My great, great, grandfather, Abida SMITH, was born in Williamstown, Vt in 1803. He moved to Gouverneur, NY in the early 1830's and got married soon after. His first child, Harriet, was born @ 1838 in Gouverneur, I am assuming. His second child, George Philo SMITH, was born in Cortland Co. NY on July 22, 1840.
In 1850 Abida and his children were back in Gouverneur. I am trying to find a copy of George's birth certificate and also trying to find out where Abida lived in Cortland Co. NY.

I am looking for any information regarding Able PARKER 1769 - 1846 who came from Rhode Island to Cortland County. His wife was Nancy GOODSPEED. One descendant says he had only three children - James R. PARKER - Sarah PARKER and Emily PARKER - the census seems to indicate that there were other children in the household including two who had died in the year before the 1835 census.

Zephaniah and Phlinda had six children and when Zephaniah died she and the children went to the same place as Abel Jr - Waushara County, Wisconsin - there she married Timothy L. SPAULDING. Abel Jr and Nancy and Philinda and Timothy and Timothy's third wife are all buried in Fish Lake Cemetery near Hancock Wisconsin.

This is an update of my previous query regarding Ebenezer COBB. Here is what I now know: Ebenezer COBB, M. Sarah HANSCOM Jan 8, 1782 in Gorham, ME. Ebenezer and Sarah moved to Saratoga Co., NY. In 1806 they had three of their children baptised at Christ Church in Ballston Spa. -- Augustus, b. Sep 27, 1797; Uriah S., b. Sep 3, 1799 and Ann R., b. Feb 6, 1803. (Uriah is my g/g/grandfather and married Elizabeth (Betsey) BUSH daughter of Jacobus Henrick BUSH and Hannah FORDUN.... Sometime between 1810 and 1820 Jacobus moved to Solon... In the 1820 Census he had a daughter and son 10-16, a son under 10 and a daughter 16-26 (this is Ann R.). Sometime after the 1820 Census Ebenezer and Sarah moved back to ME... Sarah died shortly thereafter and in 1824 Ebenezer married Mary LARABEE and had two more sons, Isaac, b. Apr 28, 1825 and Moses, b. Mar 26, 1827. If anyone has information relative to the son and daughter (ages 10-16) and the son (under 10) who show up in the 1820 Solon Census I would much appreciate hearing from you. It is quite possible that they were Baptised somewhere in Solon area...I am trying to run that down now.... Stay well...

Looking for father of Leonard S. KINNEY b.1799 in Truxton. Leonard appears on 1920 census in Truxton. Leonard married Lydia Marie WALKER (who may have been married previously to a FICKNER). Their first child, Alfred, was born in Truxton in 1840 followed by Ira in 1842 and Sophia in 1846. By 1848 the family was in Wisconsin where they remained. Their name at some point became KEENEY.

I am researching the CORCORAN family, WINCHELL family & MAHER family (and WILKINS family) that lived in Cortland in the late 1800's and mid 1900's or later. I'm not sure if anyone is still around or not.
Ann McKenna CORCORAN (widow of Patrick, moved from Orville, NY (near Dewitt now... close to Syracuse) and ran a Boarding House at 58 E. Court Street in Cortland.
Children were:
John H., James, Willie (or William, who moved to Seattle, WA & is buried out there), Mary E. ( CORCORAN) MAHER (Mrs. William F MAHER, Jane (Jennie), and Hugh.
The MAHER's had a daughter Eileen, who married Carl A. WINCHELL.
The WINCHELL's had a daughter Marie Antoinette Winchell WILKINS.
Things I'm interested in learning...
1. Is there an online Cemetery list for Cortland Rural Cemetery? The Winchell's appear to be buried there.
2. Is there an online Cemetery list for St. Mary's Cemetery in Cortland? I think the MAHER's are probably buried there.
3. I am interested in dates of deaths, so I can then try to see if I can obtain obits for them, and any other information on their life.
Thanks for leading me in the correct direction to find things on this family.

Phineas Allen BURT, b. Apr. 26, 1807 and Mary Jane (possibly) WRIGHT. b. March 25, 1814 had their first five children in Groton (Pension Records shows Groton for 2 of the boys); David Frank, b.abt. 1832; Charlotte Melvina, b. 1834; William R., b. 1835; George Washington, Mar. 3, 1838 (my ggrandfather); Maria Sarah, b. 1840, before moving onto Allegany County in 1840, then Cattarugus in 1850 and onto Brown Co. Wisconsin in 1862.
I think Mary Jane (Polly) may have been born in Tompkins County. Don't know for sure what her last name is, think maybe one of their grandson's Lucien "Wright" BURT may have been named after her. I think Phineas and Polly may have been married in the Groton area also about 1831. Don't know where in NY Phineas was born, but he says his parents were born in NY also.
Please contact me if you have any information on these families. Thanks!
