I am searching for information on George RUSCHER
or RUSHER.
He and his wife and family were living in Onondaga Co. during the 1855 State Census. Then only his wife and children are listed in the 1860 Federal Census in Richford, Tioga County. That leads me to believe that George died between the years 1855-1860.
George's wife was Elizabeth and their children include:
1. Percelia,
2. John,
3. Susan,
4. William,
5. Henry,
6. Gilbert,
7. Lott A.
I am searching for my gg grandfather Alonzo RUSCHER and all clues point to this family. We are trying to prove that young Lott A. is "our" Alonzo.
If anyone has any information about any of the above people, I would love to hear from you.

I am looking for information about the following families:
HUNT, DONNELLY,
DOLAND and BILLS. All have
Tioga County roots.
My paternal grandfather was George Rodney HUNT, son of Garrett HUNT and Carrie E. INGERSOLL. He was raised in Owego and later lived in Endicott as an adult. Garrett HUNT was born in Warrenham, PA on March 17, 1850, the son of John HUNT and Ellen DOLAND. Before that, I have no records.
George R. HUNT was married to Lucy Agnes DONNELLY, who, I believe, also came from the Owego area. However, I can find no mention at all of the surname DONNELLY in old Tioga County records.
My maternal grandfather was Earl BILLS, of South Apalachin. He married Mildred STEPHENS and lived in South Apalachin. I believe that the family was located in Apalachin for at least a generation or two before. I have heard but cannot verify that his father or grandfather was a trapper and that my grandfather's grandmother was Native American .
Any information you can give me would be most appreciated.

Researching a son of Ephraim H. GIBSON, Esq.,
and Hannah Howard GIBSON, William Harrison GIBSON, who married Laura
HOWLAND on January 22,1837 in Berkshire.
The methodist minister performing the ceremony was Rev. BROOKS. Most likely this was Bethuel BROOKS, rather than his son, Asa.
I desperately need to know which HOWLAND's were the parents of Laura. She is buried in the Howland Hill cemetery, so it would appear she was a member of the Wm. HOWLAND family. She was born in 1817. Any clues as to her parentage would be so helpful.
Also, Wm. Harrison GIBSON had a brother, Ephraim F. GIBSON, married to an Elizabeth. I have no record of them after 1843. Is there a record of either or both after that time?
Wm H. and Laura moved from Broome to Tioga Co. between 1850 and 1860, and a son, Oscar H. GIBSON, enlisted in the Union Army from Tioga county. He was taken prisoner at Gettysburg and died in a rebel prison camp at Belle Isle, VA. An older brother served with the PA volunteers, and there seems to be a connection to Potter and Cameron counties in PA
Anyone have any information?

