From information on the death certificate of her daughter, I have come to
believe that Nancy Samantha ALLEN was born in Jefferson Co NY. She was born
June 16, 1836. I believe her father to be Hopestill (possibly George) ALLEN,
that removed his family to Wisconsin around 1845. He had at least three, and
maybe more children born in NY before they moved. He and his wife, also a
Nancy, but last name unknown, are listed as being born in CT in the 1850
Wisconsin census, that lists their children as Evaline 34, Mary E. 19 and
Nancy 14 all born in NY. Nancy Samantha married a Joseph B. OLDS born July
26, 1830, again listed from Jefferson Co NY, a wedding date of Dec 16, 1858
with both children born in Wisconsin.
Do you know of any way for me to get any proofs of Nancy's birth, because
I also have a bit of information listing her birth place as York, NY and
I can not find any York in Jefferson Co.
Thank you for any help.

Seeking information about Benjamin Allen who married (1) Amy Wood, (2) Mary
Rawson, and his family. He was living at Watertown by 1810. Believed to
have died there about 1815. Also need information about his son, Ira Allen
born 1791 in Vermont. Ira Allen married probably at Watertown between 1816
to 1819, Hannah Waters and lived there before moving to Ohio and Indiana.
Need their marriage place and date. One of Benjamin Allen's daughters,
Rebecca, married Joseph Hinds. Oscar Hinds believed to have been living in
Watertown prior to 1930 is believed to be a descendant of Benjamin Allen.

I am working on family history of the Angells. Some of the last names in
the Gazetter list them as Angels. My great-great-great grandfather,
George Angell drowned in 1827 in the town of Lyme, Jefferson, NY.
I am trying to find out if George Angell was maybe married twice. I have
him listed as married to a Polly Newell. But now I have found a George
Angell who was married to a Rhobe Payne. My George would have drowned in
the town of Lyme-Point Peninsula in the year of 1827. Anyone have ideas
on where to look as to whom George was married?

My name is Diane L. (Angell) Woodard. My gggg-grandfather, George
Angell was in Pt. Pennsula-Lyme, Jefferson County in the 1820s. He drowned
in Lake Ontario in 1827 while going to Sacketts. He had at least ten
children according to the book,"Follow the North Shore". We do have a
problem on just who his wife was at the time, it was either Polly Newell or
Rhobe Payne. Cannot find any info on this. Got any ideas?? My
ggg-grandfather was Samuel Angell and he had a brother by the name of
David. Was wondering if the David already on Early Settlers list would be
one and the same. Have a lot of information on the following descendants if
anyone would be interested. Thank-you, Diane. Own e-mail address is:

Looking for information on the ancestors of Sally Arnold, b.c. 1822 in NY,
d. 1898 in Alexandria, Jefferson Co., NY, m. John Shields of England. Her
father was supposedly Peleg Arnold whose mother was Phebe Dyer.
By 1820, Peleg Sr. & Peleg Jr., plus Peleg Sr's brother Henry, and their
brother Edward, plus Edward's son Samuel are listed in the census as residents
of Jefferson Co.
These brothers are listed as children of Caleb Arnold and Phebe Dyer in the
William Arnold Memorial (which fits the family tradition of Phebe Dyer as
Sally's grandmother), but the William Arnold Memorial has conflicting
information regarding the recorded Peleg (b.1770/1771?) descendants of Caleb
Arnold and Phebe Dyer. It lists their son Peleg as dying in 1816 -- 6 years
before Sally was born.
Can anyone help me out on this one? Any information -- even on other Pelegs
to help me keep them all straight -- would be most appreciated! : )
Thanks in advance!

