This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/an/2RB.2ACE/8429.1.1.1 Message Board Post: Depending on when Chauncey died (and if you know where he died) the town clerk might have a death certificate on file. Copies might also be available from state offices in Albany. I am listing two links below that might help. One has searchable newspaper images on line. The other has info about interlibrary loans of old newspapers on microfilm. If you know when and where Chauncey died, you might find an obit or death notice. http://news.nnyln.net/ http://www.nysl.nysed.gov/nysnp/ The more info you provided to the mail list the more likely someone is to jump in with extra info or leads. Hope this helps - Russ Sprague Kensington, Maryland
