I found several patents for my family but can't get them to print. I don't see where it says anything about how to send for copies. Thanks for letting us know about this site.

Researching: PINCKNEY, TOWNSEND, LYON, STAR, GORE, ALLEN, ABBEY, FARNHAM, BROWNE All I have are 7 land deeds in Onondaga Co., NY to link the 7 children listed below to Elijah PINCKNEY. The link is circumstantial since there is no mention in the deeds of "father," "son," nor "daughter." All the deeds mention a portion of 200 acres in Lot 25 in Clay/Cicero, Onondaga Co., NY. Elijah PINCKNEY, his wife Polly LYON and at least 3 of their children were probably born in Westchester Co. Does anyone have anything on this family? Is anyone else researching this family?

Hi Joan, I have not done ANY research on the Turneys at all as yet. The Turneys that Barbara and I mentioned are very early ones .....back in the 1600s in CT. If I were you I'd go back from the Peekskill Turney family. Did you try the 1870 census?? 1860?? Neighboring towns?? Death certificates too should be easily available for those death dates and some have a wealth of pertinent info. Please let me know what you find.

I have no objections to caps when they promote clarification. That said, I must also point out that some of my best leads have been found in the "fine print".....including back in the nineties a whole new line I didn't even know about.

Thanks, Maureen. P.S. I sent for my maternal grandmother's death certificate recently. Her mother's maiden name was Tierney and was born in Quebec. I'll keep plugging.LOL. I think I have located the Donovans on the 1881 Canada census too but must do more research to be absolutely sure it's Mom's family.

Thank you Bruce, the funny thing is this is my husband's side of the family in Westchester and Dutchess County NY. But the MORGANs, DICKINSONs, FOWLERs, HATFIELDs etc. go back much further in the USA than my side. Thanks, Carol L. Heap FL

Actually most lists ask that submitters insert the surname or topic one is inquiring about in the subject line. In the content of the message, we normally use CAPITAL letters for surnames. This format facilitates reading; one can quickly review the query. It is also most helpful if the submitter includes dates and/or time period along with locations/states/provinces, etc. Most researchers are on several mailing lists and receive a lot of messages, providing the above info helps to ensure that we don't overlook queries/info that may be relevant to our research or be able to provide assistance to fellow researchers.

My questions on patents and Peekskill generated a LOT of good information which --as thanks--I pass along. Even if you don't know that your ancestor had a patent, plug his name in and you might find something new! Each has a written description, a scale drawing, a number, the date of application and date of filing--and the signature of the inventor and his witnesses, so there are 'extras'. I like the personal signatures of the inventor--makes them so real! First: the patent HQs near Stanford I physically visited to locate and view the films available was called SRI-3 (the 3 being the tiny 3 symbol for cubed). that site is no longer in 'business' and it's holdings are now part of the Sunnyvale Public Library in Sunnyvale, CA. They can be accessed by acceptable Library Card, by name and patent number if you desire. Phone # 408/730-7300 for better information. Second: mjmann was kind enough to suggest http://www.google.com/patents/ -- then insert the name. I found more than I ever thought. Copies available for $3. each and entire detail copies available for $25, each and can be ordered on line. Thanks! suemaxwell, RickVT, Wolfpack, Barbara de la Mare, Snowstar, Clarkridge, mjmann--et al! Try inserting the name of your ancestor/inventor. I stopped looking at 20 ascribed to John Ormerod [self and those he assigned to J. Matthews Bottling factory]. In addition I found 'extra' Ormerods from Lancaster, ENG who also became patent-holders....more to do! Jan Miller jgrellim@sbcglobal.net

I agree with Elizabeth, it is really a pain to read through the threaded messages over and over again because someone FAILED to delete all messages except the pertinent one.

Carol, you sure seem to everywhere. I've seen your name many times on the list's I subscribe to. At this point no one else has volunteered, and I doubt there is anyone closer. I live in Leesburg so you're not that far away. I'll get it packaged up and send.

Maureen, Thanks for the site. There's another 'photo' site out there http://www.familyoldphotos.com/ If you scroll down, there are links for each state.

Many of the other lists use capital letters for surnames. It makes it much easier to scan emails, then determine if the post is of personal use to you. It would be a great idea to see on Westchester. Barb

Barbara, Yes, you are reading correctly. Rebecca is the sister of Ann Turney. Thomas had 10 children alltogether with his 3 wives. By the time he got to wife # 4 she was too old. I have wife #3 listed as Elizabeth, widow of John Cable but don't have her maiden name, and wife#4 as Sarah Hyde widow of Peter Cooley. Maureen

A friend of mine just sent me this URL for old picture postcards. There are many interesting ones from Westchester. Maureen http://www.rootsweb.com/~usgenweb/special/ppcs/ppcs.html

I am sure you don't realize it, but some of the messages contain entire threads over several days repeated several times. When you get digest version, it is a lot to scroll through. thanks, Elizabeth K.

My ancestor, Rev. Denton KEELER (1789-1886,) a Methodist circuit rider, worked up and down the Hudson River communities and was living in Westchester County at the time of his death. One of his daughters, Catharine (Cir1817-1872,) had a daughter that married into the Cross River REYNOLDS family. A few years ago while living in Manhattan I corresponded with a lady by the name of Jane Fox, a REYNOLDS descendant. I did visit that Cross River cemetery in 2002 and recorded some of the stones. If you want what I have I would be happy to share if it will help. I also can give you Jane's email address off the newsgroup.
