Hi Geanellen, You have probably already seen this, but if not you might be interested in the two page summary on Cynthia Beal's family in the Vermont Families in 1791, v. 2, pp. 27-28. There is a large group of children born to her older brother Abel Beal and the name of the contributor of the information for this volume. Might it lead to some new clues??? I just happened to recognize the Beal surname from transcribing the Vermont volumes into my database about 8 or 9 years ago <g> Margaret Scheffler -----Original Message----- From: Geanellen Looking for information to connect my great grandmother ELIZA COFFEE/COFFEY;Mrs. Mondy;Mrs. Joseph Doty to her parents Samuel and Cynitha (BEALL) Coffee/Coffey. I have a deposition stating that Eliza is a sister to her brother William, but I need some type of concrete evidence that William is a son to his/their parents. I need this information for my DAR application. Eliza was born @ 1826 New york. according to census Died: 1903 in Alva, Woods Co. OK ...according to death records and obit..no mention of family 1st marriage was to Mondy in 1846, no name of parents on marriage record. Father: Samuel, can't find when or where he died. but must have been sometime before 1830 as the Mother Cynthia and some of the children went to Michigan by way of the Erie Canal and settled in Washtenaw Co. in the 1840 Census of Webster Twp she was listed under the oldest son, Samuel W. Coffey. so far have not been able to find a death record nor cemetery for Cynthia. totally appreciate and value everyones time in trying to help me with this request.