I am seeking any information on my grandparents, Truman VAN
OSTRAND and Catherine CONEY who were married
and lived and are buried in Spencer NY.
Sometime in 1886 or 1887, when my grandmother, Catherine I CONEY was fourteen (14), born 1871, she married my grandfather, Truman O VAN OSTRAND, born in 1857. His father was Peter VAN OSTRAND. I know that one of their homes burned to the ground one day when they went to town for supplies. There may have been another home that they owned that burned down. My grandfather was a farmer. He died in Spencer in 1933 and my grandmother died in Binghamton in 1953. My grandmother had a sister, Mayme or Mamie CONEY who is buried in Elmira NY. She also had a brother, George CONEY, whom I know nothing about. Truman must have had some brothers or sisters, but this I do not know. They both must have had aunts and uncles. I don't even know their parents names, except one. Truman's father's name was Peter VAN OSTRAND.
They were married in the 1880s and had eleven children all now deceased:
1. Archibald, - never married. At the time of his death in 1963, he owned a farm (many years) on route 96 just over the Tompkins County line as you are heading north toward Ithaca in the town of Danby, NY
2. Kathryn, - married Bernice VAN BUSKIRK from Spencer (at leat when they married both were from Spencer NY). They had two sons, Harold VAN BUSKIRK, born March 16, 1919 and never married. He died January 5 , 1997. Glenn VAN BUSKIRK, born August 14, 1912 and died on January 30, 1997. He married a girl who died while she was young. They had no children. A daughter of Kathryn was Ruth VAN BUSKIRK , born May 6, 1916, married a man named FLEMING. Ruth died March 8, 2000 and lived on Grand Avenue in Johnson City NY for many years.
3. George, - was married at least once and had at least one child, a daughter. He and Archibald iived together for years on the farm mentioned above.
4. Isabelle, - married Cecil HOLLISTER. He was an electrician and was electrocuted while working at the candy factory in Johnson City NY in the very early 1930s. They had three children. A son, Donald Cecil HOLLISTER, born March 30, 1913 and died October 1968. Another son, Marion(Jake) Warren HOLLISTER served in the US Army for many years and lived in Ohio. He is deceaed, also. A daughter, Helen HOLLISTER born May 17, 1923, maried Irwin CLAPPER, divorced many years ago. Presently married to Thomas DECKER.
5. Melvin, - married Grace Irene (maiden name unknown) and had several children. A son, Leland Melvin VAN OSTRAND, twin daughters and at least one other daughter, maybe more than one. Leland was their only son and of this date is still living.
6. Beatrice, - married Lawrence VAN BUSKIRK, brother to Bernice VAN BUSKIRK who maried Kathryn VAN OSTRAND. They owned and operated a very successful restaurant in Johnson City, NY during the 1940s and 1950s, while also owning and running a farm on East Maine Road in Johnson City, as well. They had one son, Bernard VAN BUSKIRK, now deceased.
7. Charles, - married Mattie or Matty (maiden name unknown) and had at least two children, a son they called Buster and a daughter, Marge. Matiie or Matty died. He then married Helen COWELL and for many years they lived on Cowell Road in Spencer NY.
8. Adelaide, - now deceased, married Charles DAVIDSON and had one son Charles, whom they always called, Junior.
9. Truman, - married Hazel (maiden name unknown) and together they had no children. She had been previously married. Truman and Hazel are buried in a cemetery in Owego NY.
10. Mldred, - born July 6, 1909, married my father, Dana R ELLIS on July 3, 1928. Mildred died December 24, 1971. She had two sons Dana L ELLIS and Roland ELLIS. In their early school years, both attended school in Spencer, NY because the boys lived with their grandparents, Truman VAN OSTRAND and Catherine CONEY in Spencer on the farm until sometime in the 1930s. I am the daughter, Barbara ELLIS. Married and divorced from George GELATT, then married to and widow of Russell G SEVERANCE.
11. Robert. - married Ina (maiden name unknown). This is what I was told: Before they were married, Ina lived with her parents in a large house that people call "the fork in the road". As you drive on route 96 north toward Ithaca, NY, there is a left curve just outside Spencer. The house in on the right and not far from Cowell Road. Robert and Ina had several children. The oldest three are a son Robert VAN OSTRAND who lives in Windsor, NY. A daughter Doris (Nickname Dodee) VAN OSTRAND now KOHLBACH Windsor, NY and another daughter, Virginia VAN OSTRAND. There were other children also. Robert and Ina VAN OSTRAND lived in Windsor for several years. Both are deceased.
My grandfather died in the 1930s and my grandmother in the 1950s. They are buried in Evergreen cemetery in Spencer, NY.
I would like to learn something about their parents and grandparents, where they all lived and if anyone has any photos of them or their home.
I never knew my grandfather but desire information on both sides of their family.
I loved the family members whom I knew and are now deceasd and I love the few who are still living. However, I need a lot of help in learning about the long-ago family that I did not know but who are responsible for me having been born. I dearly want to know who they were and what kind of life they had.

Philip ROTH, my great aunt Dora (Dorothy) ROTH
and their five children moved to Willseyville, Tioga Co. some time after
1910.
The entire family was killed when their farm house burned to the ground. The only clue I have to the date of the fire is that my Aunt Mary (born 1910) states that this occurred while she was still a young child but old enough to remember how badly upset her parents were when they heard the news. So I believe this fire probably occurred in the later half of the 1910s.
Any suggestions on resources I might use to narrow down the year better?

Also if any has any information where the family was between Woodbury and the time they show up in Spencer. Did John their father die in Spencer? Are there any records. How about wills? For your information, John's father is Joshua of Truro, Mass. who married Sarah YOUNG...(decendent of a Mayflower Family).
As a small boy my mother use to tell me that her great grandmother had said that the COWELL family were decendents of the Mayflower Family. I never put much stock in this until I started researching a family tree that was in our family starting with Joseph COWELL 1771, however I need proof to make the connection.
Any help would be appreciated.

