I agree!

I am not in favor of giving away my families data to anyone I suspect is specifically intent on sell it, i.e.: has a business whose direct or specific intent is to make money on other peoples research and personal history. -----Original Message----- From: NYOSWEGO-D-request@rootsweb.com [mailto:NYOSWEGO-D-request@rootsweb.com] Sent: August 10, 2006 12:00 AM To: NYOSWEGO-D@rootsweb.com Subject: NYOSWEGO-D Digest V06 #117

Blankman Family Connections Thursday, August 10, 2006 By Janet Clerkin Contributing writer With the publication of "Adirondack Characters and Campfire Yarns," the North Shore connections to the Blankman family have come full circle. The family lived in Constantia off and on for about 100 years, moving to St. Lawrence County during the 1920s. In the book's dedication, author William J. O'Hern writes that the much of the material is the result of Lloyd Blankman's "efforts to honor Adirondack pioneers and woodsmen. This book would never have crystallized without Lloyd's initial research and his son Edward's passion for all things Adirondack. For that, I thankfully dedicate this book to Lloyd and Edward Blankman." According to Edward Blankman, a retired English teacher and retired school librarian who lives in Adams, the Blankman family left Holland after the Napoleanic Wars and settled in Hastings around 1820. The family had a prominent presence in Oswego County and an enduring interest in writing. Edgar Blankman, Lloyd's father, taught in one-room schoolhouses in Constantia and Hastings, and was a well-known cartographer. He made several detailed wall maps of towns and counties in northern and central New York, and in 1889 made a large wall map of Oswego County. The maps were sold to attorneys to hang in their law offices and to the one-room schoolhouses scattered across Oswego County. Perhaps his most interesting achievement, however, was Edgar Blankman's publication, in July 1906, of a novel set on the north shore of Oneida Lake entitled "Deacon Babbitt." The family moved to St. Lawrence County and lived in Canton for a time, before returning to Oswego County. Edgar Blankman died in 1924 and is buried in the cemetery in Cleveland. His son, Lloyd, attended school in his early years in Constantia. He graduated from Fulton High School in 1921 and from St. Lawrence University in 1927. Lloyd Blankman became enthralled with the history of the Adirondacks after reading Harvey Dunham's classic, "Adirondack French Louie, Early Life in the North Woods" published in 1952, according to Edward Blankman. He became close friends with Dunham and shared Dunham's fascination and reverence for the self-reliant characters and haunting landscape of the southern Adirondacks. Lloyd Blankman traveled tirelessly through Herkimer and Hamilton counties, and "had no compunctions whatsoever about going to various places" to capture stories from old-timers, said Edward Blankman. Many of the stories were published in Lloyd Blankman's newspaper column, "Adirondack Characters," in the Clinton Courier newspaper during the 1960s and early '70s. Lloyd Blankman also wrote for "North Country Life," "Forest and Stream" and "New York State Tradition" magazines. In the introduction to "Adirondack Characters," Edward Blankman writes, "My father was very enthusiastic in his love for this history of the North Country. He visited every place that he ever wrote about, and he enjoyed talking with as many people as he could find who could recall the 'Golden Age of the Adirondacks'. . . My father and I visited with many people on our own forays into the woods in the 1950s and 1960s. He would never fail to come home with some special memento that he had bought or that someone had given him. It might be part of the roof from one of Louie's camps or a campstool that the hermit had made . . ." After Lloyd Blankman's death in 1973, the Blankman family donated many artifacts to the Adirondack Museum in Blue Mountain Lake, including French Louie's hunting knife and fishing spoons. "I thought Jay O'Hern did an excellent job," said Edward Blankman. "He kept after me for years and years and said he wanted to write such a book. I let him take all the information I had. Roy Reehil did a fine job of organizing the material once Jay had sent it to him," he added. Lloyd Blankman's father, Edgar, Lloyd, and Edward are all published authors. Edward Blankman writes a monthly column under a pen name for the Watertown Daily Times.

