Hello Cousin David, It's good hearing from you again. Since my ancestor is not listed in your very complete list, he must not have made a will. Might there be probate records for him somewhere? How would I find out and how would I obtain a copy?

This web site: http://www.sampubco.com/wills/ny/nywyoming1.htm lists the wills filed in Wyoming County from 1841 to about 1900 and doesn't list your ancestor. The Mormons have these records on microfilm - you can look in their card catalog at www.familysearch.org to see what years are covered by the different volumes (for example, wills from the mid 1850's might be in volumes 61-1, 61-2 and 61-3).

We are attempting to trace our family back to New York state. On his marriage license, my gg grandfather EDMOND LOWELL BRIGGS states that he was born (b. May 29, 1829) in Wyoming County, New York, to JAMES and MARIA BRIGGS. Have no idea if Edmond had any siblings, but after moving to Wisconsin (sometime between 1846 and 1850) he lived with a BENJAMIN BRIGGS and wife LYDIA, so it's possible Benjamin is an older brother or an uncle. Both Benjamin and Lydia were born in New York according to Wisconsin census figures, it would be nice to think in Wyoming County as well. If anyone has any information concerning any of the above, we would be anxious to hear from you. Steve from Iowa/Linda from California

Progressive Batavian Batavia, NY December 26-1879 # 4 Darien.-Christmas is coming and our town people are purchasing in neighboring larger places gifts which are brought home in a "big box, little box, band box, and bundle," and which the children are not allowed to investigate. Our enterprising merchant, Mr. ___let, in order to keep apace with the demand of the times and supply the wants of all, has placed on his counter a stock of five cent goods, which take well. The quarterly services of the M.E. Church were held at the Center last Sabbath. The sermon by the Presiding Elder, Rev. Mr. Huntington of Buffalo, was interesting, showing very plainly the contrast between a Christian and a worldling, or as he called it, "the old man and the new." His illustrations were happy and to the point. There is on exhibition at Mr. Mullett's store some very fine pieces of crayon work, which show that the artist, Miss Mullett, is one who thoroughly understands her profession. The Greenbackers of the town still live, and so does their "rag baby," the Darien Journal, which completed its first year with the last number. As it was a good, healthy, wide-awake boy (we can't call it a baby any longer), its parents have decided to nurse it tenderly for another year, allowing it to cry semimonthly as heretofore. Its cry is musical to all except when it crys[sic] for "rags! rags! rags!" There was a painful, and at the time thought to be serious, accident occurred at our school one day last week. Hiram, son of Lucius Getman, while playing, collided with one of the larger boys with such force as to knock him down, striking his right eye in such a manner as to cause it immediately to swell and turn black. He has now so far recovered as be able to see a little from it. submitted by Linda Web-Page Editor for Bethany BETHANY: Its Past and Present ~ Bethany Town Page http://www.arkwebshost.com/family/bluebird/TownOfBethany.shtml Contributor for the BUFFALO and Western NYS Website: www.buffalonian.com ~ History Through Newspapers

Progressive Batavian Batavia, NY December 26-1879 # 3 Pavilion. - Willie Graves is off for a holiday visit in Tioga County. Enoch Heath and family will spend the holidays in Franklinville. An elevator has just been put in the new ware-house. It was made by L.S. Graves, Rochester. Rans Hutchinson has purchased a set of Forsyth's hay scales which he has placed at the ware-house. "Baby" street is appropriately named. Wm. Lortz now comes to the front with a fine specimen of baby. Willis Culver left town last Tuesday for Baltimore, Md., where he will engage in the nursery business. Success attend, you, m'boy. Mr. James Lyons, formerly of Midland railroad of Canada, has been installed telegraph operator at the depot, vice Maggie Weber. Steps are being taken to organize an A.O.U.W. lodge in this place. Everything is about ready for a start. Next week we will give further particulars. The quarterly meeting of the official board of the M.E. Church will be held at Covington on Saturday. On Wednesday next the annual meeting for the election of trustees will be held at the church in this village. The M.E. Church is now permanently supplied with a pastor in the person of Rev. S.C. Farnham. Mr. F. came here direct from New Hampshire. He is, as has been intimated, a man of ability and energy, and all concerned are highly gratified. On Wednesday evening of next week Miss Julia Young of Morganville will give a reading in the Presbyterian Church building under the auspices of the Pavilion Library Society. Miss Young is spoken of very highly by those who have had the pleasure of hearing her. The breach of promise suit, spoken of two weeks ago, was witnessed by a large and amused audience. Lillie Nobles personated her character (Kate Snarling, complainant.) to a dot. Mr. Fickle, the defendant, personated by Humphrey Maddock, was a most accommodating witness. The affair wound up with a conciliation and bridle[sic] scene. It hath been murmured about that one of our sprightliest and prettiest young ladies has taken unto herself another, not a better half. It is understood that the contracting parties are Miss _____ [sic] and Mr. ____[sic]. The whole affair being shrouded in secrecy and mystery we won't venture any positive assertion. If so, Frank, you're a lucky dog any way. A few weeks since a few active Christians, seeing the need of a work in this village, banded themselves together for the purpose of holding cottage prayer meetings. Thus far they have been very much encouraged in the work and will continue to hold them. The next meeting will be held at the residence of Mr. Wm. Gilmore. Present indications point to a successful revival in Pavilion ere long. Who says Pavilion has no manufacturing interests? Having just completed a dozen swell body cutters, part of which are already sold, Mr. Buckingham is now getting out material for as many lumber wagons for the spring trade. DeWitt Bond has shipped during the past fall and winter seven car loads of turned handles for farming tools, each car holding 10,000 to 12,000 handles. In addition to all this we have two patent medicine manufacturies in the place. Go in!

Brian, I stopped in Perry this August and the Town officials were very helpful. The cemetery custodian helped me find my mother's infant brother's gravestone.
