ALDRICH/ALDRIDGE
Other surnames in query: ELLIOT

Jonathan ALDRICH/ALDRIDGE shows in the census records for 1790 to be a head of household in Kingsbury, Washington Co. NY. In 1800 census (or 1810) there are two Jonathan ALDRIDGE'S shown as heads of household in Kingsbury. Sometime after 1760 Mehitabel ALDRICH ELLIOT moved with her husband David ELLIOT to Kingsbury. They had lived in Duxbury, MA as had Mehitabel's first cousin Edward ALDRICH. About 1757 Edward ALDRICH moved his family to New Hampshire. At the same time David ELLIOT moved his family to Duchess Co. NY. Edward ALDRICH had a son Jonathan ALDRICH born 1739 who is listed as "died before 1757." My strong suspicion is that he did not die, but rather moved with the ELLIOTS to NY, winding up in Kingsbury. Mehitabel ALDRICH ELLIOT had a daughter named Prudence. In 1820 Jonathan ALDRICH (ALDRIDGE in census records) comes to Rose, Wayne Co., NY, and buys land and he and his two grown sons, Edward and Peter, take up farming there. (By now there are no ALDRIDGES in Kingsbury census records) A Rose, NY, historian says that Jonathan's name (nickname) was Macajah. Mehitabel had a son Macajah. Peter names a son Macajah and a daughter Prudence. And then there is the Edward for the grandfather back in NH. I sure wish I could find some hard data in the Kingsbury area which would back up all this (to me anyway) quite reasonable surmising. (Query posted 9/2/98) Chuck Mason

ALLEN
Other surnames in query: MATTESON, FEIRSON, BUCK, FINTON/FINN, AKIN, BOWERMAN

Searching for info on Stephen ALLEN and wife Sarah. Stephen's will (Book B, pg. 62) is dated 22 December 1832 at Kingsbury, Washington Co., NY. It lists his wife, Sarah, sons Charles, Stephen, Winter, Hiram, Joseph, and daughters Hannah (MATTESON), Phebe (FEIRSON), Sarah (BUCK), Rebecca (FINTON or FINN), and Farozin/Frozen (FINTON or FINN). Our ancestor is Winter ALLEN. I have been unable to connect this Stephen to his parents. I suspect Stephen is son of Moses and Anna (AKIN) ALLEN who had these children: Stephen, born 18 October 1754, died 25 September 1834; Mary, born 9 December 1755; James, born 28 January 1757; Anne, born 14 March 1759; Joseph, born 7 October 1761; Moses, born 11 December 1763; and William, born 26 May 1765. The parents of Moses ALLEN, born c1730, may have been Benjamin ALLEN, born c1680, and Waitstill BOWERMAN. I believe Benjamin and Waitsill had children: Benjamin, Moses, Thomas, Judah, and John. They may have come from Dartmouth, MA.(Query posted 1/22/98)Dave Burnisky

In 1792 he left serving in Westfield & moved his family to Panton, Addison Co., VT, where a son, Barnabus/Barnes/Barnis was born 24 February 1794--(possibly with a twin named Bernice). The family moved back to Westfield, NY, after his birth and daughter Amanda was born in 1795, as was Hiram R. (aka Henry?) born in 1798.

BLAIR
I am seeking information on Jonathon BLAIR'S family. Jonathon was born in NY cl805 (he was on the census in l850 in Conecuh Co., AL aged 45 years. I found 2 BLAIRS on the l8l0 census in Washington Co., NY, village of Putnam. There was a John Blair and the next name was James Blair (I think, for the writing was difficult to read) and the ages given indicate they could have been father and son, John being the oldest. Jonathon was my great-great grandfather and his sons were William, James (my great grandfather), and John plus three daughters. Jonathon's wife was Salina, a fullblooded Choctaw and was 20 years his junior. William, the oldest, was two years old in the 1850 census, so I am assuming they were married in the late l840s. I could find no trace of Johnathon before l850, he also was on l860 census but not on l870 although Salina was and then she was not found again. I am assuming Jonathon died in the l860s but late 1860s as salina had a six year old daughter. (Query posted 4/22/98) Howard Blair

BRAMAN
Other surnames in query: GREEN, FISH

Amos BRAMAN is my paternal great grandfather. His obituary states that he was born 11 October 1842 in Washington Co. NY.

