Looking for any information about Stephen Allen and Laura Welch. Stephen was born. 1804 in what is now Warren County. On September 04, 1830 he married Laura Welch b September 15, 1810. They had two girls, Jane (January 23, 1832) and Rhoda (January 20, 1834). Jane's obituary lists her birthplace as Luzerne. By 1835 the family had relocated to Cattaraugus County.

Searching for information for the family of George Smith Griffin and Electa Mariette Dalrymple from Bolton of Warren County, New York. They were married on 15 March 1818 in Bolton. Am interested in locating other sharing this ancestry. They were parents of thirteen children..... In family searching, Florence Griffin

I have finally finished transcribing a list of marriages performed by George B. Reynolds, Justice of the Peace, Bolton, New York 1840-1870. http://www.inet-1.com/~markham/marriages.htm There are many Bolton families represented. There are also families from Caldwell, Queensbury, Horicon, Warrensburg and other counties. If you haven't seen this list before you might want to check it out.

Laura, I checked what records I have available and could not find your Grace Mix. Have you tried to get her death certificate. If everything on it was originally filled out, it should answer all your questions. I can't remember now if New York has a 50 year or 75 year waiting period on death certificates. Lois

Laura, I have quite a few cemetery inscriptions. What do you need? lois@gwi.net

Does anyone have access to cemetery records or mortuary records of Lake Luzerne? Any help appreciated. -- L. L. Scott, IBSSG L. L. Scott's Virtual Office: http://www.geocities.com/~llscott/ Peace: http://www.pcola.gulf.net/~llscott/peace.htm

Hello! I wanted to thank Sharon and everyone else for helping me out with this term! It was a big help! Heather

Dear Heather: By the way, it's not that old an illness term. My grandfather died of it (dropsy) in 1948. --Sharon Barber

Dear Heather and Fellow NYWARREN Listers---- According to the following site: http://www.geocities.com/Heartland/Estates/5421/oldterms.html Dropsy is an old term for Edema (swelling), often caused by kidney or heart disease. There's a lot of old lists on the following page, too. http://www.geocities.com/Heartland/Estates/5421/index2.html Have fun! Sharon Barber

That was congestive heart failure. It is a short version of hydropsey. I found that on a list of historic medical terminology on-line. But I did not bookmark it. Perhaps you could search for the list. Happy Hunting!

Hi all! This is a little off subject, but wondered if someone could help! My g-g-grandmother, Cordelia (Palmer) Wood, (who lived in Bolton Warren County) was said to have died from a case of "dropsy". I guess she had to have her legs up on a quilt, and the quilt got soaked with fluid. Her legs were "like logs" my Grandmother was told. does anyone know what this could have possibly been? Heather

Part of the 1850 Census for Warren County is online 1850 NY_Warren Census . The Warren County GenWeb page also has a search engine that is very helpful Index . My 1850 Census Index on CD says there is a Henry Palmer in Warrensburg, page 108. I also have a transcribed 1850 Census. It says the following: 71/80 PALMER, Henry 34 m NY , Juliett 29 f NY , William H 11, m, NY , Adelia 9, f, NY , Mary E. 5, f, NY , Amos 3, m, NY , Anson S. 2/12, m, NY Good luck with your research.

Hi Does anyone out there have access to the 1850 and/or 1855 NY census? I am looking for the entry for Henry Palmer wife Julia, either in Warrensburg Warren Co. or in Bolton Warren Co. I have them in 1860 in Bolton. The index lists Henry Palmer in Warrensburg 1850 on page 108. As for the 1855 i'm not sure, but was told they list the names on that one. Thanks for any help! Heather

Hi all! Does anyone have access to the 1820 and/or 1830 census for Warren County? I am looking for the information they contain on Amos Wood in Queensbury, and what other people are listed with him. Thanks so much for any help Heather

This is one time sweep through the affected counties. Delete if you already seen this on other NY lists. SAMPUBCO moved to new address and it's a new home all it's own. new home: http://www.sampubco.com You will need to bookmark this site because the search engines (altavista, dogpile, snap, etc) will not update their directories for 4 to 8 weeks or longer.

Hi, I just recently put up a "New and Improved" version of my Genealogy Page on my Website. Has over 3800 names in it. I have a bunch of people who came from Washington Co. - SCOVILLE, CASE, WINCHESTER, CHURCHILL. I included quite a bit of information in the notes, too. http://www.coiinc.com/people/jerrbear/Genealogy If anybody makes any connections, would love to hear from you. JerrBear

I think I may be able to check that out for you tomorrow. If not, I will let you know.

Does anyone happen to have access to the 1820 Warren County Census? I'd really like to know what it says about Simeon PHILIPS on p. 99 of that census. I won't be able to get back to the censuses myself again until sometime next month. Thank you! kathy

Hi All I'm new to your list,and would like to know if anyone can assist me in finding source documentation for my NORRIS and DODGE family connection. I am the Great-Great-Grandson(2GGS) of Willard Harris NORRIS, and have information, so far, as listed below.

DODGE died young, and his son(my grandfather) also died young, and very little info was passed down the generational trail, so I have to play "catch-up". If anyone can assist in this, or point me in the right direction, I would be greatly appreciative.
