My husband and I are fortunate enough that we will be able to travel to mid-NY the first week of August, but it will be to 3 counties and time will be somewhat limited. I'm gathering everything I can so we won't waste a moment or regret not doing something at the last stop. Our major interest is Constantia where the CARRs and FRANCISCOs lived. William Taylor Francisco was a mason and lived in the town just a few years, just long enough to be on a federal census and for his first born to meet and marry Nancy Louise Carr, daughter of Francis and Phela Delpha (Heath) Carr, who arrived 1830ish and remained until Francis died 9 Nov. 1883 and is buried in the Trinity Episcopal Church there. His youngest daughter, Lydia Carr Roy, and her husband Joseph A. ROY, also died and I assume are buried in the same churchyard. Lydia A. Roy died 30 Dec. 1910 and Joseph died 11 April 1926. A grandson, Francis Peter or Peter Francis Francisco, remained with his grandparents or in the same area until at least 1892 when he was found on the Constantia census. By 1900 he was elsewhere. I've been to Albany and know the drill there for marriages, but this is rather early and I wonder where exactly in Oswego marriage records might be found? Would it be better to go to the town hall or the city courthouse...if there is one? From the looks of the church photo on the Constantia church site, I would say the church does not have records there, so where would they be kept? I see only a mailing addres for the historical society. I would like to visit it. Is there a way to meet someone to look at records? I have rented film from the FHC and did find some land records for the CARR family, but so few tidbits...selling of land, but not the buying of that land. Any guidance would help us on our brief visit. Shirley Maynard
