Does anyone have marriage records for Warren or Jamestown and surrounding areas? I am looking for Henry Dove to Georgia Clifton about 1934 1936. Although they lived in Warren they apparently were married elsewhere as there is no record in the Warren County Courthouse. Thanks, Jim
Hello All; In my never ending search, for learning the history of our area and also my own family roots, which run very deep in here, I have just submitted for addition to the Chautauqua Co Archives MY last Cemetery List of this Century. Mina Corner's Cemetery, Route 430, between Findley's Lake (Pond) and Sherman, Chautauqua Co NY The Town of Mina Clerk, Florence BOOZEL, when she found what I was doing, was happy to hear it was being done, copied all the records in her files for us and any who seek their kin. AT NO CHARGE, (oh happy days) This is not a large cemetery but there is a lot of history here, and it connects many of the families in the other cemeteries in this part of the County.AND PA, Erie and Warren Co. The first to be submitted in the year 2,000 will be Findley's Lake Cemetery. Now we shall wait for Jay Priest to finish his building project to submit these to archives, keep looking, and also for West Mina. Dee http://www.rootsweb.com/~nychauta/CEMETERY/Cem_list.htm#MINA PS You may not be aware, but http://www.ancestry.com is totally FREE for the next 10 days Census, Military, ALL of it. take advantage, it has great info D
If you're having trouble finding your ancestors, try looking in nearby counties. Check out the Enchanted Mountains Genealogy Society website. It covers nearby Allegheny, Cattaraugus, Chautauqua, Stueben Co., NY and McKean, and Potter Co., PA. Census records and other interesting things are listed there. http://www.enchantedmountains.com Enjoy! Doug PS: I noticed the name Beebe mentioned there quite frequently. Who was searching that line?

Hi This is from another list but I had to pass it on The Laws of Genealogy The document containing evidence of the missing link in your research invariably will be lost due to fire, flood or war. The keeper of the vital records you need will have just been insulted by another genealogist. Your great, great, grandfather's obituary states that he died, leaving no issue of record. The town clerk you wrote to in desperation, and finally convinced to give you the information you need, can't write legibly, and doesn't have a copying machine. The will you need is in the safe on board the "Titanic". The spelling of your European ancestor's name bears no relationship to its current spelling or pronunciation. That ancient photograph of four relatives, one of whom is your progenitor carries the names of the other three. Copies of old newspapers have holes which occur only on last names. No one in your family ever did anything noteworthy, always rented property, was never sued and was never named in wills. You learned that Great Aunt Matilda's executor just sold her life's collection of family genealogical materials to a flea market dealer " somewhere in New York City". Yours is the only last name not found among the 3 billion in the world famous Mormon Archives in Salt Lake City. Ink fades and paper deteriorates at a rate inversely proportional to the value of the data recorded. The 37 volume, sixteen thousand page history of your country of origin isn't indexed. The critical link in your family tree is named "Smith". ( Mine is BROWN) Regardless of the problems foreseen here, we wish everyone the best of the Holiday Season.
To the List members, The bottom letter is the first in this query, to the top, if you can help this man, his email is tmjlljj@juno.com Dee Hello I think if you look at this persons data, it is pretty general don't you think? WELL, he did die AFTER 1855, long after, there is a LDS file too, but so general and no real data I would not use it, . and NO, I doubt there are two Phoebes, there are 2 readings on this cemetery, and BOTH have the same info on your GIFFORD, and yes this is where I got the data I am also going to send this to our 2 Mail Lists for Chautauqua Co and Warren Co PA, and see who may help here, We have some very talented persons on board.

