 I would appreciate exchanging information with anyone who could give me any leads, suggestions or details regarding the parents of Peter Keyser/Keiser/Kayser/Kyser Bowman, physician, according to the censuses, born 1819, NY.  Peter was first seen on record in Lauderdale County, AL., in July, 1848, marrying Margaret Ann Campbell, daughter of Ailsy Reeder (dau of David Reeder) and James Edward Campbell.  Peter and Margaret migrated to Hempstead County, AR, in ~1849 and are seen on the Hempstead federal census in 1850 with baby Francis, 2.  They are later seen on the Little River, AR, census in 1860 without Francis, but with children, Silas Wright, James Edward, Calbert Cleveland, Villie, John and girls, Mary Ella and martha.  Peter died in 1865, intestate, his family indigent,  and there is no record that he participated in the Civil War,
 
I believe that Peter was named after the much respected and well known Bretheren minister, Peter Keyser, from the Philadelphia, PA, an area not so terribly remote from the border of NY state where Peter was born, who had an activie ministry in the early 1800's, and was said to have been able to quote the bible from cover to cover.  Peter's first son, his second child, was named "Silas Wright" Bowman, I speculate, after the noted and much beloved NY governor from Canton, Lewis County, NY, who held his post from ~1840-1844.  These facts, his namesake and his son's,  would seem to place Peter in the NY area from birth until possibly the early 1840's given that at this time, communication between different parts of the county was poor to nonexistent.  Most of the population knew very little about  people and events beyond the borders of a hundred mile radius of their own homes and communities.  Thus, it is easy to surmise that Peter was born in NY and did not leave the area until the mid 1840's, possibly after obtaining his physician training, even.
 
I would appreciate any info or leads anyone can give me on this man, Peter Keyser Bowman, born, 1819, NY.  Thank you.

 Looking for Charles Adelbert Dobson, aks Bert Dobson and wife Melvina
(Vena)Francis Dobson. Bert Dobson's dob is 1880 at Harrisville, NY, dod
1934 and believed to be buried at Harrisville Catholic Cemetery. Bert was a
 guide and had many camps in the High falls and Wanakena area. Son of Myron
 and Ella Palmer Dobson. Melvina was from Fine NY and died abt 1916 at High
Falls. They had 4 children, Marion Christina,dob 1908 harrisville Ny, Helen,
Roger and Canna Elizabeth. Bert had 2 brothers, Herbert and Guy Dobson.
Melvina had a sister that married Nelson St. Lawrence from
  Harrisville. I have not been able to locate this family in any census records and
 would welcome any feedback. Bert and Melvina are my husbands grandparents.
 also Looking for information of a marriage for Vena Francis to Bert Dobson.
probably between 1903-1907 in the Harrisville, NY area. Vena is the daughter
of Fred and Amelia Francis and Bert is the son of Myron and Ella Palmer
Dobson also from the Harrisville area. Vena and Bert are our
grandparents.Also tracing Joshua and Diana Kinsman Dobson.Bert Dobson's
birth name is Charles Adelbert (albert) but he ended up going
by Bert and most all writings about him list his name as Bert.(seems he was
a well know guide in the area and he had many camps where folks came from
many areas and stayed.they were known as "Dobson Camps".   Vena's full name
as best we can fiqure was Melvena Francis but Vena is the name on her death
certificate. She died when our Mom was 7 so it has been very hard to find
much about her. I have searched all the old newspapers on here and find her
name about 3 times but it was always before she married Bert. They had 4
children, all born in Harrisville as was she and Bert. I know Vena had sisters,
one married Nelson St. Lawrence and a brother that was killed on his job in
1912.
I am trying so hard to know this part of the family and hope that someone might
know them or be related and respond.
Thanks so much.

J. Mott (although an apparent transcription error lists him as T. J. Mott) with his daughter A. (we believe it to be his daughter Alice) born in Texas 1873, and son J. A. Mott born in Kansas 1875, who is also known as Delbert or Adelbert James Mott.  With him in the census is also M. Mott, a female, born abt 1835 in New York . He married a woman named Susan who was from Missouri .  Francis later appears in Jasper County , Missouri , census of 1880, with Susan and children.  She applied for his Civil War pension death benefits in 1894.  I assume he passed in Missouri but cannot find anything to support that.  I am interested in finding out if there is a relation to Jeremiah and Melissa Mott, from Lewis County , whose children were Alice and James.  Really looking for any information on Francis J.

Date posted:  15 Oct 2007

 I have identified a Richard "Ellison" Brown b. 1860 possibly in Lewis County. d. 1927 in Oklahoma City. He is a great uncle of mine through marriage of his sister, Ellen L. Brown b. 25 Mar 1853 in NY, to Herbert LaGrand Graves. Ellison appears to have been quite an accomplished builder.

