I am trying to trace the lineage of William J Staples who died in NYC in 1883. His obit. reads born in New Rochelle. I have found the death of one son, identified his wife (Hannah) and established that he had 4 other children. Have not been able to identify his parents, which I need to connect him to my family line. The only people I have found in Westchester are a Jesse in S.Salem (1820), an Aaron and a Thaddeus in S Salem (1830) and an Aaron in West Chester and a Turner in Lewisboro (1840). My Staples lines came from Fairfield, CT thru Ulster County, NY. I do have some Thaddeus names in my line.

Have you tried looking in New Brunswick, Canada? I found some STAPLES who received land grants in 1788, Christian names include: Francis, Henry & Thomas. Land grants were in the county of York, New Brunswick. The names on the list appear to be Loyalist surnames Also found some STAPLES in Saint John County in the 1860s-1890s. Also, Early Connecticut Marriages (prior to 1800) http://www.rays-place.com/marrage/fairfield-1st-cong.htm Debby -----Original Message----- From: nywestch-bounces@rootsweb.com [mailto:nywestch-bounces@rootsweb.com] On Behalf Of GENEAL Sent: Monday, February 05, 2007 11:22 PM To: nywestch@rootsweb.com Subject: Re: [NYWESTCH] GEOGRAPHY EXPERT I am trying to trace the lineage of William J Staples who died in NYC in 1883.
