This is the only line I have in St. Lawrence County, so I put it aside quite a while ago and never really bothered to use web resources as I was busy with other lines. The Cheney line is not a problem. It's my most direct, so to speak, because it continues to the present with my mother and her brother's family and was the first one I was interested in as a child because my grandmother talked of it a lot. Every Memorial Day, or "Decoration Day" as my grandmother called it, we'd go to Hillside Cemetery to put flowers on the graves there. I've got that family back to the first one in this country in the 1630s. Adelle was married to Charles William Cheney; his father was Charles Oscar Cheney which is why there are the two birthdates separated by 20 some years. I'm not sure where the Amelia A. comes from, although I guess it could be her real name. But my Great Aunt Ada always said she was named Ada Adelle after her grandmother and her father's first wife, Adelle Swem. I don't have a clue who Esther Cheney Day was, but will have to check with my mother because my Great Aunt Ruth Cheney was married to George Day, so there might be some relationship there. May have been George's grandmother. So again, thank you for all the help. Fowler apparently being born in New Jersey puts a new wrinkle on things since to this point all the lines on my mother's side have old North Country roots. Ah well, just more searching to do. =Bob Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
