Looking for information on Leander GRAHAM and his wife Rebecca COLE. Leander GRAHAM born about 1815 in Dry Brook, CT. Died before 1880, place unknown. His wife, Rebecca COLE, born about 1819 in NY and died after 1880, place unknown. They lived in in Lycoming and Tioga Counties of Pennsylvania and also in Connecticut. They had 8 children: Laura, Leonard, Lafayette, Louisa, Henry, James, Lusygman "John", and Wellington "Ren". No idea where they are buried.
Leander GRAHAM's father is believed to be Orson GRAHAM born 1790 in Luzerne County, Pennsylvania. Died 1828, place unknown. Leander's mother is believed to be Polly FOOT born about 1797. Orson and Polly were married in 1815 in Texas, Pine Twp, Lycoming County, Pennsylvania and had 6 children. After Orson GRAHAM's death Polly FOOT Graham married William ROOT about 1848. No idea where Orson and Polly are buried either.
I would appreciate hearing from anyone researching any of the above mentioned people. Will gladly exchange data.

William H. ALLEN and Eunice M. REED were my g-g-grandparents. They had 2 sons, James and Juder. According to James ALLEN's obit, Clemma BABCOCK was his sister. (actually I believe his half sister)
Eunice M. REED b. abt 1828 m. Apr 10, 1847 in Southport, Steuben Co., NY to Harvey RHOADES (b. Jun 26, 1829 in Elmira, Steuben Co., NY) 1st. I am about 99.9% postive this is my G-G-grandmother. Because they had a dau. named "Clemma" (1855 census has Clementa) that m. a man named L. W. BABCOCK. Harvey and Eunice also had a dau named Mary and a son named Robert.
Ok, here is where it gets tricky. (see below) A William ALLEN m. Elizabeth HOWLAND, she died in 1865. Eunice REED m. Harvey RHOADES. I have a feeling that these are my William and Eunice. I think maybe Harvey died before 1870 also.
Below is what I found from another researcher.
2 Rhoades, Harvey Olmstead b: June 26, 1829 in Elmiria- Chemung County- New York at that time it was Tioga Co.-Chemung Co., NY ..... +Reed, Eunice b: 1829 ...... 3 Rhoades, Clemma b: March 14, 1848 ==================================== ...... 3 Howland, Elizabeth b: September 10, 1834 in Rutland Twp.- Tioga County- Pennsylvania d: January 28, 1865 in Pennsylvania .......... +Allen, William b: June 02, 1827 d: December 30, 1886 in Rutland Township- Pennsylvania .......... 4 Allen, Victor d: December 10, 1862 in Rutland Township- Pennsylvania .......... 4 Allen, Mary Violet d: in At age 3 years and 2 months as Cemetery record
The marriage record may have them as Wm ALLEN and Eunice RHOADES or REED. Either way it should say the they were m. before. I know James and Juder were born in Wellsboro and Antrim. If their kids were born there maybe they may have married there too.
William ALLEN, 51, Eunice, 51, James, 8, and Juder, 7 were in the 1880 census in Delmar Twp, Tioga Co., PA. I Think they were married about 1865-1870.
Harvey and Elizabeth were cousins. So Wm and Eunice would have known each other through their spouses.
Can anyone help with any of these people?

I am trying to identify the children of Jacob and Hannah (surname unknown) Weeks. The Weeks family migrated from New York to Ridgebury Twp., Bradford Co., PA, sometime between the 1830 and 1840 census.
The 1850 census of Ridgebury Twp. lists the family of Jacob and Hannah with three of their sons: Warren, Volney and Charles.
The 1850 census of Ridgebury Twp.:
Weeks Jacob 60 M 1000 Farmer NY
Weeks Hannah 58 F NY
Weeks Warren 17 M Laborer NY
Weeks Volney 14 M NY
Weeks Charles 29 M Laborer NY
Weeks Amy 28 F NY
Weeks Permelia 6 F PA
Weeks James 4 M PA
I am trying to identify the other children of Jacob and Hannah who had moved out of their household before 1850. Their other children may have been Alvah Weeks (1824 - ?), Martin Weeks (1818 - ?), and Julia Weeks (1827 - ?); all were born in New York and later married to persons in Ridgebury Township.
Any help identifying the children of Jacob and Hannah (surname unknown) Weeks would be much appreciated.

