Hello all - I just signed up on the lists for Schoharie and Otsego counties because I think I may have traced my family back to here and am hoping somebody can give me some pointers on where I can look for some good hard proof on people who lived here at the close of the 1700's and the early 1800s..... I specifically am looking for information on..... THOMAS GLOVER - who lived in Sharon, Schoharie Co. Cutter's genealogy says that Thomas had three sons, Henry, John and Jacob, and four daughters. I believe that one of the daughters may have been my ggg-grandmother Jane Glover Seelye born btwn 1800-1805. JOHN and HANNAH SEELYE - who lived in Worcestor/Decatur, Otsego Co. John looks like the best candidate to have been the father of WILLIAM SEELYE b. 1799. ISAAC SEELYE, Esq. of Cherry Valley also had a son named William, but it appears from census records that this son might be too young, and possibly died at a young age. My William married Jane Glover in the early 1820's and settled in Cortland Co, NY along with Henry and John Glover and their families. William Seelye was afflicted with amaurosia (blindness from disease of optic nerve) and stated on a census record that he had one brother and one sister who were also afflicted. HAINES family - who I just found in Sharon, Schoharie. My ggg-grandfather was Henry Haines, born @ 1808. Henry also lived in Cortland Co NY in 1830, then moved to Potter Co, PA in 1842, and on to Cameron/Elk Co PA sometime in the 1850's. Henry and wife Keziah had about eight children (seven confirmed, one suspected) who all stuck together and moved as a family group. One daughter, Rebecca b. 1831, married Simeon Seelye b. 1826, quite certainly the son of William and Jane Glover Seelye. Another daughter, Henrietta b. 1835, married Charnick Glover b. 1832, who is likely the son of either Henry or John Glover. Also found in Elk/Cameron Co is Charles Glover b. 1843, proven son of John Glover and well known to both Charnick Glover and Simeon Seelye as they were witnesses on each other's Civil War pension claims and are all buried together in the Glover family cemetery. I am greatful for any and all information on these families or any advice on finding records from the 1790-1830 timeframe in Schoharie and Otsego counties. Thank you Laura Bent
