I have been working on my geneology for 6 years and found an article about my great aunt Ethel JEFFREYS from 1976. She won a blue ribbon for her acrylic painting. She never married and was very talented. She made my sister and I matching dresses,when we were young, all smocked and beautiful. We were so happy w/ those as we were quite poor. I was wondering if anyone would know where I could obtain something of her art work or anything she made to pass down to my children. I am close to 60 now and want my children to know their heritage.Thank you.

He married Sally and had a son Laurence born 1906 in Cortland, New York, then he returned to England 1917 with Laurence for a visit. Again came through Ellis Island.

I had lived in Florida a few years back and at a flea market I purchased a diary written by Martin J. BRIGGS, D.C., Chiropractor listing his address at 25 Main St., Potsdam, NY. I believe Mr. BRIGGS lived in Tampa, FL with his son Marion Andrew BRIGGS. The diary is hand written and has much information concerning the families listed above. Also many newspaper clippings and a few photos. There is a photo at the end which may have been a reunion held at Stewart Park, Ithaca (?) dated 1937.
I purchased this diary for $25.00 and would be willing to sell for same to anyone interested in it. Please let me know if you know of anyone interested or of anyone in the area of Homer / Courtland that I could contact. Thanks

Raymond B. ROBISON was my uncle. He had a brother, Carl who had a farm in the Cortland Country area. I am looking for information about Carl's family. Carl's son came to Tucson Arizona one time, with his Uncle BRIGGS. (I think that Briggs is the correct surname) That was Ray's brother-in-law.
Raymond was married to Mary L. STRAIT. I am looking for a time and place for the marriage. This may have been Cortland or Rochester, New York. In later years Mary and Raymond moved to Tucson Arizona, from Rochester, New York.
I lived with them for fifteen years, in Tucson, and it was the best home I had at the time.
Also my father Lee STRAIT was defined as living in Cortland per the U.S. Census in 1920. Can you provide any information for him, like the school he may have gone to etc.? Mary L. STRAIT was Lee STRAIT's sister, my aunt.
The father of Mary and Lee STRAIT was Edward STRAIT, my grand father. Any information on him also would be very helpful. The data that I have is that he may be laid at rest in Dryden New York. Can you provide any information to support this?
Carrie Belle PATTERSON was my Grandmother married to Edward STRAIT. The hear-say information in the family was that she had a medical problem and died in Cortland, can you provide any information on this subject, like hospital name, date and etc.?
When I reviewed the 1930 U.S. Census Edward STRAIT was living in Madison County, divorced, and noted as head of the household, with Lee STRAIT and Seth STRAIT his sons. Can you provide any information as to the date of the divorce, or news paper data in Cortland County area?
Other members of the STRAIT family are as follows: Lee born 1909 and noted above. Mary Louise STRAIT born 1904 and noted above. Seth STRAIT born 1914 and noted above. Jessie was born 1903, and Blanche in 1899. Rumor has it that Blanche left the family early due to be molested; can you provide any information to support this?
I met my Uncle Seth STRAIT when he was living in Florida. I at the time was supporting launch operations at the Kennedy Launch Center in Florida, and when I had time off I would go see Uncle Seth. We got around to talking about the STRAIT Genealogical lines, he (Uncle Seth) told me that my Aunt Blanche had all the STRAIT history, but she had died the year before. Since that time I have been looking and reviewing records at the local Family History Center.
SCOTT, Julia was my mother's maiden name. She married my father Lee STRAIT, I think in Madison County, about 1930. I think that my mother was born in Chenango County, in the town of Pharsalia, New York. in 1911.
I was born 1933 in Solon, Cortland County, New York. We lived on a farm, which I found out in 2004 was in my Grandfather's name at the time.
Also I had an older brother, born about 1930 or 31, whose name I do not remember, but I think that he died there on the farm in Solon, at about two years old. Are there any records covering the cause of death?
Thank You for any help that you can provide.

I am looking for the father of Wealthea BRIGGS who was born in 1814 in Homer, Cortland, NY. She lived there with her husband John Gale MARVIN until about 1858.

This is a long shot.
I have a Finis (female) born in New York between 1850 and 1855. The only Finis (female) I can find in the 1860 census born in New York was Finis STROWBRIDGE in Courtlandville, Courtland Township, New York. I found her with Henry age 81 NY, Sally age 69 NH, Henry age 28 NY, Sarah A. 27 NY, Mala J. (or Malu) age 8 female NY and Finis L. age 6 Female NY.
I can not find Henry age 28 in the 1870 census. I assume Finis was married by 1870 as the only Finis (female, NY) I found is Finis BURNS wife of John BURNS in Spring Lake, Ottawa County, Michigan.
Are there any family members of the STROWBRIDGEs doing research and if so is there a marriage record for Finis? I would like to know my Finis unknown BURNS' maiden name. Is there a marriage record in Cortland County for Finis S. that would prove or disprove she married John BURNS in the late 1860s?
Thank you.