Do you have pieces to add to this puzzle?
Family of Samuel BARROWS Jr.
Samuel BARROWS, Jr , son of Samuel BARROWS and Barbara ANDERSON, was born
in 1764 at Middleboro, Plymouth, Massachusetts. He and Azubah Ransom,
daughter of John RANSOM and Deborah LESTER, were married in 1794. He died
in 1842 at Russell, St. Lawrence, New York.
He saw military service in 1780 in Capt. Abner BOURN's company of
Massachusetts militia. He was head of household on the census of 1810 at
Woodstock, Windsor County, Vermont. By 1819 he lived at Hounsfield,
Jefferson County, New York, where he was head of household on the census in
1820 and 1830. He bought property at Hounsfield, Jefferson County, New
York, from Elisha CAMP in 1831, and sold it to Rev. Hezekiah FIELD in 1833.
Azubah RANSOM was probably born between 1765 and 1775. She bought property
at Williamstown, Town of Pamelia, Jefferson County, New York, in 1846, and
sold it in 1848. Her date of death and place of burial are unknown.
Children of Samuel BARROWS, Jr. and Azubah RANSOM were:
i. Deborah BARROWS was born on 24 Mar 1795 at Woodstock, Vermont. She and
Elder Shubael LITTLE, son of George LITTLE and Esther Cole WHITTAKER, were
married on 4 Apr 1819 at Hounsfield, Jefferson County, New York, by Rev.
Hezekiah FIELD. She died on 22 May 1855 at age 60. She was buried at
Sanford's Corner Cemetery, Le Ray, Jefferson County, New York.
Based on the US Census records, there were probably three other children:
ii. Male, born 1796-1800.
iii. Male, born 1804-1810.
iv. Female, born 1810-1815.

I did find this John PECK in the 1810 and 1820 census in Rodman. In the 1820
and 1825 census I found my ancestor's father, William PECK. By 1830, both
John and William were not shown in the census, probably because John was
dead by the time of the census.
I would like to make contact with other Jefferson County PECK researchers. I
also found evidence of the following PECK's, but need help in determining
exactly who they were (except for John PECK.)

organised there Nov. 20, 1824." according to a book titled, "Seven Generations of the
Descendants of Aquila and Thomas Chase." comp. by John Carrol Chase and George Walter
Chamberlain, Leroy, N. H. 1928.
Would you have this book in your library or know of anyone who does?
'Call number in Newberry Library, Chicago # 7 03912 (not exactly sure of call
number--print is hard to read. The 7 is clear next # is not 3912 is clear.)
I am still searching the same family but new information tells me that
Parker Chase and Abigail Chase Travioli were sister and brother not father and
daughter. I am seeking confirmation of information. Source says they were the
children of Abraham Chase and Abigail Redford Cogswell who were trustees in
the church and go back to Aquila Chase.
I hope I am not too wordy.
Thanks in advance.

in Vermont. He was married first and had two children, Ezra (c. 1824) and
Delana (c. 1827). He then married Diana Anderson (c. 1804 - 3 May 1873).
They had 5 children, James Duane (1835-1916), Wilson Marshall (1838-1905),

DAVIS
I am looking for the parents of Morgan Henry Davis who acording to notes my
mother had was born July 23, 1828 in Watertown, N. Y. He married a Catherine
Bullock Jan. 1, 1852 in Warren Co., Athol Twp. N. Y. where she was born Jan.
6, 1835 to Daniel and Letti Bullock. Morgan H. Davis is listed in the 1860
census with Catherine and Ella, his age is listed as 29 but Catherine's and
Ella's is correct. The census lists his place of birth as Warren Co. The
next information I have is the 1860 Methodist Episcopal Church Annual
Conference minutes page 211 which list Morgan Davis as being admitted as a
minister. The following Annual Conference minutes lists him through 1871. I
know he was in Whitesville, N. Y. in 1869 when my Grandfather Fredrick Morgan
Davis was born on July 9th. I know that Morgan H. then moved his family to
Hamilton, Ontario where he held charges until he returned to the USA and held
the charge in Millington, Michigan where he died on Dec. 18, 1883. Morgan H.
also had at least one brother named Herbert who my mother remembered meeting.
I would appreciate it if you could give me some assistance in finding out who
his parents were.

