Ross disposed of four cases at yesterday morning's session of the City court.The prisoners were Frank McGann of Hartford, N.Y., John Donahue of Florence,Fred Hammond of Fair Haven and James Palmer of this city. each of the men was fined $ 5.00 and costs, amounting in all to $ 12.50, for intoxication. McGann paid and the others were given 10 days each in the county jail. The case of Patrick Kelley, one of the proprietors of the Banquet house, who is charged with selling liquor without a license, was continued until next Tuesday at the request of the respondent.

According to a current county map, there is a Wood Creek that begins in north-central Argyle and flows northwest to the Kingsbury town line, whence it turns slightly north-northeast until it meets the Champlain Canal. There is also a Wood Creek in Whitehall which is a tributary of the Mettawee River, also very close to the Canal. I'm not sure but it seems that the present-day canal seems to be following something of the path of 18th c. Wood Creek so often read about in Rev War accounts. Perhaps a look into the history of the canal (if only my father were here) wouldn't be amiss. Sara

Mike and all: FYI -- I have the first part of the narrative "Wood Creek From Yesterday to Today" posted on the Whitehall/Fort Ann genealogy website at: www.towpathtowns.homestead.com Thomas Palmer Galion, Ohio

NATHANIEL COE, son of Huldah Horton and Joel Coe (Dea. Nathaniel, Nathaniel, Caleb, Barnabas, Caleb, Barnabas I.), born in Morris Co., N. J., 12 Sept., 1788; moved with his father to Scipio, N. Y., in 1795; went by sloop to Albany--4 days--thence in wagons up the Mohawk, by way of Schenectady--thence to Cayuga and Wood Creek to Auburn, N. Y., and then Scipio, being one At that time period, counties were not fully formed.. Cumberland county in 1766, Gloucester in 1770, and Charlotte (later Washington) in 1772, were formed out of Albany county. The two first and part of the last, are now in the State of Vermont. Anoother mention for Wood Creek is in the History of Broome County. "Tryon county was erected in 1772, also out of Albany, and comprised the country west of a north and south line extending from St. Regis to the west bounds of the township of Schenectady, thence running irregularly southwest to the head of the Mohawk branch of the Delaware, and along the same to the southeast bounds of the present county of Broome; thence in a northwesterly direction to Fort Bull, on Wood Creek, near the present village of Rome; all west of the last-mentioned line being Indian Territory. Thus the Province consisted, at the Revolution, of fourteen counties.1" ----------------- The gazetteer also does mention a "Wood creek" this way.... FISH CREEK, Oneida county, New York, falls into Wood creek, about 2 miles from its mouth in the Oneida lake. The east branch of this stream abounds with fine mill-seats. Let us know what you are looking for there or who the people were? that might help the pursuit.

A little side note/early reference: A Carpenter genealogy says that one Jedediah Strong was killed by Indians at Wood Creek, NY, Oct 12 1709. The GNIS mapping service shows Wood Creek, Washington Co., NY, as a gut (twice), near Whitehall, and as a stream nearer Fort Ann/Glens Falls.
