Joyce:
I went through your website this evening and gathered some information, but it was not enough. I hope you can help me.

I am doing research on my grandfather's family. I received information on Jason K. Wright Jr.(my grtgrtgrndfthr) from Commorative Biographical Record, West Shore of Green Bay, WI - 1896. His parents (see

above) Jason Sr. from Mass. and Maria from Camden, N.Y. The article states the Wrights were early settlers of Bradford Cnty, where Foster Wright (3rd grtgrndfthr) the father of Jason Sr. opened up a farm and reesided during the remainder of his life. Foster was a soldier in the War of 1812.

My 1st grtgrdfthr, Ely Wright, and siblings were born in Athens, Bradford C. PA; children of Jason K. Sr and Maria Ely.

I am trying to found out as much as I can about the two families. I would appreciate copies of birth, marriage, death, certificates, not certified; information on business, community involvement, home. etc. I would like to receive copies of everything that is available.

I do not know anything about Jason Sr.'s siblings or parents, I would like to have as much information on them as well.

Please contact me at 520-327-3854, 2504 E. 3rd St., Tucson, AZ 85716, asturias1@juno.com.

Thank you so much

I am interested in burial information for:
George Ashley Bailey, born Nov 25, 1862, died Oct 20, 1913 wife, Caroline, b Nov 1872; she was from Wyalusing

Both are buried in Wyalusing, Bradford, PA.

Hope everyone is well. I need information on Peter Watters ALBRIGHT. I have conflicting information. On the LDS site it has Peter Watters ALBRIGHT as the child of Adam and Margaret. But when I got the informaiton from Adam ALBRIGHT's pension application, specifically, the bible record (written in German), it lists the same children as the LDS site with the exception of Peter Watters ALBRIGHT. The other difference between the two is a female born 27 May 1793. The bible record lists her as Lena Maria and the LDS site lists her as Ana Maria. Still, the bible record shows no Peter Watters ALBRIGHT. So, if anyone can shed some light on this subject, I would be thankful. Peter Watters ALBRIGHT is listed in the 1830 Litchfield, Bradford Co., PA census:

ALBRIGHT, Peter
    1 Male, 30-40 (Peter)
    1 Male, 5-10 (Adam, b.1821?)
In the 1840 Windham Twp., Bradford Co., PA census:
ALBRIGHT, Peter
    3 males under 5 (B.F., 4; J.H., 2; and Alonzo)
    1 Male 30-40 (Peter)
    1 Female 20-30 (Louisa Parks, 26)
In the 1850 Windham Twp., Bradford Co., PA census:
ALBRIGHT Peter 52 M 1000 Farmer PA 148 172
ALBRIGHT Louisa 36 F   NY 148 172
ALBRIGHT B.F. 14 M   PA 148 172
ALBRIGHT J.H. 12 M   PA 148 172
ALBRIGHT Alonzo 10 M   PA 148 172
ALBRIGHT E.J. 8 F   PA 148 172
ALBRIGHT Dexter 6 M   PA 148 172
ALBRIGHT Edgar 4 M   PA 148 172
ALBRIGHT Chester 2 M   PA 148 172

My interest is the child listed in the 1830 census as being under 5. I suspect his name is Adam (who married Sarah Jane FAULKNER, then Barbara BOWMAN), father of Quigg. He is not listed in the subsequent census with Peter. Purely speculation, but perhaps Peter was married and had Adam, and his wife died. That would explain the 1830 census. He then remarried to Louisa PARKS and that would explain the 1840 and 1850 census. Please let me know if you have any information or if you can put me in touch with someone who does.

Thanks in advance. Always willing to share what I have. Chris Porrin

I am looking for the names of the children of Reuben BUMPUS or BUMP, as he apparently was sometimes called. His is listed as Rueben BUMPUS living in Luzern Co., Orwell twp. in the 1810 census and as having two children under 10 in his home. That part of Luzern County later became Bradford Co. This must be the same Reuben Bumpus even though the first name is spelled Rueben.

Information I have gathered indicates: he later moved to Bumpville, Rome twp. and died in 1849 at the age of 89. He is buried in the Bumpville Cemetery with his wife Phoebe Gibbs. He was born in CT in 1760 and served in the Rev War. I believe he had a son in 1800 or 1801 in Albany County, NY and named him Reuben.

In a brief biography, he is also said to have had no children. I believe this to be wrong.

Indications are that he lived last on or near the border of Litchfield County.

My hope is to determine whether Reuben or his brother Frederick BUMPUS was the father of my great great grandfather, Reuben BUMPUS b. about 1800, Albany Co., NY.

