Have enjoyed reading all the posts various folk have taken the time to put up there for us! Thanks to all. In one of the recent postings I have again seen reference to yet another of our ancestors coming from or being born in Washington County, NY. I would certainly like to find out if this was a snowball effect and more about why - were they all neighbors over there so one by one moved to Crawford. I have several in my family that did that (I've recently discovered.) Any books or articles out there written about this? Nancy Ogren Anderson Thurston, Smith, Hall Bortner, Newbold, Williams
