Excuse me all to pieces, but my Maiden name happens to come from Nathan
Phinney BULLOCK b. 10 Oct 1839, Ephrath, Montgomery Co, NY. He married
Jane Ann LIVINGSTON, b. 26 Oct 1844, Cobbleskill, Scohari Co, NY. The
marriage took place in White Plains, NY date and county unknown, but
first child born Herbert John BULLOCK b. 26 Oct 1867. Is this Not
pertinent to research in NY state???

I am looking for a marriage date, and for the parents of both Nathan
BULLOCK and Jane LIVINGSTON (who happen to be my paternal ggrandparents.
Also I do not know how many of their children were born in NY, or how
and when they (at least some of the 6 children) came to WI, when, or by
what route. I do know the names and birth/death dates of the children,
just not the Where.

So if you are upset, try the delete key? I am not into discord nor am I
a participant in rude flaming. Perhaps you would like to rethink your
position and comments?
in peace,
Randy
