I’m searching for information on the descendants of Maria Dolly FOSBURGH born November 1840 in Springfield, Bradford, PA. She was the daughter of John FOSBURGH and Betsey G. (surname unknown).
Maria married:
1)       Samuel S. DAVIS on 26 October 1862; he died 1867
2)       John FOSBURGH abt. 1869; he died 1888
3)       Unknown BROWN aft. 1888; he died bef. 1900

Maria FOSBURGH Davis Fosburgh Brown died unknown place/date.

Maria had five children; only two survived in 1900. One surviving child was a son, Orin R. FOSBURGH, born October 1880 in PA and died unknown. The other surviving child was one of two daughters:
1)       Emma Fosburgh born abt. 1870 in PA
2)       Betsey Fosburgh born abt. 1877 in PA

One of her daughters (Emma or Betsey) married a Teeter and they had a son named William H. TEETER born 1897 in PA. William’s father was born in NY and his mother in PA.

Maria was enumerated in the 1900 census of South Creek Township, Bradford, PA, as follows:

Fosburg, Orin R  Son W M Oct 1880 19  S PA NY PA            farm laborer
Teeter, William H  Grandson W M Apr 1897 3 S PANY PA

and children. Essentially, I’m interested in information about:
1)       the date/place of death for Maria FOSBURGH Davis Fosburgh Brown
2)       information about Orin R. FOSBURGH
3)       information about the parents of William H. TEETER

I would sincerely appreciate any information you could provide to me.

This has been the most mind-boggling family I've ever tried to trace....but here are my thoughts concerning the following families....I believe that John & Hannah are the parents of Altheda Bennett who married Charles Bennett.   Prior to Charles marriage,  the only Altheda I can find on the entire Bradford Co. census is Altheda Bennett on the Wilmot 1850 Census with her parents John & Hannah.   I believe that Ursula Clark (possibly married to a Inman) is Charles sister.   The Bennett tombstone includes Charles, Altheda, and
Ursula Clark in the Laddsburg Cemetery.   They lived right next door to each other in 1880, as shown below, and The Watkins in 1880 Terry  (with an Ursula) has Hannah
Bennett in the home, and right next door is Altheda and Charles.......gets very confusing!  Anybody researching the following?  Thanks John

All of the above surnames appear in the first 3 generations of descendents of Harmon C.

Rowe.
Also, does anyone know who B. G. Rowe was--Catherine Charlotte Barber Rowe died in his/her home in 1931, address 406 Magee St., Millport, NY.  Does anyone know who Fred Jairus Rowe is--he is buried in the Millport Cem. where Abram Rowe's family is buried.  Are there any Rowe families still living in Millport, NY.?

Two Children of Rachel Weed, (d. of Enos Weed and Mary Unknown) and her husband Justus Gray were in Sullivan Township in 1830.  They were Sally Gray, wife of James McConnell and Eli Gray, husband of Eleanor Wood. These were all Connecticut immigrants to Sullivan. Eli Gray and Eleanor Wood relocated to Ohio. In same neighborhood were Levi Weed b. ca 1780, Nathaniel Weed b. ca 1790, also Dennis and Eli b. 1800-1810. These WEED families disappeared from Sullivan after this time. I need the full genealogical scoop on these WEEDs, full ancestry, siblings, migration after leaving Sullivan, wives, children the whole thing. I also need to know relationship to Rachel if any. They may be nephews and thereby cousins of her children in Sullivan who migrated with them from CT to Sullivan Township, Tioga County PA.

Researching the family of Peter and Catherine McNamara.  Elmira, Chemung County, New York. They lived at 415 W. Third Street. According to family "Peter built that house and the house next door with his bare hands and it is one excellent build"  my mom's cousin has been there and seen it. Oh how I would love a picture of it! She said he was a
shoemaker and mentioned working for the railroad,  her sister said he worked for the railroad.