Vicki: Over the years I've contacted several churches in Warren and Chautauqua County to inquire about such records and have met with varied success. In Jamestown, one of my ancestors is listed in 1924 as being "gone without letter." Another is listed this way: "left by letter to Kidder United Brethren Church of Jamestown, NY in 1920." I've even found baptismal records as far back as 1865. This, however, is extremely rare. Some churches I contacted didn't even have records dating back to the 1920s. Many of these records have not been microfilmed - at least not to my knowledge. To locate such records I get hold of recent telephone book from the area and write directly to the church. If they have the time, they will almost always check the records for you. I've never come across one that would except any payment for the assistance they offered. Doug
In 1775, before the battle of Lexington, William Dawes, Paul Revere, and Samuel Prescott were dispatched to rouse the country, Dawes starting first, Revere was arrested and Prescott fell off his horse. Dawes was the only one to complete the mission This poem is a parody to Longfellow's, "The Midnight Ride of Paul Revere." It was written by Helen F. Moore, and published in the Century Magazine in 1896. The Midnight Ride of William Dawes I am a wandering, bitter shade, Never of me was a hero made; Poets have never sung my praise, Nobody crowned my brow with bays; And if you ask me the fatal cause, I answer only, "My name was Dawes" 'Tis all very well for the children to hear Of the midnight ride of Paul Revere; But why should my name be quite forgot, Who rode as boldly and well, God wot? Why should I ask? The reason is clear -- My name was Dawes and his Revere. When the lights from the old North Church flashed out, Paul Revere was waiting about, But I was already on my way. The shadows of night fell cold and gray As I rode, with never a break or a pause; But what was the use, when my name was Dawes! History rings with his silvery name; Closed to me are the portals of fame. Had he been Dawes and I Revere, No one had heard of him, I fear. No one has heard of me because He was Revere and I was Dawes. Actually, Dawes didn't make it to Concord either. When Revere was captured, Dawes got lost in the dark, strange countryside. The only one to complete the mission was Dr. Samuel Prescott, who was visiting his girlfriend in Lexington. She was the tavern owner's wife. Upon being discovered with her, he fled the tavern and met up with Revere on his way to Concord. The two were stopped by a British patrol. Revere was pulled from his horse, while Prescott escaped and made it to Concord. Maybe Who knows? http://colorpro.com/wmdawes/theride.html

Hi Please allow me this; One last Link to the War of 1812 http://members.tripod.com/~war1812/allbat.html In this is a list of battles, and one is http://members.tripod.com/~war1812/batcooks.html Battle of Cook's Mills This battle also known as the skirmish at Lyons Creek was the last battle fought on Canadian soil on or about October 20th 1814. Cooks Mill was owned by My Yokom family, Mrs Elizabeth Yokom COOK born ca 1799, PA, was widow Cook, very young, , and later became the wife of Thomas Alva Edison's Grandfather .Samuel Ogden Edison they married Sept. 5 1825 in Vienna, Elgin Co Ontario. She bore five EDISON children , Thomas is from Samuel Ogden Jr son of the first wife, Nancy Simpson. Elizabeth YOKOM'S brother Richard,born 1774 was my 4th Great Grandfather, Elizabeths father then brother, both named Isaac Jesse Yokom were the owners of the mill and farm, and it's still in the Yokom family today. The house was used by the Americans as a hospital , they buried the dead in the flower and vegetable gardens, later taken by I. Jesse Jr to the woods behind for reburial. When the Americans left they burned the house, but is has been rebuilt at least twice. Isaac Jesse Sr, born 1756, died in this period of 1812. There are markers all over the area detailing the events. This is part of MY interest in the War of 1812. The daughter of Richard YOKOM,( eldest bro of Elizabeth) Huldah YOKOM, born 1814, married in Crowland, Welland Ontario to my Benjamin F. PRATT born August 10, 1808 Their son Richard Edward Pratt,born April 18, 1832 married to Mary Ann Doan in Buffalo, (another saga,}but both were Canadian and returned to Canada. They came to Chautauqua Co after the Civil War, settling in the Ripley and Westfield area.Both are buried in Westfield Cemetery. all of their children are buried in Chautauqua Co, except one, in Erie Co PA somewhere. and I am still seeking him I have most Pratts, not all. There are several YOKOM in Chautauqua Co, and Erie Co PA, now, descendants of this family also but do not know it YET. Dee Dolores PRATT Davidson Chautauqua Co NY PS I have Thomas Alva Edisons family tree in my files if anyone is looking for him. This is fun, I had forgotten this til some one mentioned it again; Dee

Hi Dennis: Thank you for your reply. The Warren Co. Historical Society sent from the Kinzua Cemetery records: Wm. S. Marsh died 17 July 1877 age 68 yrs. Sarah, wife of Wm. S. died 16 May 1853 or 1851 Jonathan died 24 Jan. 1867 age 74 Alice, wife of Jonathan died 31 March 1848 age 47 Simeon Marsh died 22 October 1825 age 72 Sylvanus Marsh died 31 July 1848 age 60 I have a Rev. War record for Simeon Marsh. From it I worked out a family for Simeon Marsh b. 1753, d. 1825, m. Jane Cole 10 Sept. 1782 in Walpack, Sussex, NJ. Ch: Sylvanus b. 1788, Jonathan b. 1792, Benjamin b. 1785, Andrew, Eliphalet, Abraham, and Margaret b. 1800 who m. Andrew Merritt. She is on the 1850 census in Kinzua, Warren Co, with her mother Jane Marsh. I am still trying to figure out a family for Jonathan Marsh. My inquiry to Warren and McKean Cos. said that there were no wills or estate settlements for Jonathan March in 1867. I think his children might be: Mary Ann b. 1813, m. 1830 Jamon Beeman Hiram b. 1815 Eleanor b. 1822 , m.