I am trying to find information on my ancestor, Mary Jane PERRY and her parents, David PERRY and Eunice YOUNG. The death certificate of Mary Jane MORRIS (nee PERRY) lists that she was born 13 March 1842 in Cortland Co., NY, and lists her parents as David PERRY and Unice [sic] YOUNG. I have not been able to locate anyone who fits this description in the 1850 or 1860 census in either Cortland County or Niagara County, NY. Mary Jane PERRY was married to Joseph MORRIS 19 Aug 1866 in Lockport, Niagara Co., NY (I believe the article I read stated that it was "at her parents' home", but I have not been able to find them in Niagara Co., NY, either). Can anyone help with this family? Mary Jane may have had a brother, William David PERRY; there is a Eunice PERRY (Widowed) living with him and his family in the 1880 census in Jasper Co., MO, but I have not been able to verify if this is the same Eunice PERRY (she is listed as being born ca 1812 in NY; father b. RI, mother b. CT). Any help would be greatly appreciated!

This is going to take time to explain.
Sally Gumaer's Line
Parents: Samuel GUMAER & Elizabeth DePUY

I know from the papers Janet has shared with me - Sally (GUMAER) HOPKINS was location unknown in 1881 when her brother Samuel GUMAER died. I have since found her in several census'.

Hi -
I purchased a baby book in a Marathon antique store in Marathon for Mary Elizabeth TAYLOR (born 3/15/21 in Silver Creek, NY). The book is full of wonderful information, memoirs and photographs. A newspaper announcement in the book says she married Nathaniel Ross HALL at the Homer Methodist Church on 5/28/1955. There are other family names, but not much detail.
I would assume that she passed away in the Cortland County area not that long ago and the book was purchased by an antique dealer. I'd like to see if there are any surviving relatives that would be interested in having this book returned to them.
Sincerely,
Rachel Alt-Simmons

I have in my possession a letter from Mrs. Levi WOODS - Addie is how she signed her name - to my Grandmother Velma BEERBOWER from the 1940's. Who is she and are her two daughters still living whom she mentions in the letter. I think she is a cousin via Malvina (VORCE) BUGBEE wife of Nelson BUGBEE. Can anyone confirm this information? The letter was sent from Railroad Street, Cortland NY.

I am looking for any and all info on PICKETTs in Cortland Co. I have found my gggrandfather, Ira PICKETT, listed in the 1840 census and I think I found my ggggrandfather, Benjamin PICKET, listed in the 1820, 1830, 1840, and 1850 census. I have also found an Eri (Ery) PICKETT and an Ami PICKET that I think may be Ira's brothers. There are a group of PICKET / PICKETTs buried in the Atwater Cem. in Homer. If any one has more on these PICKET / PICKETTs I would enjoy hearing from them. Ira moved to WI between 1840 and 1850.

Seeking info on the COLEGROVE surname in Cortland County.
Walter P. Coston Sat Nov 18 08:46:34 2006
Need names of the four daughters of Luther and Ann BROWN. This family appears in the 1830, 1835 and 1840 censuses as living in the part of Virgil now known to be Harford. Oldest daughter suspected to be Laura Luella BROWN. Youngest daughter believed (but not proven) to be Adelia A. BROWN. Youngest child (son) known to be Joseph L. BROWN.
In 1842-1843 this family moved to Richford, Tioga County, New York. In 1865 Luther & Ann with Joseph moved to Cornwall, Henry County, Illinois. By 1874 these three had moved to Fairmount, Leavenworth County, Kansas.

While researching part of my son-in-law's ancestral line, I discovered that one of the lines was the family of Joseph JAMES. Census pages from 1850 and up show the family living in Illinois. Joseph lists his place of birth as Rhode Island, but place of birth information for the wife of Joseph JAMES (Elizabeth surname unknown at this time) was listed as New York.
Using the Census Index for the 1840 New York Census, I came up with an entry that could be the Joseph JAMES family I am interested in.
Because the 1840 Census only lists the head of household by name and uses date ranges for the other members of the family, I compared what the later census pages say with the age ranges of the particular family group.
The index did not list a city or township, but the page is included as part of the records for Cortland County, New York as follows:
Joseph JAMES is enumerated in the 1840 Census as head of household, residing in Cortland County, New York. This census does not list family members by name but includes family members by gender and age group. This family group includes one male, 20 but under 30 years of age (Joseph), 3 females under 5 years old (proper age group for daughters Eliza, Sarah, and Harriet), and 2 females 20 but under 30 years of age (wife Elizabeth and another unknown female).
Are there any sources of vital records for Cortland County that could help me prove or disprove this as the family of interest?
I am interested in any marriage information between Joseph JAMES and Elizabeth (surname unknown), probably in 1836, and the first 5 of their children, Eliza (abt. 1837), Sarah (abt. 1839), Harriet (abt. May 1840), John (abt. 1843), and Ruanne (abt. 1843) Page 294 of 306
NOTE: as I looked through many of the pages, I noted that the township or city name is listed in the left margin. The page with the Joseph JAMES family unit reads: Preble, Cortland Co, NY
Thanks in advance for any assistance you are able to offer.

I am searching for information about Aurelius Frederic DELAVERGNE and his wife Harriett Emily JONES. They had two children: Charles and Dewitt. They were living in Harford, Cortland Co, NY in the 1850 census. He was a shoe maker.
By the 1860 census they were in Minnesota and he was a Lawyer. I am assuming that he got his lawyer creditials while in New York. From what I can tell his brother and father were also in the industry, but they were living in a different county in 1850.
I have no information on the family of Harriett Emily JONES. She is listed as Emily and Emily H. in 1850 and 1860, but in later census records she is called Harriett E. Also in later census records she is listed as a School Teacher.
Any information concerning these two would be greatly appreciated, most especially concerning the JONES line.
Thank you.
