Mary Jean, Many thanks for your reply.You may have hit on something as the people i'm interested in are from the Thompson area. I guess the smart thing to do is post all the info i have.This may help anyone that can help me,and anyone else who may be looking for the same people. Here is what i have: Lorenzo D. Cleaveland(my gggrandfather) b:2-22-1819,Jackson,Pa. Spouse: Maria M.Cooke b:12-13-1827, Oneonta,NY. M;9-7-1845------Where? He d:4-16-1904,Kirkwood,NY. She d: ?? Child: Della Lucretia b:12-10-1858,Thom- pson Run,Pa. She married , William Colander Tanner b:10-23-1862, Gibson,Pa. [email protected] Run. He d:1-26-1946,Binghamton,NY. She d:11-14-1943,Binghamton,NY. Child: Mytle BellMarie Tanner(my grand- mother) b:5-17-1898,Lakeside,Pa. I have'nt been able to locate either Lake- side or Thompson Run on the Pa.map. Many if not all removed to southern Broome Co. Note: William C. Tanner was a farmer and a teacher at Lakeside?Academy. I have a record(note pad) for late 1880's,where he recorded the various prices he paid for things such as shoe repair,shoes,and hair- cut's,etc as well as what he was paid for sewing,mending,ironing,etc (at the sch- ool??)