Thank you, Marlow Samuel BUMPUS

Dear Joyce,
I have contimplated about 20 times to write you and try and open my can of genealogy worms! I am really not sure if this is the county I should be looking, but the census has lead me here. An older family member told me that before my family moved out to Long Island that they were in Penn. as farmers. The time I am looking for is around 1820's. My gr. gr. grandfather's name was Russel Rowley and he was married to Hariett Bailey. Both born around 1803. I dont know where. My Gr. Gr. grandfather's name was Samuel H. Rowley born in 1824 I believe in Penn. I am not sure if the family in the 1830 census for Bradford Monroe co. I have a death record for Samuel's Brother Lafayette Rowley b.1821 that states the fathers name as Russel. I have hit the bottom on this one and have no idea where to look. Do you have any info on the Rowley's of Bradford in any of your really old books?

I kind of want to say "help me Joyce Kanobe your my only hope!" Any info woud be greatly appreciated. Renee Rowley Friedel

Thank you so much for the wonderful Tri-County site!! I am interested in the Wheat family. Lieudella had a brother Jacob H. Wheat born May 1868 in NY (possibly in Caton. They lived in Caton, NY for 1880 Census. Their parents were John N.(John Nelson Wheat-- name given in Caton 1850 census) and Mary A.Wheat. All of these are buried in Hope Cemetery in Corning, NY. Jacob had a son Willard Frederick Wheat born Feb. 11, 1897 in Corning, NY. He died October 11, 1972 (the autumn of the FLOOD). Willard was in WW1 and returned to Corning in 1919. Willard (Bill) married Madge Magee. They had no children. They are also buried in the Wheat plot at Hope Cemetery, Corning.

John N. Wheat's parents were Thomas (1800-1878) and Olive (1796-1856) Wheat. They are buried in Elmwood Cemetery, Caton, NY. John seems to have taken a second wife called Mary listed in 1860 census, Caton. In fact the two of them are listed twice in that census. Possibly Mary was a widow and one of the properties was from her 1st or previous husband.

It was interesting to learn Lieudella had a hobby of painting porcelain as I am sure I have in my collection some of her lovely pieces.

Thank you again. Karen Medalle

Dear Joyce Tice,
Thank you for posting the great amount of information pertaining to Bradford County, Pennsylvania. You have done a great job of presnting the information on the tri-county website and I know that many people are indebted to you with a debt of gratitude!

May I ask one query, from the marriage records of Bradford County, Pennsylvania by Clement F. Heverly?

On February 7, 1843 in Ulster, Bradford County, Pennsylvania, Milton Holcomb and Miss Polly Simons were married by Justice Milton Bailey.

Could this Milton Holcomb be the same person as the Milton Holcomb who taught at Union School in Windsor, Hartford County, Connecticut in 1836 and 1837? According to a school expense record, Milton Holcomb received $72 on March 18, 1837 for teaching sixteen weeks at Union School (Windsor Academy).

Thank you for any help you may have at your disposal, regarding the possible matching of these two Milton Holcombs. I do appreciate it! I wish you much continued success in your research.

Sincerely,
Randal W. Cooper

I am looking for the parents of Alice (Alace) Victoria Miller. She was born in 1864.I think maybe in Towanda area. Then family must have moved to Wyoming County. She was married in the Skinners Eddy Methodist Church to August Arlington Talada (Talladay) .They lived in Mehoopany,Pa from what my mother had said. She died in Athens,Pa. in 1950.

Thank you for your time. This is a very well done site.Mary Ellen Riegal

Hello,
I am trying to locate an elusive Vandeusen or VanDeusen family circa 1880-1916.

Some family names are:
William and Pauline VanDeusen born 1880
William d 1937 Pauline unknown
William son of William and Pauline born 1912 and
Frances VanDeusen born October 1916.

All of the above may have been born in NY but resided in PA after 1910 or so.

Any VanDeusen info on VanDeusen families would be appreciated. I have found some reference to a Harry VanDeusen of Sayre PA and a Pauline VanDeusen of Sayre born in 1908.

Thank you,

Dear Joyce,
First I want to thank you for all the hard work that has been done to create an amazing website. I wish there were others who would follow your lead. I find it difficult to do much research on a $0 budget and living on the opposite coast. I appreciate all that has been done to provide us the free information regarding the families of the tri-counties. I have found information re. the LEONARD family and those related.

Second, I have questions re. a death record and burials at Big Pond Cemetery. The death record states that Phebe DOTY was a male, I believe that it was my gggggrandmother, Phoebe CLINTON Leonard Doty. Her first husband was William LEONARD, they had eleven children. After Williams death in 1854 she married Joseph DOTY. The dates of her birth and death 1806/1810-1897 are the same. Also on the Big Pond Cemetery listing is a William LEONARD buried next to Lemira, Lemira is the daughter of William LEONARD and Pheobe CLINTON. Lemiras parents are a question mark. Phoebe CLINTON's parents are John CLINTON and Lemira DOTY. Many of William and Phoebe children are buried in Big Pond Cemetery. I do not know if my assumptions are correct but I would like to find out. If you or one of your team could help I would greatly appreciate it.

