My ancestors were William and Cornelia Denning who had several children, including my gr-gr-grandfather George Denning who was born in 1830. He and his brothers became masons so they apparently learned the trade in Tioga, where they seemd to have lived for 20 years before moving to Odessa, Schuyler Co., NY. Thanks for any help.

I still haven't determined his father, but I found Abram and his family starting in the 1850 census (he was indexed under Alvin and Alviron). He was in Deerfield and Osceola, PA. I found that he actually had several children: Eli (abt 1825) Ebenezer (1830) Salley (abt 1832) Nathaniel (abt 1833) Betsey (abt 1837) John (1840) Mary E (abt 1842) Jacob (abt 1845) Jane (abt 1847) Susannah (abt 1849) If anyone has any information on any of his children as well, I'd appreciate it. Thanks everyone.

What courthouse department would have records of a hearing to determine if a person were a "lunatic" in 1892? I have a copy of a summons for a witness to the hearing to be held in Owego. I'd like to learn the outcome. Also I'd like to see who were the other witnesses called to testify. Lee Kinnan Fazzari
