Hi, Gwen in WA State, Would you do me a favor, please, and post to the list if you receive any replies to your question about reaching the church at Candor in Tioga Co.? I have g grandfather born there, and possibly married there. I've been intending to start trying to find addresses for churches there, although I'm not sure what denomination. I think a Protestant one, but I don't know which. Possibly Episcopalian, as that's what most of my family/ancestors seem to have been, and that's the church that I was brought up in, but that's just a guess. I have to admit, though, that getting any info may be a problem, after reading your letter! Did they (the church) cash your check? I sure hope that's not their normal attitude about inqueries! Thanks a lot! Barbara in MO (but originally from NYC)

Surnames: Troy/McAllister Classification: Death Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/3RB.2ACE/359 Message Board Post: My great great grandfather came from Ireland around 1852 and lived with his son John Troy in Spencer, N.Y. His name is Hugh Troy and he appears in the 1860 US census as living with John Troy, Spencer, N.Y. with age listed as 65 years old.He does not appear in the 1870 census so may have been deceased by then. Hugh would have been born about 1895 in Ireland. Hugh may have lived in Danby,N.Y. with a son but this is not factual. Around 1884 John Troy moved to Tompkins County building a house there on what is now the Troy road, and Hugh does not appear in any pictures or data from that time period. John Troy also had a son and grandson named Hugh Troy which I have all data about. I am looking for the death date, & place of death and burial for Hugh Troy Father of John Troy and any help would be appreciated.