DESHAW/DISHAW/DESCHAMPS
Margaret "DESHAW" was born in New York in Feb, 1853. Her sister, Emily
"DESHAW" was born in 1868 across the river in Lonenburgh, ONT. Joel
"DESHAW" was their brother (don't know birthplace) and two other sisters
- one born in Lunenburgh and one born in NY. I'm making an assumption
that the NY part of the family was in Jefferson Co. since it is the
closest. Margaret married Golise(sp?) Lawson in 1874 (I know not

GROWER, SCHWAB, SCHRADER
Hi. I live in Alaska and come from NY. My husband's family is from the
Rome Utica area. He was born in Rome. His relative John George Grower came
from Wittenburg Germany in the 1830-50s. He first went to Cape Vincent, NY.
How can I find out if there is information in town about how he got there?
It is interesting because my family is Schwab and Schrader from Utica. They
were also German and I came across some mention of Cape Vincent with them.
I would like to know who came with Grower and if his wife died in Germany?
Who were his parents? A tall order. But a Rome Newspaper article places
him in Cape Vincent first.
Thanks
All the Germans seem to come around the same time. Cape Vincent seems
awfully far from the big east coast ports.

Vincent NY. I have just bare info on the family. I don't know if his wife
came with him. I don't know what the girl's name was. I can't seem to find
the ship they came on or how they got here. I would like to get in touch

family. We are now in Alaska and it is hard to research from here, although

Nellie is the old gal that was a resident of Watertown in later years and was
called "Witch of Watertown" because of her eccentricities then she is my wife's
grandfather's sister or half-sister as we understand it...His name is
Maurice Helmer and although quite old now, he is still alive and living and
in Watertown...
Dollinger - This is my name and my great grandparents owned the Dollinger
Hotel in Alexandria Bay...My great grandfather left her and the area to move
to Rochester area and she remained in Alex Bay until her death in the mid to
late 1960's...
My grandfather (Wallace Dollinger) lived his later years and died on
Wellesley Island in the late 1980's...He also lived in Watertown and also
owned a gas station on Wellesley Island (above Anchor Motor Freight) when my
father was a child...
Any info that can be provided would be greatly appreciated...

According to family records, my gg grandfather [HINES, Henry Harrison]
was born in WATERTOWN NY 5 Jan 1817. He is believed to have married
first in the USA (Watertown??). He subsequently moved to Hamilton,
Ontario, CANADA, where he married for the second time and eventually
died [13 Jul 1901].
Any help in locating information would be greatly
appreciated.
HOAG
Henry Ashby Metcalf was Union soldier, assigned to A Co., 10th Heavy Artillery. He was a
fifer and I have a photo of him and an unknown drummer, both in full regalia. Henry Ashby
Metcalf was married to a Hannah (?) by which they had several kids. She died in 1873 and
he married Alice Mae Hoag. I have her photo as well. I have no information
regarding Alice Hoag's lineage.
Would appreciate anything you can do to help.
I'll happily e-mail copies of photos if you would find them interesting or
useful.

HOLLOWAY, METCALF
I am researching my family tree. My great grandfather, William H. Metcalf,
was born
at Sackets Harbor. His father was Henry Ashby Metcalf. I have a photo of a
Lib Holloway, who allegedly was Keeper of the Ships at Sackets Harbor,
reportedly the first woman to hold that position. The photo, exposed sometime
between 1880-1910, at I.S. Hawke, Hubbard block, Watertown, NY, shows a woman about
70-80 years old. The photo's inscription said she was the great aunt of my great
grandfather, William H. Metcalf. Any information on Lib Holloway? I'd certainly
appreciate any assistance. Also, Henry Ashby Metcalf was Union soldier,
assigned to A Co., 10th Heavy Artillery. He was a fifer and I have a photo of

terribly clear. Please bear this in mind and leave my query open to

I know that the family came from the Clayton/Fisher's Landing area, and
before that Alexandria, Thousand Island Park, St.Lawrence Park and
Watertown have been mentioned in years past
Perhaps someone will see a familiar name and help me decipher this puzzle

LAFARGE, BINSSO
I am looking for information on John de LaFarge/LaFarge who arrived in
Jefferson County about 1824 and claimed ownership of Penet Square. He
subdivided and sold the land to farmers, but was not loved a whole lot
because the squatter "catfishers" thought it was already their land.
He built a house which he abandoned on Perch River when the "Catfishers"
of Penet Square kept shooting at it. He then built a Mansion which, I
believe, still stands in ruins. He was also the first postmaster at
LaFargeville prior to 1828. I have information he was a Napoleonic
soldier from Havre, France who had resided in New Orleans before going to
Jefferson Cty. He married Louisa Binnso d/o Dr. John Binsso of
Watertown. They left Jefferson County and moved to NYC 1837-1840.
I would appreciate any information on the de LaFarge/LaFarge family.