I am looking for information on Elias and Hiley
(COLE) CLARK.
Their offspring are Elizabeth FROST, Margaret JAY, Peter CLARK ( wife Hannah TAYLOR ) , Samuel CLARK, James CLARK, and Josiah CLARK.
I now know that Peter and Hannah , Elias and Hiley, and Samuel show up in the 1825 Town of Catharine, Tioga County ( now Schuyler County ) Census.
I am missing information on James and Josiah. I have found a Josiah in the Richford Congregational Cemetery list in this Tioga County Genweb Site. It shows a Josiah , his wife Fanny , daughter Abbie, son Everett, and son Samuel. It shows that this Josiah died in 1868 at 82 years of age that would make his birthyear around 1786.
Peter CLARK my ancestor was born in 1790 in Orange County so the time period is very good. The fact that he named a son Samuel also peaks my interest.
Does anyone have documentation on this CLARK family?
Where is the Richford Church in relation to the town of Catharine?
Since several other members of the family were in Catharine in Tioga County
I am hoping that this Josiah is the son of Elias and Hiley ( Heyltje ) (COLE)
CLARK.
Thank you and any ideas would be appeciated.

My GGGFather, Waterman McINTYRE/McINTIRE, arrived
in Tioga Co. abt. 1832 and owned a farm in Daggetts Mills until he died Nov.1870.
We think that he originally came from Tioga Co., NY.
We have now traced Waterman (b. 1801 NY) to Wells Twp. Bradford Co., Pa in 1818. That would have made him 17 Years old. We still don't know his father's name.
The evidence that we currently have points to Waterman and Polly HOLDRIDGE (b.15 May 1804 NY) meeting in Wells Twp. some time between 1818-1821.
Their 1st son Hiram H. McINTYRE was born 22 Feb. 1822 in Wells Twp. Bradford Co., PA. In 1818, Polly would have been 14 yrs old. We can trace his Father-in-law to Ostego Co., NY. His name is Daniel HOLDRIDGE b.14 Dec.1776 m. Sally, b.Conn.
I'm trying to find out where Waterman was born in NY in 1801. Any help would be appreciated.

I'm searching for Robinson W. BARTON, b. 3 Sep
1845 - I believe in Tioga County, NY.
He is listed at age 24 "farmer" with mother Rebecca BARTON in 1870 census in Owego Town along with four sisters:
1. Eunice, age 26;
2. Katherine or Kate, age 22;
3. Harriet or Hattie, age 19.
Earlier census lists another sister: Syaina E. BARTON b. 1840.
I have no father's name.
Robinson enlisted in the 109th NY Volunteers on 11 Aug 1862 in Owego, NY. His mother Rebecca is buried in Riverside Cemetary near Apalachin, she died 5 May 1891 at the age of 79 years 24 days.
Robinson married Sarah Melissa HILL or HILLS around 1872. Sarah was born 8 Feb 1850 in ?, New York and d. 12 Mar 1924 in Mount Vernon, WA. Sarah's death certificate indicates her maiden name is HILL and her father was J.M. HILL, mother not known. I have been in contact with another researcher who thinks her maiden name was HILLS. An old letter written by their daughter indicates that both grew up in Owego, Tioga County, NY.
Am seeking any more information on the family that may be available in the Tioga County area. Also would appreciate any tips as to other sources to contact for information, such as the address of a local genealogical society, group or individual who may be willing to do some poking around in old records for me.
I thank you in advance for your assistance!

I am looking for information about members of the
VANDERLIP family that moved to Tioga Co. from VT between
1800 and 1806.
John VANDERLIP settled there and started to raise a family before moving on to Ontario, Canada. Many of his relatives remained in the area of Tioga and Chumung counties.
My information is available.
There is a 1830 census record of an Abraham ROSMAN living just across the state line in Richmond Twp, Tioga County, PA. About the correct age for military service. Find no Abraham ROSMAN in 1830 NY census which matches as well. Search of muster rolls for state of PA War of 1812 personal does not include an Abraham ROSMAN.
Did the Abraham ROSMAN living in Richmond Twp slip across the state line and enlist in an NY military unit? Or, was he living in Tioga County, NY at the time?
If any one can furnish some info about the make up of the 1st Regiment (Davis) New York Militia I will have an additional piece to the puzzle. Did personnel come from the Tioga County area and maybe from across the PA state line?

I thought perhaps her birth certificate would contain useful information on her parents. I appreciate any help you can give me.
