This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/2AC.2ACI/1078.1 Message Board Post: I am researching this same line. I live not too far from Otsego Co. and have done some research at the historical society there. I too have seen Lemuel Sergent's will. That is the only reference I have seen to Pelatiah. The other strange thing is that there is another daughter of Lemuel Sergent mentioned in the histories of Milford. She is said to have married Barnabas Bates (Tamer Bates' brother). However, she is not mentioned in the will. I have visited Barnabas' grave and he is buried with Elizabeth Bates (his wife), but the history books. I definitely think we can help each other if even we just eliminate sources that have already been searched by one of us. Hopefully we can work together. Contact me!
