    1. [VTORANGE-L] RACKLEY and AYER family in Vershire
    2. Gary M. Green
    3. Would like to find gravesite of SARAH (AYER) RACKLEY and her parents, NATHANIEL AYER (probably d. Vershire), and DESIRE (WILLIAMS) AYER, (d. Vershire, 23 APR 1813). Nathaniel Ayer owned 100 acres in Vershire, "from Moses Morey, 2nd Lot, original right of Samuel King, Lot #70". This lot was granted to his son, Joseph Ayer, 13 APR 1806. On 9 MAY 1806, Nathaniel and "wife" received the land from Joseph and returned it to him with a note for $1000, with the stipulation that Joseph is to care for his parents, Nathaniel and Desire. Joseph sold the land 6 FEB 1819. Sarah's husband, PELETIAH RACKLEY, came to Western NY ca.1830, with some of his children, and was buried Evergreen Hill Cemetery, Corfu, Genesee Co., NY, 12 MAY 1835. [Gravestones exist forPeletiah, son Joseph, Joseph's wife, and Joseph's adopted son, Alonzo Post Rackley.] Sarah probably died before the move to NY, perhaps on the way to NY. In 1995, the minister in Vershire checked all of the gravestones in the cemetery by the church and found no RACKLEY or AYER graves. Are there other cemeteries in Vershire? How could I find information about them? [The Vershire town records have been checked.] Thank you very much for any help you can give. Gary Green 46 Franklin Street Westfield, NY 14787-1038
