Hi, Can I put them one the NYTIOGA Web Site? http://www.rootsweb.com/~nytioga/index.htm I'm always trying to add things like historical items and cemetery listings that are of interest. I just finished putting up a lot of good historical items about Waverly for instance. Ernie

Her death was unusually sad. A baby boy was born Thursday afternoon, but did not live and the young mother lived only a few hours after its birth. She was the only daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Diedrick VanSusan and was born Mar. 19, 1894. Last Christmas day she became the bride of Leslie Hamilton and both young people were highly esteemed in the community and the church where they were regular attendants. Beside the parents and husband she is survived by four brothers, Raymond, of Newark Valley; Grant, of Groton; and Ralph and Lido, who are at home.

He was born in the town of Richford May 10, 1825. In 1834, the family moved to Lisle, where they conducted a hotel for three years, then they moved back to Richford, where they remained for three years more and then the family moved to Berkshire where the deceased had since lived for more than 72 years. Mr. Dewey was united in marriage Oct. 22, 1855. to Mrs. Lucinda Warren Cargill, of Lee, Mass. Three children were born to them, Clara, wife of Eugene Lynch, Flora, wife of Allen Manning, of Binghamton, and Dwight. The two daughters survive him. The beloved wife and mother died March 24, 1907. Mr. Dewey had been in feeble health for a long time. Mr. and Mrs. Eugene Lynch gave up their own home and came to take care of their father. It will be a great source of comfort to them now that they have cared for him so patiently. Marriages: At the home of the bride's father, Peter Wavle, Wednesday evening, Feb 27, 1901, by the Rev. H. N. VanDeusen, Ralph De Witt Rightmire and Miss Bessie May Wavle, both of Berkshire. Mr. and Mrs. Rightmire will occupy rooms in E. F. Johnson's house and work the farm the coming season.

Dear List members, For several months now, we have been posting historical data about many of the Old School or Primitive Baptist churches across the northern states, to a website, which is designed in a manner to try to help students of church history and also family history. We have included surnames of members as far as they are available to us, although that is only a fraction of the names we would have if all the records were available to us. A great deal of time is required to prepare lists of members, enter them in our database, correct and improve them, etc. After 15 years of such work, on a volunteer basis, we now have over 30,000 entries, and have the records at hand to greatly increase that number. If you would like to review our website, or the page for the several counties we have done work on, in New York state, you may go to either of the following URL addresses shown below. Please write in our Guestbooks, and let us know if you think we can help, or if you can help us, on any of the information presented. We would especially appreciate being informed if anyone knows of the existence of church records, sketch histories or photographs. Here is our main homepage: http://www.carthage.lib.il.us/community/churches/primbap/pbl.html Here is the page for Family History Assistance in New York State (it is in progress - not complete) http://www.carthage.lib.il.us/community/churches/primbap/FamHist-NY.html (make sure the whole line -including the ".html" at the end is intact - the URL is lengthy and tends to break down into two lines. Thank you kindly, Sincerely, Elder Robert Webb

I am doing research for my daughter-in-law who is descended from Elisha Moses Johnson. Do you have copy of Paul Johnson Slate's publicaton of "Elisha Moses Johnson (A Soldier in the Revolution)? Printed by Essex Mailings, N.J. 1952. I am deeply into research about the life of Elisha and am about to go on to Wait Johnson. Any information would be wonderful!

This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Surnames: Livermore Classification: Queries Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/3RB.2ACE/229.1.1 Message Board Post: I looked in "Livermore Family of America" and could not find an Amos matching your information. There was an Amos Livermore who _died_ in 1827, who may have owned land that later got sold to Dexter's father Rufus and later to his grandfather Phineas. These transactions occurred from 1818 to 1834, so it's probably not your Amos. There were many George Livermores in the index, so it will take some further searching to see if anything matches up there. Jason

Would anyone on list have knowledge about "burial permits"? Are there such things, and if so, what type of information would be available on them as opposed to death certificates? Would they be cheaper, and more importantly, faster and more easily obtained than d. c'.s.? Thanks, Jeannette

Looking for any information on the birth of Mary Coffey in Dec 1851. Parents were Thomas and Bridget (Flaherty) Coffey, who emigrated from Ireland. Family eventually moved to and settled in Randolph, Cattaraugus, NY.

Jason Livermore, I see that you had a lot on infomation on the Dexter Livermore family posted on Ancestry .Com and was wondering if you might have anything on a Amos Livermore b. 8/3/1827 d. 1/2/1885. He is my line of Livermore and we have been told that he and his two brothers came to Pa. from Owego or Ithaca, N.Y. I also had a newpaper clipping of a George Livermore that started a Gun Works in Ithaca, N.Y. and think this might be a brother. He lived to be 104 years old. I do not have any other info on Amos Livermore family and would like to learn more . Thank you in advance for any help. Betty J. LaMont lulu@sosbbs.com

the 1810 Spencer Census lists an Abraham Brown,but until 1850 no other persons in the household are named,just listed in age groups.

I am trying to locate descendants of the following KINNEY brothers. Sylvester, b. c. 1797, m. Rachel? Isaac, b. c. 1799, m. Lavina ? George G., b. c. 1800, m. Elizabeth Daniels Homer S., b. c. 1802, m. Phebe ?

Historical Gazetteer and Directory of Tioga County New York, 1887 page 182. George Douglass, came from Ireland, and made the first settlement on the farm now owned by William Douglass, in 1812. He reared three children, John, Charles, and Jane. John Married Emerancy, daugther of Calel Cass, and had born to him six children, viz: Caleb, George, John, Mary, Emma J. and Olin. Charles married Julia, daughter of Sylvester White, and reared four children, Mary, Maria, Roxy and William. Jane married Robert Duff, and two children were born to them, George and Sarah. Hope this helps some

Tioga Co Historical Society card files show exact same info but call Cemetery "Pine Grove".Its on RT 96 east of Spencer. Sometimes marker is where he enlisted though he may not be buried there. GAR Registrar ? never had luck there as a resource.

Could somebody please perform a lookup from the NY State census of 1892 on Oliver Dodge living in Van Etten? Thank you, Don Nevins
