I know some of you noticed something new had been added to SAMPUBCO http://www.sampubco.com/cemetery/index.htm Right now, only the New York Gravestone Photo Project name lists at the moment, which will be updated monthly per county as needed. There will be other cemetery lists that are not of this particular project, particular the old lists which were recorded 1940s or before. The reason for the cemetery burial lists - they provide clues to where the probate records may be. The link to NY GPP is provided on each county page for quick search for full details and to see photos. To obtain photo, you need to contact the submitter for permission (they own the photos, not me, under copyright law.) W. David Samuelsen SAMPUBCO

Hi Dora, I stumbled across a marriage record for Betsey Keeney and Baruch Beckwith available on FamilySearch.org (Connecticut, Marriages, 1729-1867," index, FamilySearch (https://familysearch.org/pal:/MM9.1.1/F7GM-G6J : accessed 06 Oct 2012), Boruch Beckwith and Betsey Keeney, 25 Feb 1807; citing reference , FHL microfilm 3265). It states that Baruch (spelled Boruch) Beckwith married Betsey Keeney on 25 Feb 1807. According to the Barbour Collection of Connecticut Town Birth Records (vol. 3 pg. 106, available through Ancestry) that Betsey (Betty) Keeney was born on 19 Sep 1787 at New London, CT to William and Betty Keeney. Other records show that her mother's maiden name was Moore. The 1860 Census lists Betsey as having been born in New London, CT and Baruch as having been born in East Haddam, CT, their son William was born in Palmyra. Some of the records from Palmyra show that Baruch was a minister in that area for some time and that he was a merchant in the area as well. Landmarks of Orleans County shows that Baruch served as minister for a period of time at "Lakeshore" in what is now Carlton, NY. I don't believe there are any records for that church, or records that go back that far if they do exist. If you'd like more "solid" proof for Betsey's maiden name, I'd suggest checking William C. Beckwith's death certificate as it may indicate the name of his mother. He died 31 Jul 1905 at Albion, NY and is buried at Mt. Albion Cemetery with his parents. Their daughter Emma Eliza Beckwith Palmer died 5 Sep 1896 at Albion, NY and is buried with her husband Henry Palmer Sr. and her parents at Mt. Albion as well.

Hi Dora, This is Dee Robinson, I am a Reference Librarian for the Hoag Library in Albion and the Town Historian for the Town of Gaines. I think I have found Betsey's last name. At our library we have an online source called HeritageQuest online. (Perhaps you can find a library or community college near you who subscribe to this database and use it.) This database has census, local history and genealogy books and Revolutionary Soldiers databases. By using the Books database I searched for Baruck Beckwith and found a book called Biographical Review: Containing Life Sketches of Leading Citizens of New London, Connecticut. published in Boston, Mass. 1898. Baruck Beckwith is found mentioned in the biography of John William Keeney of Waterford, Conn. It tells that Mr. Keeney's paternal grandfather whose name was William was married four times. By his first wife he had four sons and one daughter. The daughter was Betsey and she married Baruck Beckwith. Also according to Ancestry Baruck was born @1782 and Betsey @ 1789. I hope some of this helps. I printed out the information on Betsey's family, if you send me your mailing address I can send it to you.

Sorry if this double posts; I posted to the Albion County board first, and it didn't come right through to the list if it eventually will. I am looking for confirmation of the identity of the parents of Elizabeth, wife of Rev. Baruch Beckwith. Rev. Baruch Beckwith and wife Elizabeth lived in Albion with their son, William, who was a merchant who in 1860 census was doing quite well for himself. Rev. Baruch Beckwith was a Baptist minister. He died Nov 10, 1869, in Albion. His wife, Elizabeth, died 2 Sep 1877, I am unable to discover where she died, but most likely in Albion or atleast she would be buried with her husband. I want to know where they married, where she lived at the time, and who her parents were. The 1860 census quixotically reports that she was born in New London, Connecticut. Ancestry says she was somebody who was supposed to have married someone else. Beckwith genealogy is poorly written and looks as poorly researched, and says she was the daughter of William Keeney and Betty Moore of New London, the woman who is supposed to have married somebody else. You'd have thought that in allegedly December 1806 (none of their descendants ever heard of citing a source), they married in Connecticut, but they managed to leave no record behind in Connecticut of the event. Elizabeth Keeney allegedly married hte somebody else in New York. No records ever exist in New York. It should not be hard to determine for a fact who Baruch Beckwith's wife actually was, and who she was not. But the resources are proving obscure. I can't seem to reach anybody in that town today who could tell me what and where they are. First, in what cemetery would most people in Albion have been buried 1869 - 1877? That list of cemeteries on the Genweb page doesn't even give a clue what cemeteries are where, let alone in which one in Albion most people were actually buried. Every community has one or two main cemeteries. Grave stone could have her full date of birth, which would quickly tell me whether she was the daughter of William and Bessie (Moore) Keeney of New London since I know her birth date, and cemetery records could include anything. Second, are death certificates available for this town for this time? If so, where would I send for them? Elizabeth Beckwith's death certificate had better give her birth date and her parents. Third, would there have been obituaries for these people, and if so, how would I find them? I'm having trouble connecting with the right person at quite possibly the wrong town library, and I can't make any contact at all with the county historical society. Now, this was a Baptist minister and his wife who died while living with a merchant son worth 4,000 and 6,000 dollars in 1860 - far more than the people around him. If obits were done on anyone these people should have them. Thanks alot! Yours, Dora Smith
