Good morning Trudy and List. I posted a query asking for research advice, but I thought I ought to get something in the archives with my names in the subject line. I am trying to find out who the daughters were of Henry and Olive Johnson of Hoosick. They were originally from Rhode Island, settled in Hoosick about 1800. Henry's brother Rufus was already living there at the time. They had two sons, Henry and Ebenezer, both of whom moved elsewhere as adults. They also had several female children showing in census records, but there was no will and no daughters were named in deeds. According to on line cemetery records, Henry and Olive are buried in the Johnson cemetery in Hoosick, along with his brother Rufus. Henry died 1836 and Olive died 1840. I'm trying to find out if my Olive Johnson Brown, who died in Northfield Mass in 1861, could have been their daughter. Her death listing in the Northfield town hall says that she was born May 11, 1795, father's name Henry Johnson, place of birth is very hard to read but it looks like Marsook, the state is definitely New York. There is no such place as Marsook, or anything close to Marsook. Somebody local suggested maybe they meant Hoosick,, so we looked in Hoosick and found this couple who are the right names and ages to be Olive's parents. Also there is a Rhode Island connection. Even though my Olive's death record says she was born in NY, her daughters listed their mother's place of birth as RI in more than one census. It just happens that this Henry and Olive Johnson in Hoosick came there from Rhode Island sometime between 1790 and 1800 (per deed records in RI that name him as being "of Hoosick, NY"). So it's very likely that these are the right parents, but I would like to find some local piece of evidence that they had a daughter named Olive. Does anybody know anything about this family? Trudy, I do not know what church they attended. Thanks very much Karen Worley **************New MapQuest Local shows what's happening at your destination. Dining, Movies, Events, News & more.
