Hello List: Are there records relating to school teachers in New Hartford that anyone can access or that you could direct me to.? Mary Fitzsimons, age 26 can be found in the 1870 census for New Hartford (dwelling 610) TEACHING SCHOOL. Mary went on eventually to to marry John Butler (Florence) and move to MO. (She was his 4th wife) Might there be any other records relating to her employment as a teacher - such as where she taught - when she started - where she was trained etc... ? Also her father Thomas Fitzsimons age 62 Farmer is head of household living with her and her step mother Catharine age 57. Catharine may have been married to a Barry before Thomas Fitzsimons (though she is marked in some census as his first wife) Patrick Barry is living with Thomas as the step son before his death in the Civil War. I also am wondering if Thomas died in New Hartford ? I can't find him on a cemetery list on the Oneida Caounty NY Genweb site. How complete is that ? This 1870 census is the last time that I can positively identify him in any census. They were Catholic I believe. As a reference for anyone with these names - Thomas' first wife, ( Mary's mother ), was Catharine O'Neil Fitzsimons who is buried at the Irish Settlement Cemetery in Newport, Herkimer County. Died 1848 age 36 (born in Ireland) I believe that Catharine is the sister of Mary O'Neil Dillon w/o Patrick Dillon. Their parents were Perry and Catherine (Casey or Lasey) O'Neil of Ireland.
