Surnames: LOOKER, HATCH, BEARDSLEY, PUTNAM Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/TdB.2ACI/1825.1 Message Board Post: Not an answer to your query, but a follow-up (or follow-back, as it were). I am the third great-granddaughter of Henry & Louisa Hatch Looker, who came from NY by 1840 or thereabouts and settled in Athens Township, Crawford County.(My Hatch is the eldest child of Henry 1760? - 1817, Whitehall, Washington County, NY & Betsey/Betsy Watrous Backus. Henry is the son of Matthew 1735 - 1804, b. Plymouth, MA & Rhoda UNKNOWN.. I can provide more off-line). Anyway, I am more interested in anything you might have on Harriet Looker. Our Henry Looker was born about 1818 (?) . His father was - we 're fairly sure - John Looker, who census records show as coming from NY. Herkimer County is a possibility based on census clues. John was in Crawford County by 1840 as well and probably came with his son. Help breaking thru the brick wall is appreciated. You may reply on or off-list.
