I have just come across the book Their Own Voices "Oral Accounts of Early Settlers In Washington County, New York". This book is a collection of interviews done by Dr. Asa Fitch (1809-1879) of Salem, NY. Most of the included interviews were done in 1847 and 1848. The book is a subset of the interviews, the originals of which are in the collection of the NY Genealogical and Biographical Society in New York City. The original is over 1800 pages, this book contains only about 150 pages. This subset book was published in 1983. Anyone who would like a lookup should send me as much information as they have available. (Please don't ask for everything on a given surname.) And please send the request privately rather than clogging up the mailing list. Interestingly, more of my Warren County ancestors show up than my Washington County ancestors.
