His siblings were: WILLIAM, GEORGE, EUGENE, AUGUSTUS,JAMES, ANNA and FRANCES and possibly a WALTER. John P. wed a GENEVIEVE VERONICA GLEASON approx. 1908 in Lestershire. John P was my grandfather and I believe his father and siblings moved to Lestershire from or near Booneville, N Y to find work in E J Shoe Company. They may have earlier lived near Waterville, N Y. Believe the GLEASON's lived in South Binghamton. GENEVIEVE (b 1879 d 4/2/1914) had siblings: NELLIE, MAY,JULIA, MARGARET, JULIUS, WILSON JR., & LYDIA I would appreciate any information or suggestions available on how to track this Foley/Gleason family.

FULLER   --     Am searching for siblings, FULLER, James and Eunice. Eunice married a man by the surname of SMITH. In 1847, they both resided in Windsor, Broome county, New York. They had a sister named FULLER, Maria, who married in Oneonta, Otsego county, New York to William Mickle or Mickel, in December 1847. James and Eunice came from Windsor to attend Maria's wedding at the home of their mother, FULLER, Sarah Mrs. This FULLER line is supposedly descended from either FULLER, Samuel Dr., or FULLER, Edward, of the Mayflower Pilgrims. Would like to confirm this line.