Again, thank you for all your past and present work on this site.

Take care, Luana L. LEONARD

Hi Joyce:
Your site is really great. I have a loose link in my family's genealogy that I can't seem to connect.

I am doing some research on the O'Leary family. For many years I have heard that we are descended from Commodore John Barry. Attached is a file showing our genealogy. Here is a portion:

Thomas D. O'Leary married Johanna Leary b. 04/14/1852 Ridgebury Athens Twp., PA d. 1922

Johanna Leary b. 1860 (one of triplets) d. at 95 years 02/28/1955

Her Parents were Patrick Leary and Ellen Barry early settlers of Athens Twp. (of Wilawana PA.)

Ellen's mother was Lucy her brother was Patrick. That family is related to John Barry the

father of the U.S. Navy.

I am trying to find the relationship between Ellen Barry and Commodore John Barry. I know John Barry had a brother, but never had any children. I am wondering if John was Ellen's uncle. So I need to find more about Ellen, Patrick, or Lucy Barry.

I have sent messages to researchers in County Wexford, Ireland, and none to date have responded.

Is this a project that you can help me with? Let me know. I would like to apply for membership in the Sons of the American Revolution. I have a Minuteman on my mother's side, but would like to see if I qualify under Commodore Barry as well.

Thanks,
Terry O'Leary

Hi, Joyce!
Just a word to thank you for all the good info you provide. I greatly appreciate it. It is a treasure trove. I'm tracing Van Valkenburg family- specifically a John Van Valkenburg b July 24, 1822, in Exeter Twp., Luzerne Co,PA. I know that the Isaac VV in Bradford Co was connected to the Strope and Tuttle famiies and believe that there's a connection somehow but after 30 years of searching I've not found it. I think John's father was an Isaac VV b Jan 1788 or 1789 who served in Warner's Detached Cavalry in War of 1812 out of Pleasant Valley (Plattekill), Ulster Co, NY, but have nothing more specific.

Anyway, I have a great time reading your material and if I can be of help, please let me know. Best wishes, Nancy G. Van Valkenburgh

Dear Ms Tice,
My GGGrand Mother, Diadema Marsh Allen, I believe may be listed in the 1820-30 Census for Bradford Co. It is well documented that She married a David Allen in 1808 in VT. I have some questions. Which Davd Allen? Was it the Deacon David AllenIII? Could it be a second Wife for the Deacon? According to my family records, they had child, Harriet Allen. Harriet married a John H Robbins.In your records, a Harriet Allen Married a John Hanan ?Robbins in Jan. of 1836. Do you have any further info on these people and relatationships? Your thoughts are most appreciated.

Your Website is artful, with beautiful photography, and yet is most informative!

Hello Joyce,
My name is Jim Musselman from Souderton, Pa. I am researching the family of my daughter-in-law, Laura Litosky.

I believe she is the g-g-granddaughter of Fred and Minnie Covey of Terrytown, Bradford Co., Pa. She thinks Minnie's maiden name may have been Pool(e). I found Fred and Minnie in the 1910 census, ages 44 and 37. They had a son William, 11, who I believe married Thelma Wescott of Wyoming or Susquehanna County.

Can you tell me -- Am I on the right track? Where can I look for more info?

Any help you may be able to give will be greatly appreciated.
Thank you, Jim Musselman

I am trying to connect with the person who submitted a query on Rebecca BASTIAN who married Milton Adams. They are both buried at Turner Cemetery in Canton.

I am also researching the Bastian/Bastion family line and believe Rebecca's parents to be Calvin and Mary Bastian. I would like to share information with anyone who has links to them.

Joyce,
I would very much appreciate and gladly pay for your time and expenses for any information you might have on when my great great grandparents ,William Beveridge and his wife, Alice Scott Beveridge, came to Bradford County ( I am trying to find immigration date) and where they lived. It would have been after 1867 and before Oct 1870.I am descended from one of their sons, Andrew b in Kirkcaldy 2 Nov 1863, raised in Bradford County. He was quite successful in Fort Smith Arkansas, though others in this family seem to have been either coal miners or married to coal miners.

William Beveridge was born in Kirkcaldy County Fife Scotland 19 Jan 1842 and died 20 April 1908.Alice Scott was born 7 April 1839 in County Fife Scotland and died 3 Feb 1905.They are buried in Fort Smith Arkansas .

I can give you what I know of the family's ancestors in Scotland and information on their descendants. I do know many names and many dates.I have Andrew's Bible, which has information I will gladly provide, as well as other information I know about this family .All of which, I 'm sure, is much more than you would ever want on my Beveridges !

