Searching for Watson Earl Sr & Jr. Their wife's and children. Thought I would mention that 'Earl names' are mentioned in the Beekman Patent information. Here is what was mentioned about Watson Earl. Watson-. lived Granville, NY in 1790 where he was at 1-2-1 between Daniel Earl and Benjamin Earl. He was born 1762 in Nova Scotia where he first enlisted and then moved to Cambridge, NY where he again enlisted. He served as a substitute for his brothers Nathaniel and Robert. He received 100 acres in Northeastern, NY as Land Bounty. He stated in his pension application that his older brother Jonas was age 88 in 1840 and lived at Onondaga Co. His son Nelson Earll of Otsego Co., NY stated in 1851 that his father had died leaving no widow but living children, not named. Watson Earll applied for his pension 4 July 1836 when living at Hannibal, Oswego Co., NY. Most of this I have gathered from other sources, including Watson Earl's Rev War Pension Application R3194. Thought I would mention another source of information. The Land Bounty mentioned in Northeastern NY, was land that various soldiers received as a result of service in the Revolutionary War. The land was so poor that not one soldier ever lived on that land. (According to my limited searching.) The land bounty documents was sold to others that was involved with land speculation. Also, according to the County populations of New York that area is (still today) low in population compared to other areas. Watson Earl's Rev War Pension was rejected. But the state of New York, authorized lands in the Beekman Patient area, where Hannibal Center is now. The lands in this Beekman Patient was presented by lottery. I have seen records where taxes was paid to Beekman, so I do not know for sure how this arrangement worked out. There is some legal proceedings of the Western New York Indians vs the state of New York, still in process, after 200 years. The Indian Tribe still gets their payment of salt from the state. They also I receive a sum of money divided up between each individual, it amounts to a small sum, in check form, that has been said to be used as wall paper, in some of the Indians homes. But that is another story of New York.

Dorothy: Thank you for the information about Thomas Sprague also of Watson Earl. This would have been Watson Earl Sr. I have 14 William Earl named people in my file. I will have to work out which one is mentioned. only two or three lived into the late 1800's Will have to look up the others you mentioned also. Thanks again James

Dear List, I have been given a book copyrighted sometime after WWII titled Honor Roll, a compilation of the men and women that served in WWII from Oswego. The book details their rank, a short synopsis about them, and a photo. The synopsis includes such information as when they entered the service, their assignments, employment and residence before entering the service, and their parent's names. Since there are too many to list here, I have done so in a Word document. If you should be interested in viewing this Word document please let me know. Then if you spot anyone that you would like a scanned copy of their photo and synopsis, I'd be more than happy to do so! The book also has a group photo of Company D (Oswego) of World War II. Men in the photo are as follows: Bacon, Spencer - Bethka, James - Boardway, John - Case, Joseph - Coniski, Richard - Cordean, August - Cusyck, Stanley - Flynn, Raymond - Gallagher, Fred - Gange, William - Haley, Herbert - Hart, Stanley - Haynes, William - Heagerty, John - Heagerty, Robert - Johnson, Howard - Joyce, Francis - Kimpland, George - Lakala, Stephen - Landry, John - Matott, Edmund - McIwaine, Fred W. - McKinstry, William - McLaughlin, Richard - Murray, Claire - Ouesnel, Vern - Pryor, Maynard - Ross, Anthony - Rowe, John - Sanford, John - Searles, Donald - Sheridan, James - Smith, John - Thompson, Walter Company D (Oswego) of World War I have photos with the following names: Bigelow, Richard - Bush, August - Bush, Pat - Champion, Marvin - Iverson, Ivy - Jones, Clarence - McIlwaine, Fred W. - Newstead, Robert - Riley, Joseph - Salvadore, John - Schiek, Oliver - Sheldon, Robert Sincerely, Laura Munski

Whoops--I didn't proof- read too well. The second census was supposed to be 1860. Sorry about that. Dorothy

