ANGEL/ANGELL

Diane L. (Angell) Woodard 05 Jul 1998 11:26:57
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?

HALEY

Gloria Pichan 5 Jul 1998
I am looking for a Belle Haley--married to a Lorenzo T Smith. They are my grandparents. She died when my father was two years old. My fathers name was Estes Goode Smith. Lorenzo was born in Jefferson Co. I have no birth date, but he died in 1931, he was old, so I imagine that he was born somewhere in the 1860s, but not sure. I am looking to find something of the Haley family. Smith isn't much to go on.

SANFORDS CORNERS CEMETERY

Christopher Lyttle 24 Jun 1998
I have recently identified Sanford's Corner Cemetery in Calcium as being the final resting place for some of my earliest Jefferson County ancestors. I expect to visit Jefferson County in early August, and I have a couple of questions, the answers to which will help me make the best use of my time there. (1) The US Geographic Survey's online maps show Sanford's Corner Cemetery to directly abut on Camp Drum. Can anyone verify that the cemetery has not been incorporated into Camp Drum? Is it freely accessible? (2) Are there any administrative records for Sanford's Corner Cemetery? Where are they?

SPENCER, GRADALL

Susan Bradshaw 11 Jul 1998 07:20:28
I have traced some of the family to Jefferson County, specifically Henderson. I have references to Copenhagen and Denmark as well. My grandmother was Ella Mae Spencer. I'm not sure which branch of the New York Spencers she was from but I have old papers from my father that indicate she was the daughter of George Spencer and Mary Markey. Ella married Benjamin V. Grandall and I have found absolutely nothing on him thus far. I don't know if he was from the same area or not.
Any help you can give me will be appreciated.

ALLEN

Hortense Wilkinson 18 Jul 1998
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. Hortense Wilkinson

ALLEN

Iris 17 Jul 1998
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.

ANGELL

Diane L. (Angell) Woodard 21 Jul 1998
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: Angell_1972@yahoo.com

CHASE, COGSWELL, TRAVIOLI

Virginia Watson 19 Jul 1998
Abraham Chase and Abigail Redford Cosgwell formerly of Haverhill, Mass. "Removed to LeRay, Jefferson County, New York. Was one of trustees of First Methodist Episcopal Church 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.
Sincerely,
Virginia Watson aka Chatsmimi@aol.com

SHERMAN

Chris 25 Jul 1998
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.
