I really thought I was on the right track being that there was William Bacon and Alexander Ploof--spelled ploff--living by each other in 1840 Brasher, St Lawrence--guess not. I still have a shot with William. In 1830 Louisville, St Lawrence there is a William Bacon spelled-Bason with 2 daughters under 10. He is listed in the 30-40 age range with wife 30-40. William and Virginia's oldest daughter isn't born until abt 1831. Adeline is born abt 1822 so it could fit. Adeline Bacon married Alexander Ploof about 1844-45. By 1850 they are living in Adam, Jefferson, New York. They left for Michigan sometime after 1850. It looksl ike I need to find marraige records. Is there a way to locate that marriage its got to be either Ogensburg, Oswegatchie or Adams, New York. That other William Bacon I was reasearching is living in Oswegatchie and is from Ireland. All of Adeline's census records indicate that her father is from New York. sometimes the Ploof name is spelled Plouffe In 1850 New York Genealogical Records, 1675-1920 Rochester, New York. There is a Alexander Ploof listed as a Moulder. All the Ploofs in this family are moulders. I'm not sure if this is the Alex married to Adeline Bacon or Alex's father. Again thank you for looking that up for me Mike Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
