Thanks for the link! I may have found the Ives family that I am looking for using the links you provided below. However, there are three daughters of Lazarus Ives and his wife Lydia Gremes that are not named. Can anyone help identify their daughters? "The Troy branch of the Ives family descend from Lazarus Ives, who was born in Wales, 1733, died in Sand Lake, Rensselaer county, New York, 1812. He came to America when a young man in company with his brothers, John and Benjamin. Lazarus settled in Connecticut, but before the revolution removed to New York, settling at Sand Lake, where he leased several hundred acres of ground, engaging in farming and stock raising. He prospered, became a large owner and the founder of a numerous and influential family of the county. His wife, Lydia Gremes, died 1824, aged eighty-three. She bore him sons: Lazarus, Christopher, see forward, and three daughters." Can one of these daughters be Betsey Ives (b. 1797 in Sand Lake, NY) who married William Simmons (b. 1796 in Troy, NY) in Sand Lake, NY in 1815? Thanks for your help! Happy Thanksgiving!
