This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Surnames: STOWELL, MINNICK Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/QAQBAEB/27.28.54.178.183.184.186.1.1 Message Board Post: Matt, Yes, I am very interested in additional information for this family, and thank you for the last name of Elizabeth. I realized that I had not read enough of the Rootsweb posts prior to my own, because I located the same information about Elizabeth and Rhoda MINNICK, but that is all I have "found" so far. As I said, this is not my family, but I am trying to research it for a friend, and I will certainly pass on any information you can provide. Do you happen to know a source for Eliphalet STOWELL born 1775 in Massachusetts as I have read on some posts? The 1850 census of Antwerp, Jefferson Co., NY lists his birthplace as VT and his age as 64, which would make him born ca 1785. I know sometimes the person talking with the census enumerator was not always sure of dates and places for all members of the household (or name spelling for that matter!), so the census may be wrong. I would like to know your thoughts. Much thanks!
