Dear Jeanne, Thank you for the information and please excuse my tardy reply. This is certainly the same family. I have some additional but sometimes differing data.

Sarah died in 1893. > Georgiana - born in 1842, married John Logan. In 1865 census seems to be the wife of Henry WILSON, with 2 sons, George & Edwin. My gr-aunt remembered "Aunt Georgiana" married to a FOGG; in 1870 census there is a Georgianna FOGG (age 28 = b.1842) and Caleb FOGG (age 59) with children Duane & Cora FOGG and George & Edwin WILSON. > John - born in 1845, died in 1885. > James - born and died in 1849. This is the child I'm missing. > Lorenzo - born in 1851 and died in 1888. > Luella - born in 1853, married Warren Button. There is a daughter and son-in-law, Lewellen (b. Jan 1855) and George FROLISK in Warren & Lorana STEARNS household in 1900 census. > Francelia - born in 1855 and died in 1860. 1855 census lists an Ambrosia (age 3 = b.1852), who doesn't show up in any later census. > Alta Jane - born in 1860, married John Miller. My gr-aunt remembered Aunt Elta/Eltsie who was married to Uncle Ferd. But it was my gr-gr-grandmother Katherine STEARNS (b. 1863; d.1887), Warren and Lorana STEARNS' 9th & last child, who married John W. MILLER (b. 1855; d.1913). They are buried in the Dugway Cemetery, Albion, Oswego Co., NY. > I have more information about the Stearns line preceding Warren A. Stearns, > that is . . his parents, grandparents, etc. Please ask if you need more > information. I would like any further informtion you have on this family. My gr-aunt said that this family went back to Isaac STEARNS who came over on the "Arabella" in 1630. I would also be happy to send you more complete data from my research, if you wish. Thanks very much for your reply, and once again please excuse my delayed response. **************************************************************** Edward J.
