At least one family from Saratoga Co. (David A. See and his wife Abby Conklin d/o Isaac V. Conklin and Ann Andrews) went to Shiawassee MI ca. 1860. They joined Abby's father Isaac, as well as other relatives that had already been there since ca. 1845. These other relatives I've traced to Wayne Co. NY - they had never lived in Saratoga Co. as far as I know. Isaac Conklin's brother Nathaniel was an early (pre-1850) settler of Lapeer MI, and sure enough, Isaac's widow went there to live later, as did David and Abby by 1870. If anyone sees a connection to other families in this regard, let me know.

Fletcher Good to hear from you. I must say I almost cringe when someone has a BAKER (except the one who has a store with delicious goodies). I have done quite a bit of research on several Baker lines and my desire is to put all of those found in Saratoga and Washington Counties in to Family Tree Maker and see what comes out. It is so much easier to make comparisons of all of them when you can study the dates and names. One thing I want to point out to everyone is that before the present boundaries of Saratoga County, Easton in Washington County was part of Saratoga County and a lot of the families and allied families from the Saratoga are right across the river in Southern Washington County. The Baker's have a lot of connections across the river, so you need to search Washington County too. I haven't time to dig into a lot of this but just glancing at Sylvester's History of Saratoga County pg 280 is a picture of Hosea and his wife with a biographical sketch about him. It reads: Hosea Baker was born 23 Mar 1817, in the town of Half Moon, Saratoga County, NY. He was brought up in Malta, where as a boy, he followed various occupations, struggling against poverty, his chief employment being that of a farmer until the age of twenty-four years. Meantime he attended the common schools, and by self-application acquired the rudiments of an education. (skipped some here) At twenty-four, he settled in the town of Northumberland, where he purchased and improved the farm now owned by William J. Cook. In1849 he bought the Ostrander place, on Cold Brook, where he resided until 1853, in the mean time marying in 1851, Miss Marilla Baker, daughter of William Baker, Esq. of Northumberland. She died in 1853, about 16 months after marriage, and Mr. Baker sold his farm and purchased a place in Michigan, to which, whoever, he never moved but traded the place with Lewis Van Vechten for a farm on Cold Brook. In 1856 he married, Mr. Mary Ann Golden, daughter of Ezra Talmage of Owego, and settled on his farm. In 1858 he traded this farm for the Vanderwerker farm, where Sidney Thompson now resides in the Town of Saratoga. He also has another small fram near Stafford's Bridge in the town of Saratoga Springs. It does not mention his going to Canada so maybe that occured after this book was published 1878. To answer your question...A woman could own property in her own right, especially if she received it from someone like her father. There are quite a few places that you will find women with their own resources and some were very good business people and could handle money better than men. In some estates, the person who leaves an inheritance for a woman often leaves specific instructions that their husband cannot touch or benefit from this money. Until a woman turns 21, she would also have a Guardian assigned to protect her rights in an estate and her husband would not have any say in that dealings. This is also why you will find that a woman, usually widow and daughters, could have use of some portions of an estate until she married. This is why many ladies did not marry right away. When reading estate papers, read carefully these provisions for each person and you may find answers to where people are and why. Estate papers are my favorite and one of the very best sources of family information and to figure out their relationships. They give the actual residence for everyone involved so if you don't know the daughter's married name and where she moved to, this would be a great way to find her. When the kids have scattered into every corner of the world, this will list them and where they reside. Good hunting. God Bless Ruth Ann [email protected] From: "Fletcher" <[email protected]> To: [email protected] Subject: Roll Call: Baker, Sackrider, Petit Date: Wed, 26 Jan 2000 16:07:26 -0500 Message-ID: <[email protected]> There were lots of Bakers in Saratoga Co. My line has been difficult to research. Henry Baker was in Half Moon in 1790. His children included Christian (wife: Eve); Peter, Sarah, Thomas and William who married Anna Gleason and settled in Northumberland. Henry's youngest son was Hosea who married Sarah Golden and then "took off" for Ontario, Canada. Hosea's son settled in Saratoga Springs as did one of William's sons, Hiram Baker. Other given names associated with this Baker surname were Elmer Ezra, Daniel, John, Allen, Marilla, Haskell, Smith, Mary Elizabeth and Polly. and I have a Christian Sackrider who probably married Wealty Petit c. 1790. The 1800 census has a Christian in Half Moon. Christian is probably the one mention in Sylvester's History of Saratoga Co. as being a Captain in the 59th Regiment, Militia of Saratoga County after the Revolution until the War of 1812. He is also noted in that book as being a lawyer in Stillwater until 1800. Christian listed in the Albany Directory for the years 1816-1824 as an attorney. In 1824 his occupation was listed as: attorney, legal professions, counselor, supreme court and US court. His home/office was at 108 Beaver, Albany New York. Welthy Sackrider is in the 1820 census for Saratoga Springs, three females; 1 10-16, 1 16-26, 1 26-45. There was no Christian. Welthy Sackrider sold property in Saratoga Springs in 1823 to Clement Wilson of Saratoga Springs. How does a woman sell property without her husband unless he is dead and how can Christian be dead if he is in the 1824 Albany directory? I do need help on this one. Fletcher Bishop.

