There was a clergyman in the Town of Onondaga in 1900 named W. Jarvis Mayles according to the transcription in the ancestry.com census index. The last name definitely begins with "May", it's hard to read the rest. -----Original Message----- From: Deanna Smith [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Sunday, November 28, 2004 10:48 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Vader-Howe I'm searching a Palmer family in Batavia, 3 children who were abandoned by their parents and given to W.

I agree with Muskrat Bay on 2 points: 1.) NY death records prior to 1900 are spotty: I have some [four] relatives who d. in Champlain Co. in the 1890's--a decade after records were supposed to begin--and none of them were registered with the NY Dept. of Vital Records. 2.) Many of the older NY death records I have received do NOT list the parents, even though that was a question that was supposed to be asked. I have had very good luck doing research at the Onondaga Historical Assoc. in Syracuse--they have lots of cemetery records, as well as family files, and newspaper abstracts. If you can't go there yourself, see if they will do a search for a fee or if you can hire someone to go there for you. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Knut W.

Bill and all NYONONDA listers. You can get free look ups just by going to "Random Acts Of Genealogical Kindness" Which I am a member. You can request all kinds of information. Here is the link to RAOGK web site. http://www.raogk.com/ All you have to do is click on link, then go to the country or state you are looking in, then click on county, and then pick a volunteer and send them your request. There are members in just about every place in the world. Barb

Death records were started in 1881, however, many areas really didn't follow that law until much closer to 1900. Many of the Death Certificates I requested prior to NYS raising the fee to $22 a piece for a Genealogy copy... did NOT contain parents names. Do more research before sending anyone money to try to order a certificate

If George Hutchinson was alive in the 1880 census and lived in New York, then his death record just may be in the NYS Dept of Health vital records. That kind of record typically names his parents and tells the state of birth.

Still looking for the above person. Possibly a descendant of Daniel Hutchinson and Persis Boggess. In the 1880 census his parents are identified as coming from CT. Had a sister named Chloe who may have been married to a Wilder and a Thomas at some point. He also may have had a brother named John and one named James. Where would I look for a birth record assuming the date and place of birth are correct? Can anyone help? Knut Barde

Sharon, I can't get an email to you. It keeps bouncing back. I want to tell you that I will be sending you the Printup Genealogy. Deanna

I found 10 copies of "The Printup Family in America 1695-1988", by Stephen Lawton, pub. 1989 at a second-hand store. I couldn't believe my eyes. I assisted Mr. Lawton in the investigation of the Printup family; the descendants of William Printup who resided in the Mohawk Valley and his son William, Jr. who was an Indian Interpretor for Sir William Johnson. I bought the books at $2.00 each! New! I am not selling them. I am offering them to any descendant. I'm contacting the Onondaga mailing list as I know that many on the Onondaga Reservation were named Printup in respect for William, Jr. I have 6 copies left. The first 6 responses will receive the books, but please, have a serious interest in wanting the book. Contact me at my email address. Deanna Smith [email protected]

James LEONARD of Pompey, Onon. Co., NY, left a will dated 10 Aug 1815, probated 2 Oct. 1815, in which he mentioned the 8 children of his deceased daughter, Eunice DRAKE: Rhoda, Eunice, Mary, Leonard, Keziah, Sarah, Lucy & Asa. He did not specify the given name of the father; however of the two DRAKEs in the 1810 Census for Pompey, Asa was married to Experience ESTY; only Alpheus would qualify. This is supported by the 1891 death certificate of Rhoda GOODELL in Allegany Co., which claims her parents were "Alfus DRAKE" and "Unus LEONARD." An Alpheus DRAKE married an Eunice LEONARD 9 Dec 1792 in Norton, Bristol Co., Mass., both were said to be "of" neighboring Easton, Bristol Co. James and Eunice LEONARD were also likely from Mass., specifically from Taunton, which borders Easton and Norton. In Taunton a James LEONARD and an Eunice SMITH married 25 October 1770. James is not in the 1800 Census for Pompey, Onon. Co., NY, but there are three James LEONARDs in the 1800 Census for Taunton, one of whom is of the proper family size and is living near likely in-laws. One problem: the Eunice LEONARD who m. Alpheus DRAKE in 1792 is said to have been from Easton, not from Taunton. In 1820 Alpheus DRAKE is no longer in the Census for Onondaga Co., but there is an Alpheus DRAKE in Orcean (Ossian), Allegany Co. There are also two Alpheus DRAKEs in Maine. All of these DRAKES seems to have come from Massachusetts. Does anybody have any specific information about the Alpheus DRAKE who married Eunice LEONARD? He appears in Pompey as early as the 1800 Census, and was no doubt in some way related to Asa DRAKE, who arrived a few years earlier. But how? Who were Alpheus's parents? When did he die? I presume that he remarried after the death of Eunice, since that was customary for a widower left with small children to rear. The Alpheus DRAKE in the 1820 Census for Ossian, Allegany Co., has a female, age 45 and over, in his household. And while I'm asking questions, does anybody know if James LEONARD, who only appears in Pompey in the 1810 Census, was related to Solomon LEONARD of the 1800 Census? Solomon's household is not large enough to have included James's, but they might still have been related. In 1810 Solomon is no longer in Pompey. __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
