Parma Sibyl Lyon Reynolds Fri Nov 7, 2003
I am trying to find something about my Grandfather Robert (?) LYON.
He died when my Father, Adelbert Fuller LYON, was only three months old.
They lived on Charles Street in Waverly, NY. The LYON's had a furniture factory on Broad Street. There were several brothers. I have never known any of my LYON relatives.
I guess when my Grandfather LYON died and my Grandmother, Mary Elizabeth FULLER LYON remarried Alson A. PHALIN, she lost contact with the LYON family. I have always wondered about any LYON cousins I might have had.
How can I ever get a search started on this. I put in the name Robert LYON but the only LYON's I come up with are named LYONS...not LYON.
Thank you for any information you can provide.

There's a cemetery near Owego, Tioga County, New York. I've visited it. I'd like to direct some one to it. The town and county lines change around there so much I'm not too sure if I have those correct.
The cemetery was called Stonewall Cemetery. It's not real accessable now, and is over grown by woods etc. It's located on a farm. It's across the river from Owego and since the bridge was closed, we had to take a round about way to get to it.
Would you know the location of that cemetery and the farm it's located on. I'd like to get in touch with the people. A cousin will be making a trip out there in June and I'd like to be able to tell her how to find it. No one in town seemed to know about it.
If it would help, along with others, there is a James BLOW and his wife Margaret BLOW buried there.
I would appreciate any help you could provide. If not from you, maybe you could direct me to someone that might be able to help.
What ever you can do, Thanks.

Terry Shoultes Sun May 18, 2003
The newspaper (source unknown) ran a story in Jan. 1903 about the murder of Edith SNAPP by her boyfriend Claude SUNBERG. Edith was a resident of Union and the great-granddaughter of Jacob I. SHOULTES (1798-1856), the first SHOULTES settler to Newark Valley (1825). Edith was the daughter of Frank S. SNAPP (1854-1924) and Cora SADDLEMIRE (1859-1919).
The newspaper account is a very detailed story about their relationship. Her boyfriend fled after her collapse and tried to catch a passenger train in Vestal. He successfully eluded the law but the train was stopped in Owego where he was arrested and charged.
If anyone knows how the case came out, I would appreciate hearing from you.

I have been researching my family and need your help.
1830 US census of Virgil, Cortland Co., New York shows Luther BROWN with wife and two daughters under 5 yrs old and one daughter 5-9 yrs old.
1835 NY State census, same place, shows two males, wife and 4 daughters under 16 yrs old.
1840 US census in Virgil shows Luther, wife, male 10-14 yrs old, one daughter 5-9 yrs old, two daughters 10-14 yrs old and one daughter 15-19 yrs old.
1850 US census in Spencer, Tioga County, New York shows Luther and Anna (sic) BROWN with 7-year-old son Joseph. The four daughters are gone.
1855 NY State census in Richford, Tioga County, New York shows Luther (53 yrs old and born in Chemung County, New York) and Ann (52 yrs old and born in Cortland County, New York) with their son, Joseph (12 yrs old and born in Tioga County, New York). Luther and Ann say they have lived in Tioga County for 13 years.
1880 US census in Fairmount, Leavenworth County, Kansas shows Luther BROWN (78 yrs old) with his wife Ann BROWN (76 years old), son Joseph (36 yrs old) and grandson, Henry (14 yrs old). Joseph's wife is dead. (The 1880 Census shows additional information.)
I think the youngest of the four daughters is Adelia A. BROWN (born June 30, 1833) but can't prove it. (That’s what I’d like to prove or disprove.) She married Elisha Pierce DEMARANVILLE July 2, 1849 in Richford, Tioga County, New York. These two are my great-great grandparents.
Can anybody identify any of these four BROWN daughters or supply any more information about Luther and Ann BROWN? How about where and when they died??
Thanks so much.

I am researching the HOYT families that were in Tioga County from ca 1800 to 1870.
I am particulary interested in David HOYT born about 1795 in NY and married Elizabeth FRANKLIN.
David and most of his sons left NY and moved to Mercer County in 1842.
Any info on this line appreciated.
