Hello, I would like to hear from anyone who had ancestors in the Utica, NY area with any of these surnames. I have information on most of them back to the 1830's, with some birth dates reaching back to 1807 but possibly from other areas. Towns mentioned in my research, other than Utica, are Whitestown & New York Mills. Little Falls, NY in Herkimer County is also mentioned in relation to the Hands. Also, does anyone know if there is, or was, a town called Litchfield in NY? Jane A.
