This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Surnames: SCHOFIELD, CROSSLEY Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/ZiFBAEB/310 Message Board Post: Looking for connections to Edmond/Edmund Schofield b. abt 1805/1806 (census) who married Betty Crossley in 1820s, probably in Rochdale, Eng and had: James, Thomas, Robert T. (my ancestor); Cornelius; Mary, Hannah/Anna; Elizabeth; Cornelius, Edmond, Jr., and John. The last two died young and Betty died July of 1847 in Rochdale. Soon after, Edmond wrote a letter to her brother, Robert Crossley, in Lowell, MA and said they were coming to America. Edmond and the eldest boys were spinners and weavers. The family, less James, the eldest, is on the 1850 Essex Co MA census and then they moved to Nevada Co CA in about 1853. If anyone thinks they descend from this family or knows of any of the ancestors....please let me know. Send emails direct as I seldom get on-line as we live in our RV. Bonny Schofield McDaniel