MANLEY, GOODRICH
I have a Bible from 1812 inscribed "Property of Lydia Goodrich" that
contains an obituary of the "youngest son of Merrick A. and Irene
Manley" of Hounsfield. I am trying to determine the relationship
between the two families.
In the early 1800's, Bailey Goodrich, previously of Wethersfield,
Connecticut, and Sandisfield, Massachusetts, moved to Jefferson Co., NY,
and records indicate that he brought with him four daughters: Eunice,
Polly, Theodotia and Lydia. Eunice married George Eckert and Lydia, a
spinster, lived out her days on their farm in the town of Orleans.
Does anyone know what happened to the sisters Theodotia and Polly
(probably also called Mary)??? I believe that one of them may have
married Asa Manley, of the town of Hounsfield, Jefferson Co., NY, whose
family was also previously of Wethersfield, CT, and Sandisfield, MA.
Asa Manley was the father of Merrick A. Manley of that town. Asa's
daughter, Emeline, b. 1810, married Robert Washburn, of Hounsfield, and
they had children named Theodore and Lydia.
Thanks!

MARTIN
Searching for information on Albert King MARTIN. He was from Antwerp,
NY and was most likely born around 1880. In 1903 he married Pearl Mae
Harris of Point Peninsula, Jefferson Co. She was born 6/11/1881 and
died in January of 1981. She is buried in the North Watertown
Cemetery. Her parents were Lonson Dyer Harris (b.6/8/1856
d.8/21/1936) and Effie E. Orchard (b.1/27/1892 d.8/24/1935). They had
three children that survived to adulthood, Charles Lonson, Ray Bert
and Paul Clifford. Albert worked for the railroad, probably the NY
Central. In 1915 he deserted his family and we believe went to
Pennsylvania. We do know he had a brother or brother-in-law that was
a Jefferson Co. sheriff around 1930. From the 1890 Child's Gazetteer
I found a John Martin and a Samuel Martin that both lived in Antwerp
and had grandchildren named Albert that were close to the right age.
Any information on locating him and his ancestors is greatly
appreciated.

OLDS, ALLEN
From information on the death certificate of her daughter, I have come to
believe that Nancy Samantha ALLEN was born in Jefferson Co NY. She was born
June 16, 1836. I believe her father to be Hopestill (possibly George) ALLEN,
that removed his family to Wisconsin around 1845. He had at least three, and
maybe more children born in NY before they moved. He and his wife, also a
Nancy, but last name unknown, are listed as being born in CT in the 1850
Wisconsin census, that lists their children as Evaline 34, Mary E. 19 and
Nancy 14 all born in NY. Nancy Samantha married a Joseph B. OLDS born July 26,
1830, again listed from Jefferson Co NY, a wedding date of Dec 16, 1858 with
both children born in Wisconsin. I have no other information on Joseph OLDS
in the way of parents or siblings. Do you know of any way for me to get any
proofs of Joseph's birth, because I also have a bit of information listing his
birth place as North Whiney, NY and I can not find that anywhere in NY.
I can't help but wonder if they meant North Wilna in Jefferson Co.

