In New York, villages are urban areas smaller than a city that have been incorporated, but remain part of the town they are formed out of. Towns are originally rural subdivisions of a county. If your Hezekiah Mead was a farmer, he would most likely not have been in Warwick village. ------------------------------ Message: 6 Date: Thu, 10 Jun 2010 23:13:54 EDT From: Goldsage@aol.com Subject: Re: [NYORANGE] Advice, please!

The town historian was my gold mind, although she passed away about five years ago. Also when I was working in that area, the Bellvale also seemed to be interchangeable with Warwick. Have you checked with the Orange County Genealogical Society in Goshen for more information? They have a wonder group of volunteers who do some fantastic research. I am forever in their debt and will be a life member. They are by far the best and most generous society I have worked with in N.Y. Here is their web site in case you haven't seen it. OCGSNY.org. There is a new book coming out that you might want to check on from OCGS. It's Orange County Jury Lists Volume One 1798-1825, by Kenneth Dunning. This might be a great tool in your research. I know I am going to order a copy. Sue Simonich In a message dated 6/10/2010 7:23:05 P.M.

To: nyorange@rootsweb.com Message-ID: <4C11BC7A.8070204@sinclair.net> Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1; format=flowed Sue, Thank you for both of your responses. I have contacted the OCGS for their help. I've been a member for many years, hoping to find a very elusive Joseph Smith who lived in the Orange County area and then moved to Elmira, NY where he died in 1846. I'll check with the town and village historians for Hezekiah Mead. I keep hoping something new will emerge! Thanks for your good advice!

Thanks! I recently discovered hat on HeritageQuest, they have armfuls of Ms Barber's typescript pamphlets from the 1930s-1940s online and download-able, 50 pages at a time. I DO NOT KNOW WHAT THE COPYRIGHT STATUS IS, as all these works fall with copyright protection. Perhaps she or her estate has given HQ permission, or because they are considered facts, which are not copyrightable, I don't know. When I get around to it, I plan to try to contact HQ about this. Anyhow, to get to HQ, ask your local librarian how to do this. You can access HQ from home, usually though your library's website - if they subscribe.