Hi again: Another name you might want to pursue is "Millan Aiken" who in 1810 or 1811 built the first sawmill in Orwell. It was situated on the Salmon River above the falls. This is from "History of Oswego County". His was the only Aiken name I found there. Dorothy

Hi: I have glanced through a little of the book and see no reference to an Aiken, but I will look more. I also have the book "History of Oswego County", or some such title. I'll have to look at it to see what it says correctly. Anyhow, I typed in Ira Aiken and pulled up the following, and it might be your Ira. 1870 Iowa/Grundy/Melrose Twp, Ira F. Aiken, 57, b. N.Y., wife Lavinia 55, b. N.Y., Wallace 18, b. Wisc. and Ira 15, b. Wisc. 1870 Wisconsin/Winnebago/Winneconnie Twp. Ira F. Aiken, 47, b. N.Y., wife Lavinia 46, b. N.Y., Wallace 8, b. Wisc. & Ira 6, b. Wisc. I believe this is probably your Ira, as his birthday would have been 1813. then go to http://www.rootsweb.com/~nyoswego/biographies/brooks.html and read the whole thing. You will find some of your family in here. I don't know if you have ever seen this before, but nothing ventured, nothing gained. Also, if you haven't tried this, go to http://www.usgenweb.com , New York State, Oswego County, Search Engine and type in Aiken. There are two other references to Aiken beside the one above. I'll look more in Hannibal Historical Highlights and the Oswego book I have. The later book covers the whole county. Dorothy, Gator Country Gainesville, Florida

Hello Dorothy, Could you look in your wonderful book of Hannibal's Historical Highlights to see if there is reference to an Aiken. He married Anna Bennett (1805?)and they had my great-grandfather Ira F. Aiken (1813) but I have never found the name of Ira's father. They lived around Orwell and Hannibal. His name may come up somewhere, sometime. Thanks. Marillyn Aiken [email protected]

Hi Jim: I am the proud owner of the original Hannibal's Historical Highlights by Gordon W. Sturge (who happened to be my history teacher at Cato-Meridian High School back in the dark ages). My sister found this book for me at a garage sale up there for .50. The one thing this book does not have is an Index. Maybe someday I will make an index-- good idea anyway. From the book, page 11,"The first white settler within the present limits of the town of Hannibal was Thomas Sprague, who came from Massachusetts in 1802. He located on the south line of the town on lot 95, built the first house, which was, of course, a log one, and likewise made the first clearing. The first marriage was that of Daniel Thomas and Prudence Sprague in 1803. Carr Sprague, born in 1805, was the first white child born in the town. The first death was that of another child, a daughter of Thomas Sprague, in 1806. During the years 1803 and 1804 the Sprague family seem to have been the only inhabitants of the present town. In 1805, however, a number of settlers arrived, prominent among them being Watson Earl, Joseph Weed, Israel Messenger, David Wilson, Samuel Barrow, Sterling Moore, and Orren and George Cotton, all of whom located at Hanibal Center. Being a millwright, Orren Cotton, in company with Watson Earl, built there, about 1806, the first grist mill in town. He was a lineal descendant of Dr. John Cotton, the great Puritan preacher of Boston. Samuel Barrow was one of the first surveyors." Page 14 "Among other prominent residents were ------William Earl, Page 33, "Early Hannibal Industries and Directory in 1866-67, Dress Makers and Milliners--Helen Earl, Stone and Brick Masons-- Edwin Earl There are no biographys, per se , in the book . The author was a little remiss . Dorothy  

THanks to all of you for showing "both" sides of the coins. It let's us see things differently, and has really helped me broaden my thinking. Thanks again, Carole Murphy