PRESTON
I am seeking any information on the family of Jeremiah PRESTON and his
wife (Sophia?) who were located in Brownville, Jefferson Co., NY in the
1820 census. Jeremiah PRESTON would have been born between 1780-90 and
his wife between 1794 and 1800. The 1820 census shows a family of 5
children. I believe the youngest of the daughters might have been named
Sophronia Preston, born about 1817 while the younger two sons might have
been named Levi PRESTON and Jeremiah PRESTON (Jr.). These sons may have
been twins, both born about 1818.
In the 1830 census, this family is located in Erie Co., PA with four
more sons added, the oldest of this group named James J. PRESTON, born
about 1822. I have not been able to locate this family after 1830
although I believe Sophronia and her three brothers that are named above
remained in northwestern PA until after the 1850s.
I have not been able to identify the parents of my gr-gr-gr grandmother
Sophronia Preston, born in NY abt 1817, who seems to fit well into this
family and their migration from NY to PA and her marriage to Joseph
Shackleford KEAN in 1835. Any help is much appreciated.

I'm researching a James ROGERS who brought his son Philip ROGERS (b. 15
Aug 1812 in Co Louth, Ireland) to Watertown, Jefferson Co, NY, USA as a
child (sometime between 1812 and 1832).
James' wife was Catherine McGREGOR and other possible children were sons
Michael and/or Milton. Phil and his brothers left Watertown about 1832
for Chicago, IL. James and Catherine may be buried near Watertown.
They were probably Roman Catholic.
More info is on my webpage: http://www.avana.net/~mhook

RUPP
I am searching for information on the family of George Rupp. He married
on 28 Oct 1884. His wife's name was Elizabeth. I have reason to
believe her maiden name was Drexel. She was born in Quebec, but I think
she may have belonged to the family of Charles Drexel who appears on the
1860 Jefferson Co. census.
George and Lizzie's first child, Fredrick Rupp was born on 27 Sept. 1885
in Watertown. There was a daughter, Pauline who may have been born
there also.
George and Lizzie moved to Rochester, Monroe Co, NY by 1892.
Does anyone have any information about where George came from, or
confirmation that Lizzie was a Drexel? I have some information about
the family after moving to Rochester.
I would be willing to do research in Monroe, Wayne or Ontario Counties
in exchange for someone who would do Jefferson County research for me.

SHELEY
Seeking the ancestry of Martin SHELEY, born 1756 in Philadelphia, PA.
According to his Revolutionary War pension file, he enlisted at Albany, NY
in April 1778 in Capt. James Dixon's Co., Col. Hay's Regt. He also served in
Capt. DeGraff's Co., Col. Yates' regiment for one year. He was discharged 1
Jan 1781.
Martin SHELEY went from Philadelphia, PA to New York and then to Albany and
to Danube, Herkimer Co., NY, finally going to the Town of Alexandria. His
wife's name is unknown, but a list of his children is given in his pension
application:
Jane WHITMAN, Brownville, aged 50 years, 28 Feb 1833
John, Alexandria, aged 48 years 1 June 1833
James, Theresa
Katherine, Springfield, Otsego Co., NY
Martin, Orleans, NY
Fanny, Alexandria, NY
Richard, Alexandria, NY
There is a cemetery marker for Martin SHELEY in Oakwood Cemetery, Theresa.
However, it is doubtful he is actually buried there, as he died 12 Mar 1840
in Theresa, well before the Oakwood cemetery was started.

I am looking for a Job SHERMAN who married Susan Unknown. He is found on Wolfe Island
Ontario in 1851, owning land, and in 1861 with his family. I know Job is a common name
among SHERMANs but have yet to connect to the Job from Wolfe. "This" Job was born about
1788 in the USA and maybe father of my GGGM Philene SHERMAN. There is also a
Parthenia/Parthena SHERMAN (another common Sherman name) on Wolfe at the same time as
Job. Its possible she is Job's sister - born about 1795 and buried Wolfe 1870. Maybe your
Sherman line might have a connection since many Wolfe Islanders came from or went to
Jefferson County.
Thanks for any info you can provide.