I'm still looking for information about Helen Colepaugh who married Harmon C. Rowe and lived in Millport, Town of Veteran, Chemung Co., NY in the early 1840's. Her daughter, Sarah, was born there.

My husband's grandmother, Mary Estes Roberts Talada, was born in Barclay Twsp, Bradford County in August 7, 1900. She died Feb 18, 1987 and is buried in the Tioga Point Cemetery in Athens, Pa. She told a grandaughter that she lived in Towanda as a child. Her father, Charles, is shown in the 1907 Towanda Directory as living in Elwell Alley. Her parents were Charles and Charlotte Johnson Estes. Charles was born in Rush Twsp, Susquehanna County, Pa. in 1862 and was buried in the Nichols Cemetery, Nichols, NY. Charlotte was born in 1868 in Thompson Twsp, Susquehanna County, Pa. Her father's name was Thomas B. Johnson. She is shown in the 1880 census as Lottie. I know Charlotte and Charles had at least 3 children in Susquehanna County, but they had at least 14 children according to one childs bc. I do not have any info on Mary's first husband, Joseph Roberts. Their son was born in Philadelphia in 1918.
Any info you have would be greatly appreciated. Paula Roberts, paularoberts@ij.net

I am looking for information on Stephen Sease/Cease and Alzada Woodard. By census records, Alzada was born circa 1820's. They had Mary Cease born 1845 who married Ferdinand Newell. Alzada remarried to Henry Buck in 1858, I assume Stephen had died. Alzada and Henry Buck are shown on the 1860 census of Tioga County and Alzada is listed as Algada. In 1870 Alzada is shown living with her daughter Mary Newell and son in law. Alzada has children John Buck and Joseph Buck living with them as well. Alzada and Stephen also had son Daniel born 1848. Daniel is not shown on the census, I do not know where he was living but he stated on his Civil War pension application he was born in Tioga and lived his whole life in Tioga up to the Civil War enlistment. Alzada and Henry Buck also has daughter Isabell Buck. It is possible that Alzada married again after the death or divorce of husband Henry Buck.

Dear All Whose interest is piqued by the above surnames.
I am not sure I am doing this right , but I didn't really understand the
instructions. Hope it is alright.
The first member of the NEWELL family of my ancestors was John b 28 Apr 1745 in Dudley MA d Feb 1836 Grover, Bradford Co. PA.. Buried Rutty Cemetery. Wish I knew the date of the month of his death or what happened to Hannah and where she is buried. I know she was a recipient of his Revolutionary War pension.. He was married to Hannah WILCOX who was born about 1756 in MA. d 28 Nov 1834. His first marriage was to Mary WILLARD She died before he arrived in Bradford Co. I believe John and Hannah had 7 children in addition to the 4 he and Mary had
I am still searching for information per Oliver NEWELL b 15 Mar d 13 May 1840 He lived in the Canton area (Grover perhaps) and is buried with his wife Jane WATTS in Rutty Cemetery Does anyone have any information about Jane and where they might have been married. Maybe the Wysox Presbyterian Church? I would also like to know the date.
I am also searching for information about Samuel NEWELL, one of Oliver's sons b 22 May 1813 Towanda, PA d 3 Mar 1882 Sayre PA. Looking for his place of burial and that of his wife Polly GREENE b 31 May 1816 Greenes Landing (21 May 1813 per obituary) d 14 Apr 1901 Sayre or 13 Apr 1900 also in Sayre. Their date of marriage was 1 Jul 1836. I would like to know where.
The next NEWELL I am searching for is TL Newell b 7 May 1857 Canton d 1 June 1933 Riverside CA. He lived in Waverly NY for a time. He moved to Kingston PA before leaving for CA where he was a sometime writer for the LA Times before his death. I include him because of his early beginnings in Bradford Co. as the son of Samuel NEWELL and brother of Frank M. NEWELL abt 16 Aug 1854 or '55 who later owned a hardware store in Waverly.
Thank you for any help you can give me concerning any of the above information. Drake Porter dodebi@juno.com