Lauren I could disagree with you about our ancestors paying to disclose information - at least in the census. Census takers went around - did not require people to go anywhere to given information. And the federal census was not for taxes, it was for apportionment of legislators. But that could be a long philosphical debate on the role of the government, etc. Should the government provide more free services? if so, it will take more taxes. There is no free lunch; somebody must pay. There may be merit in more services for more taxes, but the present populace of the US seems to be opting for the opposite, which has a different kind of merit. Instead, I would rather point out that you would not be paying for the data. You would paying for someone to extract, organize, and provide that data to you. Should these people (not government workers at ancestry.com) donate their time to you and everyone else? If they should donate their labor, what is their incentive for performing that labor so that the information is available? And if looking in a government office, is it incumbent upon the rest of the taxpayers to pay for the government employee to take time and effort to locate and provide data that is to benefit to you and not the rest of taxpayers? I am sympathetic to your disability and lack of funds, but that hardly changes the principle of paying for someone's labor. So I think your complaints are off base. Having said that, there are "volunteers" who will provide free help, who will donate their time, and sometimes expenses, to provide people with information they want or need. They do their best work when they are not approached with an attitude that someone is "entitled" to free help. Many RootsWeb county lists have volunteers; the Oswego list is relatively small and may not. But if there are volunteers, they often get considerable numbers of requests. They cannot necessarily turn things around very quickly. One lady I know (another list- CA) has to drive 30 miles to town to go through records for other people. She does not do this every day; she does it about every two weeks. She is doing it free, but she still feels guilty when she goes on vacation and cannot get to things for a month and a half. The LDS folks have a number of volunteers, more perhaps at Family History Centers than on-line. Their time is normally donated, but the LDS church provides support for genealogists simply by obtaining, organizing, and housing data. That really means that the LDS members who support the LDS church are paying to help out both LDS and non-LDS genealogists. Let's be nice, not demanding and whining, to these people or they may stop helping. I cannot remember, and do not have a record of, one of the widest volunteer groups' URL. But if you search for "random acts of kindness" and "genealogy" you'll find a lot of people in a lot of places who help others. Some may have ready access to census records; some probably pay their own money to subscribe to ancestry.com so they can help others. And one or another has some kind of access to an amazing array of information in different places. Try them out.

Lauren, This may help you and others. I found it in the Sunday paper. For records fro Onondaga County Surrogate Court, go to: >http:surrrogate5th.courts.state.ny.us/public/< Basic information on records can be viewed with general access to the site. To view documents, users must register for a password. Any document filed in the Surrogate Court case filed after court action has been initiated is available. A will on file while a person is still alive would not be on the site, but a will accepted by the court for probate after a person's death would be available. Also available would be any documents filed in a case as a result of court action, such as an order granting a person the right to act as an administrator for an estate and any documents relating to a battle over a contested will. I too, am on a fixed income and did use, contribute to and enjoy the genealogy sites when there was no charge but I cannot afford the fee that they now charge. Betty

I don't know how many Family History Centers have it, but ours in Oakland, Calif, has available to library users a subscription to Ancestry & to Genealogy.com.