SNOW
This is a "long shot", but I have to try...
Please, do you have any information, other than what is printed in the
pioneer biography on the web site, on John Snow, or his parents, siblings,
aunts, uncles? There are a gazillion John Snows in NY/New England, but
there is circumstantial evidence that he may be related to one I am trying
to trace. My John Snow ancestor had a Mary Cook (born in Canada) for
second wife, and is supposed to be the father of Harvey (my ancestor, ?born
in NY, known to be living in Vermont in 1850) and Orson Snow. Orson Snow
(?born in NY) married Polly Grout, daughter of Elijah Grout, another person
on the Jefferson Co. pioneer list. Eli Grout, father also Elijah, married
a Mary E. Snow, born Dec. 1833 in Jefferson Co., and who was the daughter
of another Snow, James and Mary Davy Snow. James and Mary both died in
Jefferson Co., date unknown, probably mid to late 1800's. Some Snow and
Grout families came out to Wisconsin together in the late 1840's, and on to
Minn. in the 1870's.
My John Snow is not the John Snow of the pioneer biography; mine was born
in Mass. in 1764, but I can't find him after that, and the only clue I have
is 2nd wife (Cook) born in Canada, and the association with Grouts.
I would like any additional information you may have, in resources readily
available to you, on Snow and Grout families in Jefferson Co. I would be
happy to pay any copying or other costs, if needed.
Thank you, Marie

VAN SCHAICK
I am trying to find the parents of Elias Van Schaick b. 5 Jan 1814 and
his wife Ephia (not sure of maiden name) b. 18 Oct 1820. Both are from
Cape Vincent and belive were married there. In 1839 Elias and Ephia
left Cape Vincent and settled in Michigan. The Van Schaick family are
descendents from the Van Schaick island, Cohen, (Cohoes?) NY. I am interested
in communicating with descendents in Jefferson County.

Looking for my 4th great grandparents Frederick and Abigail (Shiver)

Can anyone help me please ?

WHEELER, EDMUNDS
I'm looking for parents of JOHN WHEELER, b. sometime in the 1790's, probably
in NY. He married DIANA EDMUNDS, b. June 6, 1798, daughter of CHRISTOPHER
EDMUNDS & DIANA BALLARD (parents of Diana Ballard were ??). John & Diana were
living in Ellisburg, Jefferson Co. abt. 1820 or so, according to a diary entry
by Christopher Edmunds. They had at least seven children, (probably nine) all
born in NY: DIADEMA, REBECCA, AMANDA, CORDELIA, LOUISA (ELIZA),
MEHITABLE & ALANSON. John & Diana came to Berrien Co. Michigan abt 1840. In the
1850 census for Mich., Diana is listed with their son Alanson. I assume John had
died, because I have not been able to find him again. He was supposedly a
lumberman.
Thank you!

WHIPPLE, FLANSBURG, ALLEN, FOLKETT
Seeking information about gr. grandparents Alice
Isabell Flansburg. b 7/4/1855 possibly near Jefferson
CO NY, m 1776 to Charles A. Whipple, also born possibly
near Jefferson Co. NY 4/9/1854. Need birthplace, and
their parents' birthplace and marriage information.
Alice's parents are William Flansburg and Mary Folkett
Flansburg, born in NY, and Charles's parents are Russell
Whipple and Mary Allen Whipple born in NY. He had a
sister Lillian York of Medford Oregon who survived his
death in 1937. This information came from birth
certificate of Charles and Alice's son Arthur, born
1886 in Galesburg Illinois, and from Alice and Charles
death registry and death certificates and their obits.
Obits for both Alice and Charles say they both moved to
Illinois in 1856, however no census information can be
found for Whipple in Knox Co or surrounding counties in
Illinois. The Flansburgs show on 1860 census in Knox
Co. but never again. Alice and Charles and their
children Walter, Daisy, Leonard, Arthur, Otho, and John
Whipple moved to MInnesota in 1897 and Alice died there
in 1918, and Charles in 1937.
In the 1860 Illinois census, Flansburg family is
listed as William age 46, Mary age 40, Ester age 18,
John age 16, Francis age 14, Arthur age 12, Lydia age
9, Mary J age 7 and Alice Isabella age 4, all born in
NY.
Family record lists Charles Whipple family as Russell
G. Whipple, Mary Allen Whipple, both born NY, Sementha
Whipple b 1848 NY, Sophia A. Whipple B 1852 NY, Charles
A. Whipple born 1854 NY, Edwin R. Whipple Born 1856
ILLinois, Andrew Tuttle Whipple B 1858 Ill, Mary N.
Whipple B 1861 NY, Lillian A. Whipple born 1863, Ill,
and Daisy P. Whipple b 1868, Ill.
Appreciate any scrap of information can be found since
all these folks can not be found on any census
following 1860, or death or marriage registry in
ILLinois, MInnesota, or Iowa. Can not pursue further
family genealogy research without information re their
parents birth places, and those parents
names/information.
Thanks!!!

