Hi everyone, Haven't posted anything on here in a long time but have been reading the letters with interest-some very valuable-like the one with the boundry changes of the Towns and the dates. I am still looking for more information on the McCurn family. Last sunner we went to Rome for the day and I found some old deeds in the basement of the County Clerks office and some helpful people. Thomas Mulkerin bought a piece of property Oct. 31,1871 probably in Rome. It was described as lot 47,Fonda's Patent. Anyone have a clue?[Neal Carrier,maybe} Great grandfather John McCurn bought a cheese factory in the Town of Western Jan 29,1887. It was Quacker Hill Cheese Factory and the description of the equiptment as interesting. Is anyone researching the Conelly family of Rome. They must have been friends as there are references to them in obit. Enough for now. Cherry McCurn MarcoBee@aol.com

Well Cherry, I looked but can't find a good map of Fonda's patent. From what maps I do have, it looks like that the patent covered Rome and Floyd numbered from north west at 1 and the lots went up in number as you go east to south. The map in the Town of Floyd bicentennial booklet shows that I live in lot 67 and that's on the east end of the plot. Camroden corners appears to be at the intersection of lots 51, 52, 64, and 65. I would suspect that 47 would be between the area of the corners and probably Wright Settlement. By the way that's Quaker Hill as in the religion not Quacker as in duck talk. :-) I'll keep my eyes open for a better map.

Cherry, I suspect the cheese factory was the Quaker Hill Cheese Factory and was located along the present Quaker Hill Road in the Town of Western. I've been researching several families there including the Cregos, Samsons and Hyzer Williams. I'd be very interested in the description of the equipment and who your ancestor bought the factory from. I don't remember running across the McCurns yet, but will keep an eye out for them.
