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 .

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.

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.

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.

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 --------------------------------- Do you Yahoo!?
