Temperance NILES born in Connecticut in 1796,
daughter of Nathan NILES and Irena RUSSELL, died after 1870, probably in Rutland
Township. She married Tiimothy BRACE 12 MAR 1814. She is buried in the Lawrence
Corners Cemetery in Rutland Township. This photo was photographed in the 1960s
by Edward SMITH and stored as a slide. His son, Dave SMITH of Dryden NY,
recently found the boxes of his father's slides and brought them to me. I
projected this on screen and photographed it with a digital camera. Temperance
is the one with the dominant genes in this pair. Those of us who have lived in
the eastern Tioga County area know many people living today who look very much
like their ancestor, Temperance.
Timothy BRACE was born in New York
29 MAR 1787, son of Hannah COOK and Lt. William BRACE. He died 28 NOV 1870 in
Rutland Township and is buried in the Lawrence Corners Cemetery in Rutland with
wife Temperance NILES. See Temperance writeup for details of photos. |