Bits and pieces of my search for Watson Earl Sr. & Jr. Also spelled as Earll and Earle depending on the documentation. ----------------------------------- The following Excerpts was copied from Oswego New York roots web. ----------------------------------- excerpt from: Descendants of FRANCIS SPRAGUE Daughter of Frances Sprague: DORCAS SPRAGUE, b. Unknown; d. Unknown; m. "RALPH EARLE", October 26, 1659 (Source: Marilyn Owen); b. Unknown; d. Unknown. Marriage Notes for DORCAS SPRAGUE and RALPH EARLE: Dorcas and Ralph settled in Dartmouth, MA. On October 26, 1659, he (Francis Sprague) deeded land to his son-in-law "Ralph Earle" of Rhode Island. (if the dates are right the land was a great wedding present) ------------------------------------------------------------ excerpt from: A BRIEF HISTORY OF HANNIBAL, NY It is generally believed that the first settler in what is now the Town of Hannibal was Thomas Sprague, Sr., a Revolutionary War veteran who brought his family from Connecticut in 1802 to settle near Bethel. In 1805, other settlers located at Hannibal Center. Among these were Orren Cotton and "Watson Earl", who in partnership constructed the first grist mill in the area. ------------------- excerpt from Hannibal history site. HANNIBAL was formed from Lysander, as a part of Onondaga co., Feb 28, 1806, and embraced all that part of Oswego co. lying W. of the river. Oswego and Granby were taken off in 1818. It is the N. W. corner town of the co. Its surface is gently undulating, the ridges being 30 to 50 feet above the valleys. In the E. part are several swamps, one of which covers 500 acres. The soil is a rich, sandy and gravelly loam. A salt spring, from which salt has been manufactured, is found in the N. W. corner. Springs of brine, characteristic of the Medina sandstone strata, have been discovered in several other localities, but none of sufficient strength to render their working profitable. The principal manufacturing establishments are those of leather, lumber, and the products of wood.1 Hannibal, (p.v.,) on Nine Mile Creek, a little W. of the center of the town, contains 3 churches and about 60 houses; Hannibal Center (p.v.) contains 20 houses; and Hulls Corners (South Hannibal p.o.)18. Wheeler Corners is a hamlet in the N. part, and Kinneys Four Corners is a p.o. Settlement was commenced in 1802, by Thomas SPRAGUE and his sons, from Milton, Saratoga co.2 The first church (Bap.) was organized in 1815.3 1. There are 18 sawmills, a stave factory, 2 gristmills, and 2 tanneries in town. 2. "Watson EARLE", Samuel BARON, Joseph WEED, Sterling MOORE, David WILSON, and Israel MESSENGER settled at Hannibal Center in 1805. ----------------------------------------------- Comments: Watson Earle is the 2nd great grandson of Ralph Earle Watson Earle is the 3rd great grandson of Francis Sprague (Board Ann 1623) This Watson Earle, is the Watson Earle Sr. that I am looking for names, of his wife and children. also any dates, places ect. It intregues me that I cannot find a bio for an original settler of Hannibal (Watson Earle). If there is a bio I cannot find it.

Looking for information about Watson Earl Sr. & Watson Earl Jr. the names are mostly spelled Earl & Earll for this family. See prior E-Mails the last few days to this forum for additional information. I am including the information I have For Watson Earll Jr. here. The last E-mail was of Watson Earll Sr. -------------------------------------- 1. Watson Earl Jr. was born about 1794 in, Onondaga, New York. He died before 2 Aug 1839 in, Oswego, New York. Watson was counted in a census in 1820 in Hannibal, Oswego, New York. He was counted in a census in 1830 in Hannibal, Oswego, New York. BIOGRAPHY: ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Administration on the estate of Watson Earl Jr. was granted to Grace Earl and Almiran Earl, 2 August 1839. (Oswego Co. LofA B:105) (I do not have the detail information regarding this note) Watson married Grace (Just a guess). Grace was born about 1796/1800 in, New York. Grace was counted in a census in 1850 in Hannibal, Oswego, New York. Living with A. Earl, She was counted in a census in 1870 in Hannibal, Oswego, New York. Living with Selkirk Earl. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This census is for one of the sons of Watson Earll Jr. Federal census 1850, Hannibal, Oswego, New York Dwelling 412, Family 444 Name, Age, Sex, Occupation, Birthplace A.

Grace Earl age 70, female, white, unidentified occupation, birthplace New York. On the 1850 census Grace was listed as 54 years old. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Note: I am assuming that Grace Earl was the wife of Watson Earl Jr. The two boys listed below Grace on the 1850 census may be her sons Selkirk and George. On the 1870 Census for Selkirk Earl, Grace was listed as living in his household, adding more foundation to my thought, that Grace Earl was mother to Selkirk Earll, and the wife of Watson Earl Jr. -------------------------------------------------- The Children to This Watson Earl Jr. is as follows, Problem, all are not verified children, execpt for Almison Earl (Earll) Almison and Grace was mentioned in the administration of the estate of Watson Earl (Earll) Jr. 1.
