I am reading a letter written by my grandfather to his father in
1899 telling about his future bride to be, my grandmother. It
says:"her family are Congregationalists. Her mothers' family are
English, that is her grandparents. I know a great many of them
and they are fine people-all well-to-do. The BORDEN family is
from CAZENOVIA,N.Y. One of these Bordens came to Dundee,IL about
fifty years ago (about 1849)and left a family of three sons and a
a daughter. One of the sons is Florences' father. Other BORDENS
settled on other parts of Illinois so you see that Florence has
lots of relatives around here. I have met many of them and like
them very much. I met her at Jim Fords' house. He is an old
Albany boy and we were at Cornell together..."and it goes on. My
fathers name is Robert BORDEN Fletcher and my twin is James
BORDEN Fletcher. My grandfather that wrote this letter was
Robert C. Fletcher an Architect living in Evanston,IL and
employed 172 Washington St. Chicago,IL. Any FLETCHER OR BORDEN

WELLS, VAN BUREN
Max Geyer Sat Jul 18 12:44:46 1998
I am a Wells descendant, and I think my ancestors migrated
from Rhode Island to Madison County, NY, in the late 1790s.
If anyone reading this could help me fill in some holes in my
family history, I would appreciate it very much.
My GG Grandfather was James Wells. I believe he was born in
either 1793 or 1796 in Madison County, NY. I also have reason to
believe he was the oldest son of Gardner Wells, one of three
brothers (Gardner, Joshua, and Robert) who, in 1796, migrated
from Rhode Island to Nelson in Madison Co., NY.
James Wells, who was a blacksmith by trade, married Sarah
(Sally) Van Buren (born 28 Mar. 1801) while still in the state
of New York. The couple had a number of children born while they
were living in Nelson Co. and Oneida Co., NY. Sometime during
the late 1830s or early 1840s, the James Wells family left
New York and ultimately settled in Putnam County, Ohio
(in northwest Ohio), where they lived on a farm near the town
of Kalida. One of the daughters, Emogene Wells, married my
Great Grandfather Amos Geyer.
James Wells died in Kalida, OH, on 4 May 1871. His wife,
Sarah, died in Kalida on 16 March 1864. They are both buried in
a Kalida cemetery.
I would appreciate any information that anyone could provide
concerning my Wells ancestors while they were residing in Rhode
Island and New York, and before. Also, I could use any
information available on James Wells wife's family, thought to
be the William Van Buren family, who were related in some way to
Martin Van Buren (the 8th President).

COSTER, PACK
Jack E. Coster Mon Jul 20 17:27:11 1998
Looking for death dates and related statistics for Henry COSTER (the father)and Henry Elliot COSTER (the son). Henry the elder was born in England. About 1823 he married Mary PACK, supposedly from the Watertown area. The Packs became quite invovled with the Mormom church and eventually many of them moved to IA, IL, and UT.
Some family information has Henry living in, and perhaps dying, in Peterboro. His son Henry Elliot died in 1835 at the age of ten years, possibly in Peterboro. We think Henry the elder died abt Jan. 1845, family tradition says Peterboro area.
Any help greatly appreciated.

Looking for the family of Abiezer Perkins who came to Cazenovia, NY around
1800. There were 7 children, Byram, Jeduthan, Eliab, Sally, Polly,
Elemander and Stillman. At this time I would like any information on
children of Byram (Byrum) or Jeduthan as I believe my g-g-g-grand father
is a child of one of them. Byram was born Oct. 27, 1778 in Ashfield, MA
and married Cynthia French in Ashfield. Jeduthan was born Jan 6, 1781 in
Ashfield, MA, married Rhoda Yeomans in Ashfield, and died May 1853 in
Cazenovia, NY. The family were early settlers of Cazenovia and had an area
known as Perkins District. I also believe that they had the first Baptist
Church in Cazenovia, but no records seem to exist. Are there records that
would give children's names of either Byram or Jeduthan? Does anyone else
decend from this line??? Any information would be helpful.

FORT, QUACKENBUSH, DICKINSON, BRONSON
H.R. Herzer Sat Sep 5 15:41:20 1998
I am researching the family of Johannes I. Fort and Elizabeth Quackenbush who raised their children in the Lenox area in the late 1700s. Their children -- Sybrant, Catherine, Johannes, Peter and Harmen -- were said to have been born in Clockville.
Sybrant married Sophia Bratt; Catherine married John Benneway; Johannes married Margaret Hill; Peter married Phebe Dickinson and Harmen married Neeltje Bogert.
I am particularly interested in Peter & Phebe Fort, who moved back to Saratoga, NY by 1825. There is some information about this family in a "Bronson's Partial Genealogy" that I can't locate. The Bronsons were a prominent family in Madison County.

According to his obituary, Calvin H. BARROWS was born in Brookfield, Madison County, April 14 1813. Parents (though not listed) were Loyd and Elizabeth DOXEY (or DOXIE)BARROWS.
Now, even though the obit spells his surname with an A, the family name has been more commonly known as BURROWS. There is also a Lloyd Burrows in the 1820 census for Brookfield (page#102). The family later relocated to Pennsylvania, first Potter (1840-1850) and then McKean (1860-) counties.
Seeking any Madison Co. information on this family, and about the Joseph CHASE family which intermarried with them. Both families are from New England (mainly MA).
Thanks -- Lori
