SHAW

Bill Shaw Fri Jan 5 21:10:24 2007
Looking for information on death/burial of Cornelius SHAW. The last record I have of him is living with his son Charles in Truxton in the 1880 census. He disappears after that. I have found his wife's grave but he is not buried in that cemetery. Any help or suggestions would be appreciated, I'm running out of hair to pull out.


HAMMOND

Kathy Rous Sat Jan 6 12:54:20 2007
I am looking for information on Catherine and Charles C HAMMOND. Catherine was born in 1801 in Homer. I do not know her maiden name. Charles was born in 1804 in New York State.

They must have lived in Homer after their marriage because their first child, Nancy, was born in Homer in 1828. They moved with their family to Scio, Allegany County before the 1850 census and then migrated to Wisconsin where Charles died and is buried.

HUNTLEY - COOLEY - UNDERWOOD

Nan Whitcomb Wed Apr 18 05:05:18 2007
My GG grandfather Silas HUNTLEY and wife Mary Ann (ODELL) had 3 children: Sarah b 1857, Nancy b 1860, & William Franklin b 1867. He died by 1890. All of them born in Homer.

Sarah married John W. UNDERWOOD, born Wesley COOLEY. in May 1870. They had 14 children, all but 1 were born in Homer. John served in the Civil War and was receiving a pension in 1890 while a resident of Homer. I have been able to find 10 of the 14 children so I am assuming that the 4 must have been stillborn or died as infants. Are there records somewhere of births & deaths?

Nancy supposedly married a brother of John. His name may have been Albert COOLEY. They had a son William Franklin b 1879. Although I have been able to trace Nancy's son Wm F through 1930, I can find no trace of her after 1870. And no evidence of the "COOLEY" man she married or when. Which is one of the things I am seeking.

John COOLEY / UNDERWOOD died Jan 1906, Binghamton and Sarah died Aug 1937 also Binghamton. They are buried side by side in the Civil War section in Chenango Valley Cemetery, Hillcrest, Broome County, NY.

There is no information of their life in Homer, except for census records. After 57 yrs of marriage, 47 of them at least spent in Homer, Silas HUNTLEY died in the County Home in Cortland & is buried in an unmarked grave. Mary Ann, his wife, died in Binghamton and is buried at Chenango Valley Cemetery. How Sad!!!


HOLLAND

FRANKLIN

Karen Salaczynskyj Fri Apr 20 14:45:52 2007
In some information on William Sheldon FRANKLIN, who was born in Aurora, NY on 22 Oct 1811, he attended Cortland Academy. I do not have dates, but the document indicated that he attended Cayuga and Cortland Academies and Cazenovia Seminary. I only know that he entered Cazenovia Seminary in 1831, and I am assuming that he would have attended Cortland Academy prior. I have found references in the History of Aurora, NY to Cayuga Academy, however I have not found references to Cortland Academy thus far. Was there such an institution in Cortland during the 1820's?

CROSSMAN

Barbara Crossman Bell Tue May 15 13:47:39 2007
My father's father's family lived in Cortland County through the 1910 census, possibly beginning with Andrew J. CROSSMAN b. 1815.

In 1880 census, there is a family listed in Cortland consisting of:
George A. CROSSMAN, paper hanger - head of household, age 45
Kate CROSSMAN, at home - wife - age 29 (parents are from Ireland)
Mary S. CROSSMAN - daughter, age 5
Andrew J. CROSSMAN, father - works at meat market, age 65 (b. 1815)

In 1900 census there is:
Kate CROSSMAN, works at paper mill - widow, age 49 head of household (parents are from Ireland)
Augusta CROSSMAN, daughter - at school, age 15
Norvin, son - at school, age 7 (my grandfather)

I can find no records of George CROSSMAN's death, nor those of Mary or Andrew J. I don't know if Augusta and Norvin are the children of George A. CROSSMAN. I'm assuming that these two Kate CROSSMAN entries are the same person as their details are the same.

The city directory of Cortland in 1889 lists George A. CROSSMAN, Kate CROSSMAN and Andrew J. CROSSMAN living at 132 Railroad Ave. Mary is not listed there (as a child).

The 20-year gap in census info between 1880 and 1900 is very frustrating! Any assistance anyone can give me would be greatly appreciated!

SEAGER - CHAMBERLAIN

Vicki Hanrahan Ainslie Sat Sep 1 16:45:23 2007
My GG Aunt is Anna Elizabeth CHAMBERLAIN born 24 Nov 1867 in Cortland. I have determined that her parents were Charles and Anna Vinette (SEAGER) CHAMBERLAIN. I have tentatively tied Charles to Norman and Ageline (or Angeline) CHAMBERLAIN, but have no firm proof he belongs to them except location in 1850 census.

Have had no luck determining Anna Vinette SEAGER's parents' or siblings' name and was hoping someone on this board may be able to help. I did find the record of Anna and Charles' infant son, John, in the Virgil Cemetery records, so that was great!! Any additional information would be helpful on these lines would be helpful.

WHEADON - WEAVER - SMITH

Kyle Davenport Mon Sep 3 22:56:30 2007
I had a single reference to a "Clarissa WEAVER" b.1809 in Cortland County who married William SMITH of Arkwright, Chautauqua County, NY. I have never been able to find WEAVERs in Cortland then, and it's especially strange that William's mother is a WEAVER. William's brother Andrew J SMITH marries a Harriet ? at the same time, who does not seem to belong to any longstanding families in Arkwright, so suspect she also came with Clarissa. The family broke up by 1860 and I see the most likely candidate for son "Warren SMITH" b. 1842 working for Charles H WHEADON in his harness shop in 1860. Could this be an uncle?
