Hi Listers, I am looking for a Samuel Ellis that lived in Otsego in 1815 and before I believe. His son Stephen R. H. Ellis was reportedly born in Otsego County New York in 1815 according to Bible records I obtained while in New York state in 2003. I have pictures of other Ellis' gravestone I took while in New York state this year and I am trying to tie those folks to my Ellis'. Any help would be very helpful. Thank You very much. Marilyn {Ellis} Sage

THE HISTORY OF SAUK COUNTY WISCONSIN 1880 published: Chicago: Western Historical Society SOME OF SAUK COUNTY'S ILLUSTRIOUS DEAD Page 436 JOHN C. YOUNG was born in Montgomery County, N.Y., November 10, 1790, where he lived till March, 1834, removed thence to Otsego County. From there he went in 1848 to Jefferson County, and in May, 1856, he settled on Section 5 in the town of Reedsburg, where he died on the 17th of February, 1878. Mr. Young was particularly illustrious in having been a soldier in 1812, and also a Mason of over sixty years' standing, having received all the degrees of the order obtainable in America.

Hi List, While poking around on eBay I noticed that there are 4 nice old Walrath photos from the Oneonta/Cherry Valley area. I think somebody on the list was researching that surname a while ago. I have NO connection to whomever is selling them. ( I continue to hope I will find photos of my ancestors) Dreaming on..... Nancy Q

Hi Everyone, Thank you so much for the information about the lists being down. It has to have been a coincidence that my e-mail got messed up at the same time. I thought I had it fixed, but when I didn't get any mail I was afraid it didn't work. Pat Raymond

Jan: Is that the same reason why the Historian updates are still not showing? Just in case they have gotten lost again, the Historians for the town of Plainfield and Burlington are as follows: Plainfield: Melinda Wadsworth 6867 County Hwy #18 West Winfield, NY, 13491 Burlington: Mark Wengert 164 Norton Rd Burlington Flatts, NY 13315 Thanks & keep up the great work, Leigh Leigh C.

I am having a hard time following some of the messages on this list. Where are the historian lists or updates? Is there an historian for (W) Exeter? Thanks.

My g-g-g-grandfather, James Van Voorhis, married Jane Magee in 1826 and they lived, died and were buried in Decatur, NY. I believe that Jane Magee is the daughter of John Magee and Rachel Walker. Her age and sex fits into the John Magee family of the1810 and 1820 Decatur censuses. Jane was born in 1806 and died 01 Dec 1890. I am trying to prove her relationship to John and Rachel. Is there a local paper that might have carried an obituary? Is there some place that has local death records without having to send to the state? Are there any county histories that might have mentioned them? I'd appreciate any suggestions that you might have. Thanks. Rita
