Cindy- Thanks for this information. I plan to go to North Creek this summer. Maybe I'll be able to make a discovery from the old stones at Union Cemetery or Bates. Who was Roxy Downs? -Who is this lost child of Thomas Roblee--are questions I'll work to resolve. Gloria Gloria Waldron Hukle P.O.

Was Roxey the brother of Elijah Downs of Granville, NY? In 1850, he was living in Granville, age 67, born in CT. In 1820, which would have been about the time Roxey and Luther married, Elijah Downs was the only Downs head of household in Granville. It appears that he was 26-45. Two adult woman (one 26-45 and one over 45) were in the home, as well as several children. She may have been sister to Isaac Downs. Milo R. Roblee indicates that his great-grandfather Downs, given name unknown to him, had two children: Roxey and Isaac. His great grandmother married second a Mr. Gates and had two children: Harvey and Nancy Gates. See my other message about Huldah. We do not know what the name of the daughter is, nor do we know what became of mother and child.

Roxy Downs remains my gggrandmother. Still I know little about Roxy Downs and wondering if anyone else out there also shares Roxy. Also Thomas speaks of his first child, a daughter, that he cuts out of his will...saying that he provided for her education and care and because of Hulda, he did not have the comfort of seeing his lst child. Does anyone know the name of this child? I'm wondering if the lst born took the name of her step-father when Hulda remarried. With so many Roblee and Waldron in my Warren County lineage I can't help wondering what happened to this little girl. I also have another mystery, but this has to do with the name Morehouse and I've been thinking that perhaps one of you may have a clue. Not long ago I discovered that my graandmother, Ella Morehouse, who was the daughter of George Morehouse and Caroline Delaba, had 6 sisters and a brother, John. All of these children were born between l883 and l900 Warren County, New York. I have dates of birth, death, marriage. Three were married -the surnames, Millington, Leon Howard (married Esther) George Putnam, married Nancy Jane, and John Beadnell-Ida Morehouse. Does anyone know of these people or their children? Of course, answers many times only bring along more questions. Gloria Waldron Hukle P.O.
