She died of heart disease and dropsy, in Dorset, VT, October 11, 1857, age 63 years, 7 months, 21 days. The Hebron Cemetery Burial Record book states she was born in Williamstown, MA, the daughter of Samuel SOUTHWICK. Her husband Elijah SPOOR must have died or left her sometime between 1814 and 1820, (because their son Sylvester E. (my 2nd great-grandfather) was born in the town of Hebron, in the year 1812 or 1814) and then she married second Horatio G. AMEDEN sometime before 1820(?). I've had absolutely NO luck finding the elusive Elijah SPOOR. The only way I found out his name was from the book "The History of Washington Co. NY - 1878" written by Crisfield Johnson. My 2nd great-grandfather, Sylvester E. SPOOR, gave a lot of info for the book, and he mentions his parents' names as Elijah and Eunice. I suspect the "E" for his middle initial might be for "Elijah". I just know if I could find Elijah - there were other SPOORS in Upstate NY and I'd be able to trace back a lot further. I've tried all the census records, death records, cemetery records, etc. for the time period he would have been living. (Query posted 3/14/98) Stacy Niedzwiecki

Levi/Levy Holcomb WELLS was born 5 March 1817, possibly in Fort Ann, NY. His father was Jona(than) WELLS who was born c1787/88 NY; he may have been in Fort Ann, Washington Co., NY 1820. Levi's mother was C. HOOKEM/HOLCOMB who was born c1790 NY. Levi had brother Allen Clinton WELLS born 23 May 1819, possibly in Fort Ann, NY. A Jonathan WELLS is listed in the 1820 Census in Fort Ann. A Levi HOLCOMB, probably married to Chloe PISON/POISSON, is listed in the same area in 1790 and 1800. He may be the namesake for Levi Holcomb WELLS, and the father of C. (Chloe?) HOOKEM. Family lists I have found so far do not list a daughter of this name, but the 1800 Census seems to indicate that she existed. If the names on the census rolls are of my family, then Jonathan WELLS and C. HOLCOMB were probably married in Washington Co., and Levi H. WELLS was probably born there.
