A new listing has been added by Ancestry.com which includes a listing of cemetery inscriptions from New London, (CT) cemeteries. Since many early settlers of wayne Co came from New london, I thought readers might want to know that it is available, free of charge, for a period of time. For example, there are 36 "Stanton" entries. Website is: http://www.ancestry.com/search/rectype/inddbs/5564.htm You can go to Ancestry.com and work your way through their website or use your cut and paste feature to transfer the address. Happy hunting, Lee Woodmansee

Patty, thank you for posting the Bross marriage. A great uncle of mine, Frederick Brucher (son of Christian Brucher and Franziska Utegg) married Flora M. Bross in 1917 in Tusten, Sullivan Co., New York. About 1917 Flora was a dressmaker. Her parents were William Bross and Mary Lassley. I've heard that Bross was an old family name in Sullivan Co. Could her father William be the same William you mention? or is it more like to be his father/uncle? Her father was born about 1825 in New York. I do not have a complete list of their children so it may well be Flora was their last child, being born in 1872. The Brucher family is my Wayne County link. They came from Groß Umstadt, Starkenburg, Hessen-Darmstadt (nka Germany). This family trades borders often - I find them in Wayne Co., PA, Sullivan and Orange Co., NY. Thank you again for sharing, Happy Easter.

Today I finally managed to read an old letter that my Aunt sent me. It contains info on Chauncy Thomas's planned marriage to Margaret Bross. I haven't seen the date of the marriage listed anywhere - so thought I would share it in case anyone else is looking for it. The letter is dated Damascus, Sept 17, 1842. It was written by Chauncy Thomas - mailed to Mr & Mrs John Hankins - addressed Dear Brother and Sister. The letter is an invitation to the wedding. Chauncey writes "I am to going to be married on the fifth of Oct next and would most respectfully solicit the favor of your company on the occaions at Mr William Bross's in Ridgeway, Orange Co. It is not necessary for me to say who my intended is, as I presume you have already been informed." Hope this information is useful to someone. Patty

Marriage records were not kept in Pennsylvania before 1885. The only other possibilities are church records and newspaper marriage notices. ----- Original Message ----- From: "ruth" <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Wednesday, April 11, 2001 6:07 PM Subject: [PAWAYNE-L] Marriage lookup > Does anyone have access to marriage records in Wayne County around > 1879-1880?

Would anyone have access to marriage records for circa 1880 for Wayne County? She appears as age 7 in the 1870 census and has likely died or married by the 1880 census. Thanks Richard in FL

Lu, In case you didn't get a definitive answer, I checked the Historical Society and Levi A. Webster is buried in the Salem or Hamlin Cemetery in Hamlin.

Yes, the cemetery in Hamlin is know by various names - Salem, New Salem, Hamlin. The older part of the cemetery is on one side of the road and the newer on the other. ----- Original Message ----- From: "the dickey family" <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Friday, April 06, 2001 4:34 PM Subject: [PAWAYNE-L] Levi A.

RE: >From: [email protected] >I am looking for Levi Abel Webster >who died in Sterling on October 12, 1849 -- According to "The History of Sterling" (by Rev. Garford Flavel Williams), both Levi and his wife Martha Munn are buried in Salem Cemetery, which Norman seems to think is in Hamlin. (Someone on the list will know.) As children, Norman's mother and her siblings used to play in the remains of Levi's cabin (West Sterling) which was situated directly behind their farm (Smith).

Fred, I am EXTREMELY interested in Honesdale, that's where my people settled from Germany. Sue* ----- Original Message ----- Hello all The 1850 census data for Lathrop township, Susquehanna Co has been added to the data on the site listed at the end of this message. Perhaps someone can help me link the LORD families of Lathrop with those I have records for from Pike County. :-) I managed to find a few birth years for the TEWKSBURY family members on my database. Again perhaps someone can add to the links for the new family members. While I prefer to post complete township transcriptions, I also seem to be completing the smaller townships. Honesdale has almost 4000 in the census record. Is there a consensus on whether it would be appropriate to post that borough in 3 ro 4 "pieces". Happy searching. Fred -- _-_|\ Frederick W.
