Putnam County seems to be the site of the roadblock that has prevented all members of my particular branch of the Wixon/Wixom, etc., family from delving back further in time. It appears, from a family Bible, that my great-grandfather, Ward Wixon, was born in Putnam Valley in Dec., 1830, and the only documentation we've found as to his existence in the county at all is a listing in the 1850 census, in which he's listed as living with the James Barger family. And that's all we can document until, ten years later, he married my great-grandmother in Illinois. (If we knew more, perhaps we could connect our line with the other Wixon lines that are better known...) The fact that Ward was living with the Bargers fits in with family oral tradition which state that he was orphaned young and apprenticed to a shoemaker. But the stories -- and I cannot prove any of them -- make no mention of the names of either of Ward's parents. (One story says that he had a sister, who may have been named Sarah or Caroline; and another says that at a time when Ward was old (I suppose that could have been any time between 1885 and his death in 1920) he got a copy of a New York newspaper and, reading an obituary, supposedly said "That was my sister" -- after which he crumpled up the paper and threw it into the fire...). The only other story we have says that Ward's father died in some accident involving horses, and that his mother tried to keep the family together, until she died... It appears that something happened to embitter Ward to whatever relatives he left behind in New York, and he would never talk about his family. And so no one realized that his family was not known until after he had died...A lesson for us all, I suppose. Well, if any of this rings any bells for anyone, I'd be grateful for suggestions. Dave Wixon, of Minnesota.

I don't know when they married. The first child was born in 1834 so I would assume about that time? That would make her 30 years old for the first child. Isaac and Esther Brewer would be in the right timeframe as parents. Thanks for the suggestion. -----Original Message----- From: nyputnam-bounces@rootsweb.com [mailto:nyputnam-bounces@rootsweb.com] On Behalf Of WOLF6PACK@aol.com Sent: Friday, October 02, 2009 10:36 PM To: nyputnam@rootsweb.com Subject: Re: [NYPUTNAM] Roll Call-Brewer Isaac Brewer of Philipstown, b. abt 1788 m.

I am interested in identifying the parents of Daniel GAY of Southeast, Dutchess County, New York. He was born 1749 – 1752, perhaps in Connecticut, and he died 20 June 1812 in Southeast, Putnam County, New York. He married Sarah Kelly (31 March 1754 – 22 Oct 1847)between 1770 – 1774 in Southeast, NY.   I would appreciate any information on DANIEL GAY, my 5th Great-Grandfather, a Revolutionary Soldier.      

Do you have any connection to a Fallon family who lived in Columbia County (town of Canaan)in the 1850's and 1860's? They also arrived in the US in the late 1840's, may have spent a couple of years around Philadelphia and then moved to Canaan, NY. They then moved to Connecticut in the 1880's. -----Original Message----- From: nyputnam-bounces@rootsweb.com [mailto:nyputnam-bounces@rootsweb.com] On Behalf Of Karen A Kanning Sent: Saturday, October 03, 2009 11:15 AM To: NYPUTNAM-L@rootsweb.com Subject: [NYPUTNAM] Roll Call---Bride, Casey, Fallon, Ginley Researching John Bride who immigrated from Ireland 1848/49.

Hi Nancy, thank you for the reply. I am looking for James Smith... the needle in the haystack... James was born about 1760. He was a Loyalist at age 16, joining Cathcart's (New York Loyalist) Infantry. He was captured at the Battle of Cowpens in early 1781 and a prisioner until 1783. He married Catherine Southard shortly afterward in Albany ( I don't know if, at the time Albany was a city or a county) and by 1806 he was in New Berlin, Chenango County. I don't know if he had sons, but I think he had at least two daughters, Mary Jane and Hannah. Mary Jane married in 1806, in New Berlin, Jeremiah Dyer. Hannah married a few years later Frederick Vail. I know for certain that both the Vails and the Southards were in Dutchess County (Fishkill area) before Vail arrived in New Berlin. Jeremiah and Mary Jane (Smith) Dyer lived in Jefferson County, NY 1812-1814 and then in Lewiston, Niagara County, NY finally settling in Lockport, Niagara County. That's about it. Not much to go on.
