Thanks to all who responded to my request for info about Ebay. I had hoped to jump in and bid today but we had a terrible storm last night and were without power for 24 hours so missed my chance.

Qualifying the word"Normal" ,Normal = exceptions and Changes and subject to exceptions and changes.We are below normal in moisture and are presently in a lightening storm that should last 48 hours.Looking ahead 70-90 days,we will be above normal during that time frame,the exception will be the Pacific NW and Atlantic NE.The Pacific and Atlantic are warming ,meaning Hurricanes will be up but winters on both sides should be colder.First year to anybody's knowledge we did not get snow,we have single digit days usually.R ----- Original Message ----- From: <JoyceTice@aol.com> To: <PABRADFO-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Sunday, May 14, 2000 18 01 PM Subject: [PABRADFO] Tri-County Update - Sunday Nada > Hi All Guests of <A HREF="http://www.rootsweb.com/~srgp/jmtindex.htm">Tri-Cou > nties Genealogy & History Sites of Joyce M.

Sorry to post this to the list as this is really an email for Pat Raymond and Carlton Wolfe, but I have misplaced Pat's email. I think your (Pat and Carlton) mutual interest could be a Sally Brown. Will of Obadiah Brown dated 19 Feb 1830. Codicil to Will dated 23 Feb 1836 probated 16 Mar 1836. Will named son Obadiah Jr., and his son Obadiah; daughters Rachel, Sally Brown. I have not seen the actual Will, but Carlton has a copy of this Will. Obadiah lived in northern Columbia Township in Wolfe Hollow. Joanna Sheldon was enumerated in South Creek in 1840 of age 60 and under age 70 with a male child of age 15 and under age 20 in her household (presumed to be Samuel Sheldon Baker). Joanna Sheldon's Will, dated 10 July 1841 named adopted daughter Sally Brown and adopted son Samuel S. Baker. She perhaps d. in 1842 as her Will was probated 15 Mar 1842. Joanna Sheldon was provided for in the Will of Ezekial Baker dated 26 Mar 1836 South Creek Township which named children: Hosea, Benjamin, Rhonda Seymour, heirs of Polly Hall deceased, Sally Seymour, Roena Sergents, and Harriet Johnson, each one $1. Unto Joanna Sheldon who is now living with me the use of the remainder of my property both personal and real estate for her maintainance and support during her natural life with the provision, that the boy which is living with me by the name of Samuel Sheldon Baker, my adopted son is to have his maintainance out of said property with a good education. At the decease of Joanna Sheldon the remaining property, if any remains is to be equally divided among my sons and daughters. Executors, Samuel Pettingil and Truman Baker and guardians to my adopted son Samuel Sheldon Baker. Probated 9 May 1836. My question. Was Sally Brown, daughter of Obadiah Brown and Sally Brown the adopted daughter of Joanna Sheldon one and the same? Naturally, Brown is a very common name and so is the name Sally. Wolfe Hollow in Columbia Township and the Fassett area in South Creek Township where it is believed Ezekial Baker resided are in close proximity to each other and the two townships border each other. My second question is the Joanna Brown of Milton, Cayuga County, New York, who married 2 Apr 1800 at Sheshequin, Obadiah Brown the same person as Joanna Sheldon? I am not sure if this marriage refers to Obadiah Brown, the Revolutionary Soldier who died in Columbia in 1836 or his son Obadiah Jr., b. 1777. If Sally Brown was the daughter of Obadiah Brown, the Revolutionary Soldier, and his wife Penelope Swayze and Obadiah m. (2)Joanna Brown, then Sally could be the step daughter of Joanna and thus called adopted daughter in her Will. However, this would mean that Joanna Brown did not remain the wife of Obadiah Brown, which could be possible, and became Joanna Sheldon. Some of this is certainly conjecture and not fact. Very interesting families and further research is needed. J. Kelsey Jones

In the book," Images of America Athens, Sayre and Waverly, a book produced by Bonney Stacey, in 1996, of the Spaulding Library. Page 68. There is a picture of Jesse Spaulding. The caption reads. In late 1896 Mr.Spaulding a chicago lumberman originally from the valley, donated money to build a museum and library on the land across from the Old Academy in Athens. The Spauldings' son had died shortly before and the building was to be a memorial. This photograph (the elder Mr. Spaulding) was taken in 1870 at the famous Brady studio in New York. marge

Joyce: You copy, I will type. Having found most of my Bradford & Tioga ancestors thanks to your site, I need to look for some early Chemung people too (Southport). Just advise the procedures & format. And while I'm at it, a CHEER and MANY THANKS to a member of this list who saw my aside last week about finding the Snedekers of Snedekerville. She remembered seeing the name at Oak Hill in Troy and went back to look for me. There they were! My gr-gr-gr grandparents, W.H. & Eliza Gray Snedeker who founded Snedekerville in 1865 and my gr-gr g'ma, Jessie, who died at age 20 when her babe, my great-g'ma was only 6 months old. At 600 miles away I can not put flowers on their graves for Mothers Day but it is somehow fitting that I found them this week.

I give up - I could find Skunk Hollow in Clinton, Lycoming, and Tioga and Skunk Run in Lawrence. If anyone has Bremer's Conpendium he has a list of all "dead" towns in the US. I have the book but it is in GA and I am in Ireland. I used to have a wonderful internet site of old gazateers but lost the bookmark when my computer crashed. If anyone has the url please post it to the list. Why is it you can never find the same website twice? Charmaine
