Emeline J. (Miller) Sittser b. 5-1-1815 d. 7-1892 at Owasco Lake, Auburn, NY.
Peter Sittser b. 1806 d. 1888 at Brutas/Throop, Cayuga Co., NY.
Peter married Emeline before 1840 at Brutas/Throop, Cayuga Co., NY.
Two children I have on record: Frank Leslie Sittser b. 8-16-1840; John Adams Sittser b. 3-20-1843
The family settled on the old Sittser farm near Auburn, Cayuga County, NY. They later settled on a farm near Owasco Lake.

My gr-gr-gr grandfather’s brother Thomas Barns married a Tyler—I believe her first name was Mary. They were buried at the Sittser cemetery. My gr-gr grandfather married a Sittser.

I believe we may have communicated before. Best of luck!! (You sent me a bunch of Community/Sittser Cemetery pictures.)

Hi

I'm looking for the the maiden name of Emeline J. Sittser.
The stone in the Community/Sittser Cemetery has the following information: "Mother; Emeline J. His Wife; 1815 - 1892. Father; Peter Sittser 1806 - 1888. The base on which the double stone rests says "SITTSER". The words "Mother" and "Father" are on the rounded top.

thank you

Hi Bernie

I'm going through my old research & getting rid of things.
I found the following:

On July 4, 1980, Evelyn Twining [ET] did research on Sittser Cemetery.
She references reseach done on cemetery by Crosby-Daniells [C-D] with no dates.
No idea which Auburn research room she found this list. I was introduced to her probly through Malcomb as a 'Tyler' researcher.

Things in " " are what are on your web site. She had some 'small stone' with initials & no dates that I have omitted.
take care
Kathi