Dulcie Anna I have an Edward Flint JOHNSON born in Palmer, Mass, on 1771. He moved to NH. then VT. then to Saratoga Co. NY. and then on to OH. He had no brothers with the name, Samuel Isaac Johnson. But Ed. Flint's Father was Israel Johnson, and he had had several brothers. One brother Issacher Johnson born around 1750. Another brother of Israel and Issacher's was David Johnson. David was born in Worcester Co. MA. in 1757, and died in 1820 in Day Center, Saratoga Co. NY. He married Mary Joiner in MA. I have often wondered if more of the boys did not move into Saratoga Co. NY. I see several Johnsons in the area , and always looking for family names.

Hello everyone, Today seems to be NYSARATO-L Ancestor Day. Stillwater seems to be leading. That is where the Battle of Saratoga took place which was the Turning Point of the Revolutionary War...in historic Saratoga County, NY. We certainly have some great information out there. Keep it coming. Have you visited Saratoga County GenWebPage and checked everything? You know your ancestor could have lived in one township but buried in another township so check the other cemeteries. Maybe the people you can find are waiting to be discovered in the next cemetery and not in the town you thought/know. This is why we need to get volunteers to help us get the Durkee's Epitaghs up there. Durkee, and a couple of others, copied all of the cemeteries he could find in Saratoga County in 1875-1877and wrote it into 5 books. Nicely done with index. We would love to get it up there so all can see it when they wish. Many of these stones are long gone and the only source is his work. If anyone has a copy of History of Saratoga County, please consider looking up some of these people in the index and see if you can make some matches for those who do not have a copy. As you can see, some of our list people are from everywhere and their local library would not have a copy. Do we have any volunteers who have copies of any Saratoga books or resources? What is out there? In the Heritage Hunter newsletter which is about to go into the mail (Feb-Mar) will be the beginning of a series - Daniel Benedict's Diary. He kept this diary and logged in many local events and the dates. This is before any vital records were kept so this may be the only place you will find your ancestor's vital records and other things about some of them. Membership is $15 a year which includes 5 bi-monthly newsletters, a Surname Exchange Index with over 8,000 surname connections (not limited to Saratoga County) and four queries published in our newsletter each year. Keep those ancestors coming. God Bless Ruth Ann [email protected] ________________________________________________________________ YOU'RE PAYING TOO MUCH FOR THE INTERNET!

I am researching the family of William G. Collins and Anna Kirby Collins that resided in Charlton/Ballston, Saratoga County, NY. William was born in Ireland Oct. 29 1839 and died Nov 4 1898 (buried in St. Mary's Cemetery in Ballston Spa, NY). Anna was born in Dec. 1840 in Ireland. Her parents were Mary Leahy and James Kirby. The Kirby's immigrated to the US in 1850. William and Anna had 7 children: 1)Catherine Collins, b. 26 June 1870, d. 3 Nov 1950, m. Alfred Van Epps. 2) James R. Collins, b. March 20 1874, d. Dec 20 1879. 3) John Collins 4) Mary Collins 5) Sarah Collins, m. Walter Van Epps. 6) Timothy Collins 7) William G. Collins, Jr. Any connections to these folks?

Seeking a line on these Bakers. also: Adeline M. See (1852-1882) md. the Gansevoort Postmaster George Henry Pratt (1851-1915). His parents were John C. Pratt & Mary.
