide any leads, your input would be greatly appreciated. Dave Rafferty, Kalamazoo

I am trying to find anyone who may be researching Eliza (unknown maiden name) BUTLER. She was married to Erastus BUTLER about 1853 in Lee, Oneida Co., NY by Nicholas Ufford, Justice of Peace. Erastus was born in Lee in 1827. Eliza was born in Ava, just north of Lee, July 10, 1835. Erastus died in December 1, 1880 near Lee. Eliza was still alive October 30, 1922 when she applied for a Civil War Pension on Erastus. She must have died shortly after that, for no more information was given in the file, which was retired Jan 29, 1923 and on June 27, 1927 the file was marked ABANDONED. Eliza may have remarried. But not according to the application she filed on October 30, 1922, she was 87 years old at the time and states she never remarried. Following are children that were probably her's as found on census reports and the last two reported in the pension file, along with birth dates: Alice A. BUTLER, b. abt. 1855 Henrittie (also found as Esidora) BUTLER, b. abt. 1859 George William BUTLER, b. abt. 1862 Franklin J. BUTLER, b. May 03, 1866 Francis Elizabeth BUTLER, b. March 11, 1874 Any information on any of the above people would be appreciated. I would love to know the maiden name of Eliza! Her last known mailing address was in Bernhard Bay, Oswego Co., NY in 1922. This is were she filed for the above mentioned pension. She was 87 years old at that time. Thanks. Dave in PA

Your best bet would be to check with the Oneida County Historical Society. I know a few years ago they had a "photography expert" who could answer your questions. I've seen Scofield stereoviews (of Utica) on Ebay as recently as last week. There are also quite a few Utica City Directories you can check. For example; the 1874 directory lists a David Harris as a Utica photographer residing at 33 Tracy; and an Abner Gardner, photographer with a business at 109 Genesee; and a Charles Mundy listed as a photographer at 11 Broad St. etc. etc. Gardner and Mundy also have advertisements in the directory. I didn't check the others but here is a link for the 1874 Utica City Directory that is searchable online. http://www.distantcousin.com/Directories/NY/Utica/1874/ Here is a link for 1854: http://homepages.rootsweb.com/~godwin/utica1854/ www.ancestry.com has city directories for utica (1887-1891) and for Amsterdam (same years.

Does anyone know if there could be any records - negatives - about these photographers of Utica and Amsterdam ? I just received a wonderful large group of unidentified family photos. Most ca 1900 some before - some tin types. Utica: Younge - Gurley - Mundy - Girard - Pickett - Harris and Greene - Scofield - Gardner & Frey Amsterdam: Kennedy - Kibbe Photos relate most likely to the O'Neil - Dillon - Butler - Knefley - Leroy - Fitzsimmons - Weldon (Richfield Spngs) - Maguire / families.

Some info I came across perhaps it might be of use to someone - I browsed through the older books at St. Agnes Cemetery in Utica last week looking for Murphys and O'Neils - (also Sullivan) and this is what I found. If anyone is researching Murphy - O'Neal or Dillon I'd love to share information with you. Hope this helps someone.

Sullivan I'm told that these graves would be in the early section of the cemetery over near Eagle St. There is no record as to where the graves are exactly. There is a money figure with each entry - $8 $5 or $3 - I was assuming that the lower number were kids and the higher ones adults - that may not be true - thus the reason I put POS Child - only the Thomas Murphy Child specifically indicated it was a child - except the infant marked - none of these names said infant.

James O'Neil died in 1855 town of Trenton, Oneida. In his surrogate file there is a note from a Perry O'Neil father of James O'Neil to the court with Perry's mark on it. Jame's wife is Catharine - and there are 4 sons who guardianship is provided for. Sons: James, John, Martin and William. Does anyone have access to an 1855 NYS Census that could tell me if Perry O'Neil is listed and perhaps if his wife is listed. THANKS Mark

Just a note that these are only the historical markers that were installed by the NYS Education Department from 1926 to 1966. There are many, many more markers that were placed by other groups such as the DAR and especially the county and local historical societies. In Erie County, for example, the Buffalo and Erie County Historical Society and the Landmark Society have placed the majority of the historical markers here.

The following was just offered on EBay. Thought that either the item itself, or the information the seller posted, might be of interest to Madison or Oneida Co. researchers: This is a Rare Vintage "The Holy Bible: Containing The Old and New Testaments" book. This is dated 1837, has 1214 pages, was Stereotyped by A. Chandler and published by The American Bible Society. This beautiful old book has a wonderful decorative full-leather cover, is marked as being from Durhamville, NY, Oneida County and would be a wonderful addition to any collection. The family records section has been filled in with great early hand-written Geneology information over the years. It reads as follows: Births Job Wright - August 11, 1772 Elizabeth Barber - June 15, 1774 Huldah Wright - June 14, 1795 Matildah Wright - August 2, 1797 Anna Wright - Jan. 4, 1802 Sheldon Wright - April 15, 1805 David L.
