In the John Stillwell book (or any other one someone has), is there some info on Oneida County residents? My ancestor John Parker and his children Leonard (born in Oneida in 1802), Asa, David, Thomas, and Edith-Ede lived there from the early 1800s unItl they moved to Ohio sometime before 1826. John lived in Cummington, MA before that. Thanks!

This is an example of the old saying that "haste DOES make waste!" I rushed that off when I saw that more town histories in New York - especially Oneida - were available! William Saltar (1757-1853) moved to the area in around 1802. A source said that he was an officer in the U. S. Bank in Utica, but they have no record of that. His son-in-law - Benjamin Walker - aide and adopted son of the Baron von Steuben was the president. My source (HISTORICAL AND GENEALOGICAL MISCELLANY by John Stillwell) also said that in 1796 the condition of the Indians was so unsatisfactory that Joseph Saltar (Wm.'s father) was with others appointed to attend to the lands assigned to the Indians. Wm. Saltar and two other men were appointed commissioners to sell their lands. I haven't found that anywhere else, either! <BR><BR><BR>**************************************<BR> AOL now offers free email to everyone.

John Hughes [1834-1919] and Susan Jones [1838-1917], (my 2 great grandparents), came from North Wales. They had several children, among them being Edwin Hughes [1860-1931], the justice of the peace in Barneveld, NY. Jennie Hughes, the youngest, married Howard MacIntosh. They ran a big lumber yard in Barneveld ( MacIntosh & Jepson), and lived just across Mappa Avenue from Edwin Hughes' home. John Hughes sold the plot of ground on which the library stands. Happy searching, Jan Jordan <jnrose@webtv.net> <Sarah Salter Mappa of Trenton/Oldenbarnveld...Alice> ------------------------------ To contact the NYONEIDA list administrator, send an email to NYONEIDA-admin@rootsweb.com.