Thanks for any help with this,

I have begun a search for my grandmother's family. The only information I have is her and her siblings names, and that her father's name was Charles. I think the most important piece of information I have is that they all lived in Kent Run, outside of Monroe in Bradford County . Kent Run was on one of the mountains and my mother thinks she remembers a small cemetery that was located near by. On the Tri-county web site a Northrup cemetery was listed, does anyone have any information on that cemetery or the Northrup family?

Thank you for this site,

I'm hoping someone out there can help me.I have found a great great grandfather listed in Prince Hollow cemetery at Cadis, Bradford Co, PA. and was hoping someone out there could take a picture of his headstone for me.

Thank you who ever can help me.

Joyce,
I'm not sure if you are the right person to contact or not, but I have some questions and possible corrections on the Wysox Cemetery Listing. Please let me know if I should work with someone else.

There is a Donald Pierce listed with an Edna Hunsinger. Donald was actually a Hunsinger and Edna was a Pierce - my Aunt. Also, there is Judson Pierce buried by Edwin A. Pierce that is not in the list. The stone is very small and could be missed.

My question is, do you know who I can contact to get more information on those that are buried at the cemetery?

Thank you so much for your time and dedication to this project!

I am looking for information about a Joseph KIRBY. He fought in the War of 1812 and died in 1822 in Bedford Co. His wife, Catherine ANDERSON KIRBY and their 8 children then moved to Ohio.

Jospeh KIRBY may have been born in Maryland. Sorry, but this is all the info I have about him.

My search is for John (b 1821 PA) and Saloma (b 1825 NY) Hancock. They are listed in the 1850 Albany Twp, Bradford, PA census. Children born in PA: Eunice (1844), Russel b. 5 Aug 1850), Rebecca Ann b 11 May 1852, Alice (1854). In 1870 they are in Ionia, Ionia, Michigan. Does anyone know the parents of John or Saloma, or Saloma's maiden name? If anyone wishes info on Russel or Rebecca, I'll share.

Thank you, Beverly Bouldin

Perhaps you could help me trace my family, I'm at a deadend. I hope to travel to Bradford County this summer to do research. Could you tell me where I should search first?

I believe my branch of the Minier's go back to the first settler of Milan, Daniel and Polly Minier. I think my missing connection is one of Daniel's sons.

My grandfather's grandfather was William Minier, b 1818. I can find nowhere information about his parents or birthplace. He was born in PA and married in PA an Isabella Yarnell. They had two children in PA (the eldest, Franklin, was my great- grandfather), four in Ohio and three in Indiana.

I know that our branch is connected to George Washington Minier, b 1816 PA, founder of MInier, IL. His father was Daniel's son, John. This is why I feel we are from one of Daniel's sons. I can find nothing on the internet. Where would I find this information in or near Bradford County?

Any information you could give me would be most helpful.
Thank you, Bob Minier

Ms. Tice: J. T. Wheeler, my grandfather, married Belle Grigson of Bryn Marr(?) PA, after earning a B.S.A . degree from U. Wisconsin; he received a Ph.D. from Cornell, then , at some point in time became a professor at U. Georgia, where he was instrumental in starting, in the early twenties, the vocational educational program that was emulated around the country (see Who's Who in America, 1950). There was a brother named Marshall Wheeler. He, my grandmother, and my mother are deceased. Can you, perhaps, give me some insight into finding more about his branch of the Wheeler family?

Dear Joyce,
I just returned from your area doing research on my father's family -Blow-Stanton. Two of our ancestors married Stantons. I could not read the gravestone of Nancy Blow Stanton, however Joseph A. and Rebecca Stanton's were remarkable. According to your website , it says that the Nancy in this grave was a daughter not the wife of Joseph A. Stanton. We cannot find any record of Nancy and Joseph Stanton having a daughter named Nancy. Nancy, wife, birthday was August 14, 1887;this is close to the date on the gravestone. I cannot find any other record of the wife being buried anywhere else or that there was a daughter, Nancy. Could you help me? The more I dig into our family genealogy, the more questions I have.

Thank you very much.
I am now home in Winter Haven, Fl. I am so full of info. that I gleaned while home.

To whom it may concern,
I just returned to FL from a research trip in your area. I went to six cemeteries and marveled at all I was able to find.

I went to this cemetery looking for Nancy Blow Stanton, wife of Joseph Angelo Stanton. I found Joseph,Rebecca, and a grave that was a daughter, Nancy, of Joseph and Nancy Stanton. According to our records, Nancy(wife) died Aug/14, 1887, with no record of a daughter of the same name. I would like to know if Nancy was buried here as wife or daughter. Also, where is Nancy,wife, buried.

Thank you. Joy Blow Vosburg