Sorry to report that I do not have any information on Jonathan. He might have been connected to the family of William S. Marsh who was born at Farmington twp., Warren Co., PA. 09 July 1826. William S. Marsh was the son of Joseph and Ruth (Sheldon) Marsh. His paternal Grandparents were John and Phebe (Allen) Marsh, natives of New Jersey, who settled in what is now Farmington twp. in 1800. John Marsh, in 1803, taught the first school in Warren County, and in 1805, with his brother Hugh built the first school house in the county near the present site of Marshtown. He might also be connected to William L. Marsh who resided at Kinzua, Elk Twp. He was born 29 March 1826 at Little Valley, Cattaraugus Co., New York. In 1848 he came to Corydon, where in 1852 he married Mary Whitcomb, by whom he had a family of ten children. Hope this helps. You might also want to try going to the U.S. Genweb site, click on Pennsylvania and then McKean Co. and see what records they have. You just might get lucky. Best wishes, Dennis R.

Hi: Thank you Dennis for this good information. Does anyone have any information on this Jonathan Marsh mentioned in this town history? Gwen Boyer Bjorkman gwenbj@seanet.com -----Original Message----- From: R8459@aol.com [mailto:R8459@aol.com] Sent: Saturday, December 11, 1999 11:16 PM To: PAFOREST-L@rootsweb.com Subject: Place Names Corydon - A township and a village. Named for Corydon township in McKean county. As it has been impossible to track down how the McKean county township received it's name, it seems likely Corydon was adopted from Greek and Roman poetry, as this was the name of the shepherd in Theocritus's Idyls and Vergil's Eclogues, and became virtually standardized as the typical name for an enamored rustic. The boundry line between Warren and McKean counties was in dispute and by act of the legislature April 16, 1845, a commission was appointed to settle the matter. Andrew H. Ludlow of Warren and John Williams and Jonathan Marsh of McKean county constituted the commission with authority to establish the new line. On March 20, 1846, the new boundry having been established, part of Corydon township of McKean county became the newly-formed Corydon township of Warren county. The first settler was Philip Tome who came from Lycoming county in 1827 although he had resided briefly at Kinzua as early as 1815 and probably before that date. Tome was a famed hunter and interpreter for Chief Cornplanter and Governor Blacksnake for fifteen years. In 1854, with the aid of a relative, believed to have been Miss Juliet L. Tome, first teacher in the State school on the Cornplanter Indian Grant, he wrote Pioneer Life, or Thirty Years a Hunter. This is an excellent account of early hunting and thrilling experiences in northwestern Pennsylvania. The book was published at Buffalo, New York, on rather poor paper and copies are scarce today. The village of Corydon really boomed in 1881 with the grading of the Buffalo, New York & Philadelphia Railroad past the place. The business section was destroyed by fire in 1892. In the winter of 1918, an ice jam in the Allegheny River caused considerable damage to many houses in the town. With the building of the Kinzua Dam and Allegheny River Reservoir, Corydon was wiped off the map in 1965 in preparation for the waters of the dam.

I have been on this list for a long time..... This is just an interesting observation...... I live in MI. We have in my area several places with names like: Pine Grove Twp., Deerfield Twp., Columbia Twp, Jerico, Brownsvillle, Bear Lake(now Berlamont), Gobleville(now Gobles), Breedsville, and a lot of others .... I enjoy matching these places with the ancestors who I think brought them here. Michigan must have been settled by a lot of people from NY/PA who migrated here together. But I guess this follows right on down in history all acrossed the land.....It still makes me wonder who brought each particular name to MI. And how it was decided what to name each place. There is a little story regarding Bear Lake, MI. It is in the Bloomingdale Centenial Book compiled about theVan Buren County Area surrounding Bloomingdale. In the late 1800's one of the Prominant Women in the area thought the name Berl La Mont better described their small town. And the named was changed. I wondered exactly how this was accomplished. But the name has remained the same from that day to this. Have fun researching and enjoy the Holidays. Char in MI R8459@aol.com wrote: > Akeley - A village in Pine Grove township.