The father, who was a farmer by occupation, was reared and married in that state. He and his wife reared eight children: Hannah, Assel, Mary, Ann, Jim, Olive, Sabrey, and Amos. Amos Braman remained at home until the death of his mother which occurred when he was 2 years and 6 months old. He then went to live with his married sister, and they moved to Kalamazoo, Mich., when he was about 5 years old." I assume his mother Dorcas would have died about April, 1843, according to Amos' birth date. He married Nancy FISH 4 July 1863 in Kalamazoo. They moved with Nancy's family to Crawford Co., WI.

BUCK
Other surnames in query: LEWIS, PARKS

The surnames that I am looking for in Washington Co. are BUCK and LEWIS. My g-g-grandparents were John BUCK and Dehlia LEWIS BUCK. John BUCK was born 30 September 1807 in the Township of Kingsbury, Washington Co., NY; he married a Dehlia (possibly spelled lots of different ways) LEWIS on 10 December 1832 in the Town of Salem, (she was born in December 1813 in the Town of Salem). Somewhere between 1840 and 1850 or so they emigrated to Hannibal, Oswego Co., NY, and they both lived there until their deaths--his in 1895 and hers in 1904. I know absolutely nothing of Dehlia LEWIS other than her name prior to her marrying John BUCK. I've even considered that she was married prior to marrying John BUCK and that her maiden name is not known at this point. According to another BUCK researcher I've been told that John BUCK'S parents are Justus BUCK and Lovina PARKS, but I would like to substantiate that information. (Query posted 6/20/98) Marilyn Stern

The second Bernice (sometimes Burnus) CARVER married Rachel (born 19 March 1786, died 5 May 1850) in 1805 in Whitehall. There is a possibility that Rachel was a WEBSTER.

The first 3 children were born in VT. The rest were born in Olmsted, Cayahoga Co., OH. Samuel DANALD died there on 4 December 1893. The name DANALD is very unusual. There are very few of them in the country today. I suspect that the name may have been changed. In Addison Co., VT, I found land records for a MACK DANALD.

If anyone has information regarding the DANALD family in Washington Co., NY, or ideas about the origin of the name, I'd like to hear from you. (Query posted 2/17/98)Debbie Thomas

GERMAN
Other surnames in query: HARRIS, TOWNSEND, RYCKMAN

My 4th great-grandfather John GERMAN, I, was at Fort Edward, Washington Co., NY, for several years prior to 1776, at which time he had 100 acres of land and a good log house. He joined the British forces on Lake Champlain on 4 November 1776, and lost all his possessions in 1777 when his wife and children went behind the British lines. John I and his entire family resettled in Ontario, Canada, after the Revolutionary War. John I was apparently married twice. He and his first wife, Grace (last name unknown), had 5 children: John II, Christopher I, Jacob I, Rebecca, and Mary (my 3rd great-grandmother, who married Solomon HARRIS, an uncle of Townsend HARRIS, the 1st US Ambassador to Japan). Solomon HARRIS was also born in Washington Co., NY (Kingsbury), and was one of 8 children of Gilbert, Sr., and Thankful (TOWNSEND) HARRIS. Grace (?) GERMAN was at Quebec or Old Lorette (near Quebec) in January 1778 and at least until October 29, 1778, when John I visited her and their 5 children (3 over 10 years old and two under) on leave. Grace "disappeared" between late 1778 and 1784. John I's second wife was Mary RYCKMAN. They married soon after Mary immigrated to Ontario in 1784. Their children were James and Henry. John I is believed to have been born c1730 in southern Germany and immigrated to British North America while young. At least some of John I's immediate descendants were Quakers, so John I may have passed through PA before he settled in Fort Edward, NY. I have the following dates for John I and his children: John I, born c1730, Germany, served as Sgt.; John II, born c1750, served as Corp., 1st child named Jacob; Christopher I, born c1750, served as Private; Jacob I, born c1760, served as drummer; 2nd child named Jacob; Rebecca, born c1770; Mary, born c1774, Mary's 8th child named Jacob; James, born c1784; Henry, born c1788. I suspect that John I's father's name was Jacob, because it is so prominent in this family. Any assistance or suggestions regarding John's roots in Germany (Palatine?) or his history in the colonies, or anything about his first wife, Grace, would be welcome. I would also like to correspond with relatives of Gilbert HARRIS, Sr. (Query posted 11/24/98) Carl Strand