WHITTIER
I am interested in locating information about David Whittier, Sr., of

Revolutionary War, and died in 1815, buried, I believe, in Carpenter Cemetary.
I have no information about his forebears, and would like to locate that,
as well as his children's fortunes.
He had several children, one of which, Jonathan, was a great (several
times) grandfather of mine.
Nathan Easton married a Whittier, and settled near Depauville. I would also
like to find out more about his family. (My grandmother was one of his
children; my mother was born in the house there in Depauville.)
Thank you for your consideration,

WOOD
I am seeking the parents and other ancestors of Catherine WOOD who
wed Allen CHAMBERLAIN (born 8 Feb 1816 Ellisburgh, son of John D.
CHAMBERLAIN Sr. and Dolly ALLEN) of Ellisburgh Twn., Jefferson Co.,
NY; they evidently had a single child Charles CHAMBERLAIN born 6
April 1856 in Ellisburgh.
Catherine might be considerably younger than Allen, since he was age
40 when their son was born. Allen died 15 October 1858 in Ellisburgh
when their son Charles was only 2½ years of age. Did Catherine re-
marry, and if so whom? When and where did she die?
Could Catherine be related to the Wood family of Woodville, Jefferson
Co? What exact date did the marriage take place?
Any help in the solution of these questions would be greatly
appreciated.
Sincerely,
Elbert

WRIGHT
I have recently discovered that I share ancestors with the JESSE
WRIGHT family of Rodman, New York (c. 1827) and would be interested in
family extensions. Here is my "connecting" information.
JESSE WRIGHT (Deacon John/Deacon Josiah */John*/John*/ (* = common
ancestor)
JESSE WRIGHT was born August 11, 1753, in Woburn, Middlesex County, MA;
and died 1827 in Rodman, Jefferson County, New York. He married LYDIA
PARKER August 4, 1772 in Woburn, Middlesex County, Massachusetts (p.
123), daughter of JOSIAH PARKER.
NEHGR - Volume 37 - January 1883 THE WRIGHTS OF WOBURN
He was in the military service under Capt. Wyman, 1778 (Sewall's WOBURN,
577) and removed to Packersfield, New Hampshire, where, on August 27,
1785, and August 12, 1792, Samuel Thompson, Esq. of Woburn, visited him.
January 4, 1799, during very cold weather, Mr. Jesse Wright and wife
lodged with the diarist Thompson at Woburn.
DAR LINEAGE BOOKS
JESSE WRIGHT (1753-1827) served in Capt. Jesse Wyman's Company of
Woburn Militia at Bunker Hill. He was born in Woburn, Massachusetts;
died in Rodman, New York.
Children of JESSE WRIGHT and LYDIA PARKER:
JOSIAH WRIGHT b. (1773-1790) (of Templeton, New Hampshire)
LUTHER WRIGHT b. (1773-1790) (of Rodman, New York)
NATHAN WRIGHT b. (1773-1790) (of Templeton, New Hampshire)
PAMELIA WRIGHT b. (1773-1790)
LYDIA WRIGHT b. January 6, 1774
JESSE WRIGHT b. May 30, 1779
The only family extension I have is through DAR on-line lineage books:
NATHAN WRIGHT of Packersfield (now Nelson), New Hampshire, married
SOPHIA BEAL.
Child: GEORGE BEAL WRIGHT who married AMELIA FRANCES GRAVES.
Their child: MARY WRIGHT born Henderson, Jefferson County, New York
(DAR ID Number 43646) married FRED DEVILLO SQUIRES.
I would be interested in sharing WRIGHT family information, and,
hopefully, acquiring information in return.
