These are my Orange County, NY ancestors: PLEASE NOTE - critical information is from secondary sources and its credibility should be treated as such. However, several sources have been cross-referenced to determine the lineage's for TUTHILL and BEARDSLEY including research conducted at the archives of the OCHS. HAND/TITUS Lines: Elias HAND and Guin. WILLIAMS (b. in Wales - 1792), m. in 1811, bur. in Cornwall-on-Hudson Quaker Burial Grounds (Primary sources) John TITUS, son of Thomas, m. Eliza HAND ,dau. of Elias HAND (primary sources) Elizabeth TOWNSEND, dau. of William TOWNSEND, m. Thomas TITUS, son of John (descended from Robert TITUS through the Quaker lines). (Primary sources) BEARDSLEY/TUTHILL lines: Juliette BEARDSLEY, dau. of John WELLS BEARDSLEY, m. Darius ALLEN of Brooklyn, NY (descended from Samuel ALLING of Oyster Bay, LI). (primary sources) John WELLS BEARDSLEY, b. 3 Jul 1776, son of Dr. Ebenezer BEARDSLEY of New Haven, CT and descended from William BEARDSLEY (John, Ebenezer, John, John, Samuel, William), m. Elizabeth TUTHILL in 1806, dau. of John TUTHILL and Mary (or her sister, Anna) BULL. (secondary sources) John TUTHILL was possibly the son of John and Temperance SMITH, m. abt. 1752. (John, John, James (his sister was Freegift TUTHILL living in Orange County in 1734), "Chalker John", John, Henry and Bridget of Norfolk, England and Southhold, LI m. 1634). (secondary sources and a lot of detective work on my part to identify possible ancestry of John) Mary (or Anna) BULL was the daughter of John BULL and Hannah HOLLY. John BULL was the son of William BULL and Sarah WELLS as documented in the Sarah WELLS and William BULL book. This book shows my ancestry all the way down to Juliette BEARDSLEY and Darius ALLEN. Questions: Who was Ebenezer BEARDSLEY's wife? I have her first name as Martha and I suspect her last name was WELLS since their son was named John WELLS BEARDSLEY. Who were Temperance SMITH's parents? Temperance SMITH's son was John TUTHILL who married Mary (or Anna) BULL. Does anyone have more information on Ebenezer HOLLY? I would enjoy corresponding with other researchers, especially on the BEARDSLEY and TUTHILL lines. In researching the OCGS archives it appears that this possible answer to John TUTHILL's lineage has been overlooked in prior research. Is that true? I appreciate any critique of this possible line. Comparing notes can only make the research better. Thanks, Sue TITUS-MICKLEY
