Sure Lynn, I'd like to volunteer, but am half way across the country now. I'll be back later on in the year, though. If you or someone else can think of how those of us who are out of state can help, please let us know.

Am searching for any documentation relating to Daniel Watkins b. abt. 1809 in Renssalaer County. He appears in Essex County NY on the 1840 census and lists birthplace and date as above. He married Jane Chamberlain in 1837.....she came into Washington Co. NY shortly after her birth in 1813. Don't know if they married before coming to Essex Co. Need parents of Daniel, date and place of marriage to Jane. Jane and her family came from Westmoreland, Cheshire Co., NH. There were several Watkins families in Cheshire County at that time also. Can anyone help?