What does it matter if people ask for data on people who may or may not be related to them. Good researchers MUST NOT have tunnel vision. One frequently needs to study neighbors, family of the spouses of a sibling, etc. to make progress. One never knows when clues will turn up. Then there are those families with similar names to one's own family that may connect down the road. Frequently one might want to add some of these families unlinked to their database and later they should not be surprised if a few years down the road they turn out to be related. Our modern genealogy programs have the capacity to hold a million or more names. Anyone who wants to make progress should branch out from their own direct line. I routinely work on typing entire books into my database for specific locations or containing surnames of people that have a direction to a direct or collateral line. I then share this at WorldConnect. Interestingly enough out of a database of 140,000+ hand entered names (not a collection of names from gedcom files) about 132,000 of them are linked to everyone else in the database. Some of us do every name research for a particular time and place. That can be very helpful to the wider genealogical community. Good research is worthwhile to do and good to share no matter whether or not what one researches is their own line. The fun of this hobby is in the chase no matter whose family it is and where it leads.

There was a Lee Wybron and his wife Minnie who lived next door to us in South Gtanby. I even have a photo of the couple. Many residents of that era buried their families in Jacksonville Cemetery up the road in Onondoga Co . They probably attended grange in Jacksonville and attended church in Little Utica. Have you looked in the old newspaper online for their name from the Fulton Patriot. ? Bet you find dtuff there.

Dear Delna, 1895 LANDMARKS OF OSWEGO COUNTY, NY FAMILY SKETCHES Wybron, Mrs. Eliza (Incledon), of South Granby, is the widow of the late John T. Wybron. Both she and her husband were born and reared in Devonshire, England, where they were married in 1840, and where two of their children were born. They made a home in Canada for four years, and came to Granby in 1850. Mr. Wybron was a blacksmith by trade. During the last two years of the Civil war he was at the front, receiving an honourable discharge in 1865. He died in 1871, aged fifty-four years, and his widow continues to reside on the farm in Granby, which is operated by her son, John S., whose wife, Mary, died in 1885, leaving one son, Frank A. Mrs Wybron has been the mother of fifteen children, of whom ten are now living. She has twenty-four grandchildren and three great-grandchildren. Now seventy-three years of age, she is still erect and vivacious with faculties little impaired by time. __________________________________________________ I found this under rootsweb for Granby. There is also a nice school picture of Lucy Wybron there. I could not find any cemeteries for Granby online. I checked ancestry.com and rootsweb.com Eliza is listed as a widow in 1880 so John must have died prior to that date. I have the 1875 census for Oswego county at our local FHL. I will check and see if I can find them.

Hi Ed None look familiar to me. Doug Groner

Orson M. Briggs, the first child of James B. Briggs and Polly Tyler White was born ca. 1843, in Sandy Creek, Oswego County, New York. In 1850, Orson M. Briggs was living in Sandy Creek, Oswego County, New York, with his parents, and step-brothers. His father died in 1854 and we have been unable to locate him or his mother in 1855 as yet. In 1860, he is living with his step-brother, Daniel White, and Daniel's wife Lucy Jane Rowbotham, along with a child, Polly M. White and a hired hand, Robert Rowbotham, age 21, a brother of Lucy Jane Rowbotham from New York, still in Sandy Creek, Oswego County. We believe Orson M. Briggs died in Minnesota. He married Elizabeth Unknown Abt. 1864 in New York. She was born Abt. 1844 in New York. Orson and Elizabeth are found in 1880 in Graham Lake, Nobles County, Minnesota, where Orson is farming and Elizabeth is a homemaker. Willie Briggs, the son of Orson M. Briggs and Elizabeth Unknown was born ca. 1865 in New York. If you have any connection to this family, I would like to hear from you. John@Sissom.org John D.

Dennis White Dennis White, the third child of Amasa Daniel White and Polly Tyler was born ca. 1826, place unknown. In 1830 he is living with his parents in Sandy Creek, Oswego County, New York. Either Dennis or Daniel White is not with the family in 1840, and we prefer to think that Dennis is the one who is not living with them at that time. In 1850 we are a bit more certain, for his name is not among those listed. In 1860, Dennis White is living in Monroeville, Lynn Township, Huron County, Ohio, and has Amasa White, Jr., and Lydia, his wife living with him, as well as a child which could belong to Dennis by the name of Elaine White.
