This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Surnames: Scott, Johnson, Steevens, Hurd Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/an/3RB.2ACE/215.1.1 Message Board Post: Was researching my family history and tied into the Johnson family from the Scott side ( my grandmother was Beulah Scott who was married to Gerolomo "Jerry" Molteni -Beulah was the daughter of George Scott, 1856-1930). The mother of George Scott was Irene Johnson (b.1820 - ?) who was the daughter of Wait Johnson (1789-1868), son of Elisha Moses Johnson. I have alot of information on the Elisha Moses Johnson connection and also lineage back to Robert Johnson (b. abt 1612 in Yorkshire, England) if you are interested. Here are some highlights of Elisha Moses Johnson: Elisha Moses Johnson was a soldier in the Revolution. He enlished in 1782 and served nine months, as a private in the company of Captain A. Moody, commanded by Colonel Lamb, in the New York Line. He was present at the surrender of Lord Cornwallis at Yorktown. In his application for pension, dated Febraury 11,1823, he gave his age as six-one years, indicating he was born in 1761 or 1762. At the time of his enlistment he appears to have been living in or near Litchfield, Connecticut. He was discharged at WestPoint, New York, and may have settled farther up the Hudson, since according to the Census at least two of his children were born in Columbia or Greene County. About 1807, he came with his wife and probably six children (see Census 1810) to the vicinity of Weltonville, New York, until 1811 in the Town of Spencer (now Candor), Tioga County. Both he and his wife were living in 1823, when his pension was granted, but no later record has been found. However, a great-granddaughter, Miss Ella Hart, remembers hearing her mother state that, when she herself was a child, her grandmother used to come visiting on horseback, from somewhere to the east. In his pension application, Elisha Moses Johnson stated that he had no real estate, that his personal property was worth only $25.70, and that he "had no children to support him." It is worth noting that to date (1952) at least eight of Elisha Moses Johnson's descendants have followed his example ofmilitary service: 1 - War of 1812 7 - Civil War 2 - Mexican Border Campaign, 1912-1915 10 - World War I 60 - World War II Of these, nine perhaps ten, died in the service.

Hello List. I have a copy of the 1924 Owego Directory which lists street addresses for residents, both owners and renters ,and their occupations. It also lists businesses of the Town . If anyone would like a look up I would be happy to try to help them. I am looking for Mathewson's living in Owego at that time. There are at least three families listed in the Directory. My father cannot tell which ones are his great grandparents. Does anyone subscribing to this list know who the parents Of Lottie and Mary Mathewson were? My father remembers a cousin named Norman a few years older than himself. My father was born in 1926. Norman's mothers name was Hattie. Herman and Vesta Mathewson are also relatives of this family. Mathewson's listed in the directory are Charles, George, Riley, Lewis, Lovell, and Norman. One of the above is probably my g g grandfather but I have no clue which one. At least now with their street addy I may be able to find them on the census. Too bad the 1890 census is not available. Lottie married in about 1892. Please e-mail me at agony-acres@msn.com for any look up requests. I should probably mention this also has a street by street listing of residents too ,so you can see who all the people were who lived on the same street as your ancestor which is pretty neat . Linda
