Hi List, I am new to this list and from the beginning of the Oneida site, I found the town of Massena mentioned. Massena was part of Oneida County until 1802, do I understand? Then broke away to be in St. Lawrence County. I have been hunting for several years for the parents or siblings of my ggg grandfather, who was George B. Nelson, born 12 Sept. 1804 in Massena. His mother's maiden name was Boynton from VT. Father was from NY also. That is all I know. Would anyone be able to look in the Census records for around 1800 and 1810 to let me know if there were any Nelsons there at the time. Would be ever so grateful. Priscilla Varney, Waterville, Me.
