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
