Is there anyone on this list that lives near Pompey? I found in the land records that my 5th gr gr father David Campbell and his wife Cornelia sold some land in 1839. In the deed he says he has agreed to sell all but two rods were Sylvester S. Campbell is buried. I believe this to be his son. No vital dates listed. The land he sold was lot 61. Wondering if someone could look up the grave site if it still exists and get a picture and the dates for me. Willing to cover expenses. Lorilei
Lorilei, Good luck in finding a lot number in Onondaga Co. - I was doing research in Fabius & found a lot number that I wanted to find out where it was in Fabius... I found the information in the Onondaga Co. clerk's office, which seems to be huge (you think that someone would have this type of information), but after getting the run around from people, I was given the big impression that I couldn't find the information that I wanted there because the land record that I looked up "was too old". The people that were supposed to be experts in this area had no idea of how I could find out where Lot #47 in Fabius was located. The best thing to do is to probably find out if the Onondaga Co. Historical Society or maybe even the Onondaga Co. Public Library has old maps available that would have the lots laid out - I know that the Cortland Co. Historical Society has those types of maps. I just haven't followed through with it yet to see if Onondaga Co. has those types of maps. Good luck & if you find an answer (or if someone out there has an answer), I'd be very interested in it!
