Hi, Sometime after 1806, John Rasey and wife Rachel Brewer moved to Washington Co., NY. They were residing in Hartford in all the census records located, and are both buried there. Their daughter Mary "Polly" Rasey, born 1804-1806 in Plattsburgh NY, married Daniel Fuller (born in CT in 1798), somewhere between 1820-1823, probably in Hartford. They were both devout Baptist, although I don't know if they were married in a church or not. Daniel and Mary Fuller were members of the Second Baptist Church in Hartford until 1830, when Mary "Polly" Fuller was excluded from the membership for "aggravated imprudence". Does anyone know where either civil or Baptist records might be found for the period 1820-1823 in Hartford? There is a lot of circumstantial evidence concerning Daniel Fuller's parentage, but so far no documentation has been found. Also, there is a Darius Fuller listed in several of the census records for Washington Co. as head of household. Would like to find out whether he moved to the county from CT, who his parents were.

JONES WELL KNOWN TRENTON FARMER Passed away yesterday in his 83d Year -Active in the Affairs of the Town for Many Years and Highly Respected by His Neighbors and Friends-Other Trenton News. Trenton, New York July 27.-Joseph B. Jones died this morning at his residence about one-half mile northwest of Trenton village, in his 83d year. Mr. Jones had been in poor health for several years, suffering considerably from the effects of rheumatism. He was born in Meirionethshire, Wales, April 1, 1833, and came to America in 1847. He lived in New York City until about 1863, when he came to Trenton, and had resided here since. He married Martha Thomas, who survives, in New York about fifty years ago. Mr. Jones was a man of many good traits. He devoted his time to farming as long he was able to work and in his younger days was considered one of the model farmers of Trenton. He was a devout member and faithful attendant of the Welsh church of Trenton as long as the church was kept open. After it was closed he attended the Welsh church at Remsen as often as his health would admit. In politics he was a strong Republican. He never held office, but years ago many sought him for advice. He leaves besides his wife, three children, Mrs. J.H. Jones, John S. and David T. Jones, all of Trenton, three sisters, Mrs. Elizabeth Owen of Poultney, Vt., Mrs. Joseph Williams of Granville, N.Y., and Mrs. John Hughes of Trenton, N.Y., and tow brothers, Edward E.

The past week has been one of sickness, accidents, deaths and constant fear, and Spanish influenza and pneumonia has provided the biggest share of trouble. As we mentioned in our last issue, the south room in the Town Hall building on the first floor had been converted into an emergency hospital, and it turned out to have been a splendid piece of forethought, for shorty after preparations had been completed there was a demand for beds, and patients were taken in. The work was under the direction of the Red Cross, with Mrs. Helme, the President, working indefatigably night and day to provide for the patients who were afficted with the epidemic. Identified with Mrs. Helme were other members of the Red Cross, and volunteers did what they could to assist in the emergency. The physicians were convinced that the patients would receive attention in this way better than as though they were ; nd Heath Officer Derven has given advice here and there which has helped to allay much of the fear produced by reason of the spread of the malady. The first death occur was that of Claire Johnson, noticed in our last issue, and the second was that of Wallace T. Skeels, a man 67 years of age,and who came here from Troy in the Spring to take a position with the Gray Foundry. He passed away at about 6 o'clock on Thursday evening, and the remains were taken to Troy on Saturday morning. On Saturday afternoon occurred the death of Ernest Johnson, brother of Claire, and the death of his wife occurred on Sunday at the Emergency hospital,, the first to pass away there. On the same day (Saturday) Mr. and Mrs. Hermon T. Jones were taken to the hospital. His condition at this time was critical, and he gradually grew worse, the end coming on the morning of Tuesday. Mrs. Jones passed the crisis all right, and is now improving. Two children also survive Mr. Jones. Mrs. Hiram VanGuilder, living near the Furnace street bride, suffered for several days, and would not submit being taken to the hospital until it was too late. Her death occurred on Tuesday. IN OTHER TOWNS. Several severe cases of pneumonia developed at Wells, among which was that of Postmaster N. F. Lewis, whose death occurred on Saturday morning. Two deaths occurred in Whitehall (N.Y.) on Friday night, and the State armory was turned into a temporary hospital, and the soldiers on duty at the locks assisted the people of the village in caring for those taken there. Three hundred out of five hundred employees in the shipyard at Fort Edward (N.Y.) were absent from work because of the influenza. William M. Tierney, son of Mr. and Mrs. M. Tierney of Granville (N.Y.), died suddenly in Ilion (N.Y.) on Friday afternoon of influenza. He is survived by his parents, five brothers and one sister.

Source, Rutland, Vt.Daily Herald--Mon.Oct.21, 1918. WEST PAWLET, Vt. The state road on the Rupert end of Indian River valley is nearly finished. The Pawlet end probably will not be built as the commissioner is fighting a hard battle with the plague, with his whole family sick, some of whom have been taken to the new hospital in Granville, N.Y., which had its birth last Sunday, and now has about 40 patients. Five persons died at Granville today. PAWLET HARD HIT BY EPIDEMIC. West Pawlet has been hard hit by the epidemic. Seven or eight here died in the village and around 20 percent are sick. Dr. Horner called at over 60 houses in one day, each house having one or more sick in bed. Two brothers were buried in the same grave Tuesday. Some were buried Wednesday and three Thursday. The German war relic cars passed through here to Granville and back to Salem Thursday. AN ATTEMPT TO BURN PROPERTY. Wednesday night Mrs. Lockwood, who lives at West Rupert, saw a light from her window. Going out to investigate she found a lighted torch in the leaves between the house and barn, which are but a few feet apart. Some one had thrown it in from the highway. A bundle a cloth was tied to the end of a stick about two feet long which had been soaked in some inflammable substance as the cloth had not burned much. NO LIQUOR FOR USE IN SICKNESS. There is no liquor to be had in Pawlet or Granville, N. Y., to bridge the sick ones over the epidemic. Such a condition will not aid the cause for a bone-dry nation. It is certainly going too far.

Some thoughts: Lists for older, especially northern and eastern, communities tend to have more and better early records than southern and newer, western communities. They also seem to have more people who are really interested in genealogy and who have access to books and records, etc. Some lists are just lucky enough to have a few really knowledgeable members who also try to help everyone they can, thus encouraging others to do the same. --- [email protected] wrote: > Hi list, > i belong to several mail lists and wish to ask > this question.
