    3. I recently located my ggrandfather Milton ATHERTON on the 1850 Census for Erie County with a wife Delia and son Franklin, age 1. However, by 1859 he had remarried to my ggrand mother, Elizabeth HOLDEN, in Barbour Co WV. Liz Proudfoot in Sandusky did a lookup for me and found that Milton ATHERTON married Delia (may have been Cordelia) BENSCHOTER in 1848 in Erie County. However, the marriage information I received indicated only the names of the bride and groom. I found information on BENSCHOTER through Family Treemaker's Internet Family Finder but does anyone know if any documents exist which would list the parents of the bride and groom and/or other information. I am looking for the parents of Milton ATHERTON. According to his marriage record in Barbour Co WV, he was born 1824 in Cayuga NY and parents were Cornelius and Mary ATHERTON but I have not been able to locate any evidence of them in Cayuga NY. I would also like to find out what happened to Delia and Franklin. Was there a cholera outbreak in Erie Co between 1850 and 1859? If so, where would deaths be listed? I also note there are other ATHERTONs in Erie Co in the 1850 census. Thanks for any assistance. Jean Atherton Vineyard