Ellen and Richards parents were Charles E. Brown and Elmina Sheperd Brown. There are four other siblings listed: Erwin G., Effie B. (Snider) Mary A. and Charles C. Brown.

William is buried along with his wife(maiden name Ainsworth) in the Port Leyden Cemetery, and upon visting there a few times I have noticed fresh flowers on the graves from time to time. This leads me to believe there are living members of the family in the area. My grandfather was his brother Lester who lived in Little Falls NY where both parents( William Edward and Eliza ( Fenton) McGlauchlin) of William and Lester lived until their death he in 1932, she in 1933. I have the death certificates of both of them as well as the location and picture of their burial site.

The parents of William are listed as Edward and Mary McDonald, both being born in NYS, but no particulars as to where????

Any information on the McGlauchlins or the McDonalds would be greatfully appreciated.

Patrick Mullin b. Abt. 1803 in Ireland died before 1880.  Believed to have had a son by a first marriage named Henry P. Mullin who was born Abt. 1830 in Ireland and died in 1912, Lewis County.  Buried Harrisville Cemetery, Town of Diana but I have not been able to verify this yet.
Patrick Mullin did marry a Eliza A. ?.  She was born in Jefferson County Abt. 1828.  Date of death unknown.
Their children were:

Rosa Mullin b. Abt. 1860.  She married Alfred Cotton
Thomas Mullin b. Abt. 1862 He moved to Montana.
 
The 1855 NY state census shows Patricks' father living with them.  His name was Henry Mullin and he was 82 years old at the time of the census.  The census of 1850, 1855 and 1860 also shows another Henry Mullin that may have been the brother of Patrick Mullin.  If this family line looks familiar please email me at sam2813@aol.com.  I would be happy to share what information I have and I also have ancestry information on the Perrigo line.

 Looking for information on my great grandparents, back 5 generations,
Asa and Rebecca (Elithorpe) Bowen.  They were born in Windham County,
Connecticut around 1754-1755.  He fought in the Revolutionary War and
the War of 1812.  I found Asa in the 1790 Thompson, Windham County,
Connecticut Census.  I know they had a son Asa and another son and three
daughters.  In early 1800's they moved to Guilford Vermont.  They moved to
New York, but not sure if they all moved together or separate.
       Asa Senior died in Selby, Orleans or Genesee County, New York on
September 4, 1823.  I am looking for information in where he and his wife
are buried.  I believe they were living with a son other that Asa Jr. 
Possible name of son is Abiel. Abiel became a doctor.  He married Anna
Sterling Cone around 1825.  They lived around Medina New York.  When he
retired he lived on a farm.
      Asa Jr married Mehitable Boyden in Guilford, Vermont. They later
moved to Martinsburg, Lewis County, New York. They are buried in Beeches
Bridge Cemetery in Watson, New York.
     They had ten children, I have names of nine of them, looking for the
name of the tenth child.  Probably died at young age.  Their first
child Hiram lived a little over a month.  The second child is also named
Hiram.  Hiram and younger brother Daniel B. Bowen moved to Michigan.  I
know Daniel Boyden Bowen was born in Martinsburg, Lewis County, New York
on March 3, 1811. 
     Looking for any information, especially they the parents and siblings
of Asa Bowen senior.  Would like to know where they are buried.  Also
would like to know the names of their other children.
     Did the counties to biographical sketches of the families living in
the community? I have a couple nice biographical sketches of both Hiram
and Daniel in the township, county they moved to.
     Again any information would be helpful, or suggestions of where to
look for this information.

 I am looking for information on the Fruin family that lived in Greig, Lewis County.  The first Fruin to appear in your census was Joseph Fruin, in 1840.  Children were John, Katherine, Mary, James, William, Robert, and Jane.  His wife was either Ann Newman or Mary Barrett.  If you could clarify who his wife was, that would be wonderful.
 
His brother John Fruin also accompanied him to New York, most of his children were born in Chettenham, England.  I believe they arrived in New York July, 1832, and appear on the census in Greig in 1840, 1850 and 1860.  He died in 1870 in the Pinney settlement in Lewis County.  His wife was Elizabeth Bryant, who I believe came from England with him.  Their children were Ann, Joseph, James, Elizabeth, William J., Jane, and Hester Maybell Fruin.
 
His son, Joseph Fruin, lived in New York during the 1840,1850 and 1860 census periods, and all of his children were born there.  Their names were James Augusta "Gus" Fruin; Cornelia Annetta Baldwin Fruin; Elizabeth; Eunice; Ella J.; Emma "Rosalia" Judd Fruin; Francis J. "Frank" Fruin; John B. Fruin; and Henry H. Fruin.  Many of the immediate family members had moved on to Missouri by the 1870 census, though many extended family members remain in Lewis County to this day.  His wife was Cornelia Amelia Baldwin; they were married by A. Johnson, Esq, in New York, though I do not know if it was in Lewis County. 
 