According to the 1880 Census report they were:
McNamara  Peter  Head  M  M  W  49  Clare IRE  Clare  Clare  Keep Shoe Store
Catherine  Wife  F  M  W  45  Clare IRE  Clare  Clare  Housekeeping

Peter and Catherine were married July 3, 1853.
Also children-
Infant boy- b. Jan. 28, 1856   d. Feb. 4, 1856
Annie- b. June 27, 1861  d.  July 17, 1862
James Francis- b. Oct. 3, 1871  d. Dec. 23 1871
His death is listed at the tri-county site under the Elmira Deaths- the only link to the family I have found to date at the site. He is buried at SS Peter & Paul. I have been curious as to why there, instead of Elmira, and how far away is it?

Peter died Aug 28, 1883. His mother-in-law Catherine Tuohey died April 8,1882

Kate is my great grandmother. I would love to find someone else also researching this family.
Thank You,

Son Garwood Hill was in Sullivan for the 1840, 1850, 1860 censuses as husband of Alpha Palmer (m 1834) and later Mary Barnes ( m. 1877). I need the full ancestry and information on the family of William and Polly, including identity of and descendants of the other children.

Following is a biography of son Garwood which is all I know of the family of William and Polly.

Garwood H. Hill, who is of English descent, came to Sullivan with his parents at the age of 17. He was born May 17th 1811 at Wellsboro. December 25th 1834 he married Alpha G. Palmer, daughter of Stephen and Lydia Palmer of Sullivan. She died March 12th 1876, having borne him eight children, of whom five are still living. In 1877, he married Mrs. Mary A. Palmer, daughter of Ezekiel and Mary Barnes. He is a farmer. (1883 Tioga County History page 31 of appendix)

Mansfield Advertiser 6 APR 1887: Garwood H. Hill died Sullivan twp. Mar 30th, age 75, father of E. J. of Troy PA.

Hollenback's Store" at Tioga Pt. in 1787-8. Next I have found RoderickCenter(believed to be Jonathan's son) in the 1810 census of LycomingCounty in the town of Ulster. Have found another researcher that saysAnna Curry (Daughter of William Curry and Charity Lockwood of BradfordCounty) married a Roderick Smith or Senter, but have no documentation.Roderick did name a son Lockwood, and the name has been passed thruseveral generations. Both Roderick and Jonathan, along with Robert and James H. Center werein Ohio by 1820.

Would welcome any information on any Center family which was in the Ulster area ca. 1770 to 1820. This is my brick wall of several years, and I would appreciate any help, no matter how small. I do have Jonathan's Rev. War pension app if anyone is interested. It does state that he had a daughter named Lucy who married a COOK and her husband
deserted her by 1815, and left her with 2 small children. Thanks for any help!

I am seeking any information on any descendants of Austin LEONARD who with his cousin (unknown exactly what kind of cousin) Ezekiel LEONARD (my ancestor) was one of the first three settlers in Springfield Township, Bradford County (about 1804).  Please contact me at billklauk@worldnet.att.net if you are related to either Austin or Ezekiel

According to the historical book entitled "The life and Times of Major Isaac Lyman" by Robert R Lyman as well as handed-down family information (I am his descdendent) --Isaac settled in the wilderness in a one-cabin town which came to be known as Lymansville, on March 16, 1810 with his 3rd wife and children as well as many of the younger children of his previous two marriages. This following a 42 mile trip from Delmar, Tioga County, PA. 'They brought their goods, tools, iron for the saw mill, oxen for heavywork, horses for travel, cows for milk and sheep for wool. Their only neighbor was the Ayers family four miles away.'

In 1816 there were enough settlers in the area to warrant a post-office and in 1816 a mail route was established from Jersey Shore, through Lymansville, and on to Olean, NY. Life in Lymansville continued to prosper and the village grew. Then -- on March 20, 1834 on a beautiful warm spring day around 4:30 pm a terrific wind storm (most likely a tornado and in many accounts referred to as a "cyclone") together with thunder, hail, etc. struck the town. Most all of the town was destroyed and demolished in a matter of minutes. The town of Ulysses had almost as  much damage.

The town continued to exist though and much of it was rebuilt and is still in existence today.

