Regarding: Port Jervis Listing In 1853 Gouverneur Rainey (c 1829-1884)married Cornelia Torrey in the Dutch Reform Church (Montgomery) and in the church records Gouverneur home was listed as Port Jervis. I have not been able to find any other record of his being in PJ during his lifetime. In the 1850 census he was a farm laborer in Montgomery for the John S. Shafer family. By 1860 he was living in NYC and stayed there until c 1879 owing his own Banner and Painter business. He was listed in the 1880 census in Oneida, Otsego County with his second wife and 4 children listed as a portrait painter. PJ was such a small town in 1853 and some distance from Montgomery and Crawford (where Cornelia was from), is there any significance for listing it on the church records or could this be an error?

She is a possible sibling to my Isaac Moore. Nothing conclusive; that's what I am trying to find out.

I looked through microfilm at the Middletown library and couldn't find a mention of him, which I think is odd. I checked for the week following his 16 Sep 1893 death in the dailies and the next 2 issues in the weekly. I even checked this mailing list's archives to see that I wrote down the correct date. Although I found an item about a similar death in Trenton, NJ, plenty of other items for Port Jervis residents, even social notes from teensy-weensy Milford, PA, I didn't see anything about Elias' death. I looked at: Middletown Daily Press Middletown Daily Times Orange County Press I didn't look through the Middletown Argus as it's readily available online at ancestry.com and historical newspaper archive. I'll try to get to Port Jervis one day to look through the PJ paper, I just can't promise when.

Here's another resource: Port Jervis is geographically located in the overall Minisink Valley area. I mention this because the historical society local to PJ is the Minisink Valley Historical Society: http://minisink.org/index.shtml . They have burial records of the Cemetery's internees (not the headstones) - names, date of burial, plot numbers, etc. I have a copy of the Johnson page, myself. The MVHS has a small forum at it's site in which to enter queries. There's also a Minisink Valley mailing list on Rootsweb - it's very quiet and I don't know if anyone from the MVHS ever posts on it or not: http://lists.rootsweb.ancestry.com/index/usa/misc/misc.html#MinisinkValley ------------------------------ To contact the NYORANGE list administrator, send an email to NYORANGE-admin@rootsweb.com.