Can you provide any further information on this family.  I am doing genealogical research on my husband's family, and Francis J. "Frank" Fruin was his great grandfather. 
 
Thank you in advance for any help you can provide us.

 I've been tracing a branch of my Sage family who lived near Copenhagen. Many of the Sages moved from their original homeplace at Middletown Connecticut to Sandisfield Massachusetts and then on to Oneida/Lewis County New York.
My great great great grandfather Solomon Sage was one of those. He died in 1813 during the 1812 War, and I don't know what he died of but I've assumed he was in the New York militia.
What I am trying to determine is if he buried somewhere near Copenhagen and does he have a headstone?
His wife, Amy Sage, who was young and pregnant when Solomon died, raised her four children at Copenhagen, and then several years later (probably the 1850s) she moved to live with her son Horace Sage at Oneida Illinois"

  Have you heard of the Sischo (Cisco), Peck, and Plank names? My great grandmother was a Peck. Her grandmother was Rachael Plank (married to Aaron Peck), and her mother was Sarah Sischo, who's father died on a Lake Erie shipwreck in 1850. As follows:

/8/03 Email from Helen Wittenberg: My family tradition was that Levi and a brother were killed when transporting a condemned steamship on Lake Erie, leaving my great-grandfather John Wallace SISCHO, his brother Harrison, and sisters Sarah (Sally) and Emily/Emeline as orphans. [Their mother (Nancy DUNAWAY) had died about 1847] Harrison (8), John (6), and Sally (4) were with the DUNAWAYs in Denmark (Lewis Co.) NY, and Emeline (3) was with the family of Nelson RICHARDS, also in Denmark. Surname was spelled CISCO this time,

I had found a book on history of the Great Lakes which dealt with disasters, and later Sandra Watts sent me info on one of the steamers mentioned, The Anthony Wayne, a condemned steamship, which sank on Lake Erie in April of 1850. Very few of the surviving passengers or the victims were named, but there was a large loss of life. I felt strongly that this was the accident in which my gr-gr-grandfather had died, but strong feelings are not considered proof, are they?

Harry and Mary were married in April, the census was taken in September 1850. Why was she still with her parents? Is it a different Mary? No. Mary died 17 March 1851, is buried near her parents, and her gravestone notes she was widow of Harry. I don't have the dates in front of me, but the marriage occurred earlier in April than the steamboat explosion, so it is possible that brothers Harry and Levi, and Harry's bride Mary were on it, and Mary was one of the unnamed survivors. She could have retuned to Michigan, only to die the following year. THIS IS ONLY THEORY AND HOW IN THE WORLD CAN IT BE PROVED?????

Does anyone have any time to look into some of this? I am new at this, but I am having a great time researching it. Let me know where to start.

I appreciate your time. Let me know if there are any charges for this.

She was the last child born and the only one born in the U.S. She married John Shoemaker and had the following children. George, Anna, Emma and Elizabeth, Susanna and Joseph. Is there anyone that can tell me more about these people. They lived in the West Leyden area in 1880 and then moved to Utica, NY.

  I've been looking "forever" for the marriage of my gr gr gp's Austin Gavin and Bridget Moore. She arrived in New York June 19, 1846 and delivered my gr gf Joseph in April, 1847. Austin was here from at least 1844. I know they knew each other in Ireland because she transited with a Michael Gavin.

Pretty narrow window for a wedding.

I recently saw a posting on the Mayo list that said there was a clutch of Mayo folks who grouped up in Lewis county in the 1840's.

Any chance you can point me in any significant direction?

Thanks for any help!

  I am looking for information on August Seifert b. 1817 in Germany. He came to America in 1854 with his son Charles (Carl). August married Catherine Price, I believe after he arrived in America and they had the following children: Maria b. Jan. 11, 1856, Susanna b. Jan. 4, 1858, George b. April 11, 1861 married Mary Schmidt, John b. Dec. 1863, and Margaret b. April 16, 1865 married Isaac Rivers. Catherine Price had two children by a previous marriage, Elizabeth b. Dec. 1848 and Edward b. May 1852 both in Germany. Elizabeth moved to Brooklyn. She married someone by the name of Thoman and then John Schwenck. Edward married Veronica Hauck. They moved to Utica, NY. George and Mary eventually moved to Utica, NY and Margaret and Isaac moved to Rome, NY. Charles married Emma Rivers and moved to Rome, NY. I believe that Maria, Susanna and John did not live long as they did not show up on census with the rest of the family. Any information would be welcomed.