Looking for grave  of  ANN SMITH b. 12 August 1804 d. after 1884  m. 1st MERRICK CRANDALL and had 4 children:  SARAH, HARRIET, ANDREW, and HANNAH.

She married 2nd Irad Wilson and "was of Lycoming County."

Merrick Crandall, according to family history, is buried in Roaring Branch, but I have been unable to locate his grave.  I am hoping Ann Smith Crandall Wilson is buried beside him.

Her father was EBER SMITH and her mother LYDIA MERE, most likely of Quaker Descent.   (Sorry, No Name Signed)

I found Michael KANE in the 1880 Census residing with the FONNELL family.I've never heard of this family before.  Does anyone have any information?

Hi Bill
I have Eber Leonard b. 1823 Springfield, Bradford Co. in my tree who was married to my Sally Wilson, daughter of  Nehemia Wilson and Polly Grover.  I also have the name of Ezekial Leonard Sr. as his father. Eber's marriage to Sally was found in Pioneer and Patriot Families of Bradford Co., vol. 1, p. 26 .  Many other references to Ezekial and "his relative" Austin, are in Vol 2, p. 42-43 which you are probably already aware of. Guess we are cuzzins...?

Heather,

Below is what I have on Leonard and Hodge from various sources.

Solomon Leonard b. 29 May 1765 Bridgewater, Plymouth County, Massachusetts m. 22 Oct 1787 at Promfret, Vermont, Huldah Hodge b. perhaps 21 July 1768. Enumerated in Onondaga County, New York in 1800 and 1810. Enumerated in Hector, Tompkins (that portion that is now Schuyler) County, New York in 1820. Solomon is related to have d. c. 1825 Tompkins County, New York. In the 1825 state census enumeration Huldah was the head of household with a notation of the death of one male in that year. In the Tompkins County land records of 1827, the Sheriff of Tompkins County, from a writ of the Court of Common Pleas was directed to direct goods and chattels unto Curtis H. Leonard, Abraham Leonard 2d, Elisha Leonard, Ezra Grinold and Lucretia, his wife; Benoni Campbell and Mary, his wife; Truman B. Warner and Mabel, his wife; Henry Stringham and Solomon Leonard Stringham "heirs of Solomon Leonard, deceased" for a $1,000 debt. Huldah Leonard removed with her children to Wells and d. 3 Feb 1842 73y 6m 13d (ts) Coryland Cemetery.

Solomon Leonard, Jr., b. c. 1790 was a witness on land transactions involving Solomon and Huldah Leonard in Tompkins County (1819 and 1825), New York and in the latter transaction, he is noted as "Jr". He is perhaps the Solomon in the 1825 state census enumeration. He does not appear as an heir in the 1827 Tompkins County record. He is perhaps the Solomon Leonard who appears on the 1830 asessment list of Wells and on the 1831 list had transfered his property to John Frost and perhaps is the Solomon Leonard
enumerated in the 1835 state census of Tompkins County.

1.  daughter b. c. 1788.
2.  Abraham Leonard 2nd b. c. 1790 (1800 census - son b. 1785-90).
3.  daughter b. perhaps c. 1792 (1800 census - two daughters b. 1790-1800).
4.  Lucretia Leonard b. 4 Dec 1795 Washington County, New York m. 18 Jan 1815 Ezra Grinold, lived many years in Orleans County, New York where she d.16 Apr 1887.
5.  Curtis Hodge Leonard b. Dec 1797.
6.  son b. c. 1800 (1810 census enumeration son b. 1795-1800 but not enumerated in 1800).
7.  Mary Leonard b. 12 Sept 1802 Pompey, Onondaga County, New York m. Benoni Campbell.
8.  Elisha Leonard perhaps b. c. 1804.
9.  Mable Ann Leonard b. 5 Mar 1808 Fabius, Onondaga County, New York m. 27 Oct 1825 Truman B. Warner.
10.  perhaps a son b. c. 1810 (not enumerated 1810 census but male of age 10 and under age 16 enumerated 1820 census).
