I am researching Hiram BUCK, b. 2 Oct. 1790 - d. before 1850? He was the son of Rev. Daniel BUCK & Olive STEVENS, Great Bend, PA.
I'm looking for info about his wife, Prudence DEAN, and family...between 1815 and 1870 after moving from Great Bend, PA, but mainly the gap between 1830 and 1845. I haven't found his death date, but family records say he died in Owego, Tioga Co., NY. I'm guessing he's probably buried wherever Alonzo was. My guess is between 1840 and 1850 for his death. I don't have Hiram's and Prudence's wedding date, either.
In 1820 Hiram BUCK was on Candor federal census which enumerated 3 sons and 1 daughter.
And, in 1830 Hiram BUCK and family was listed on Owego census. Apparently there were 2 families under his household with 15 people enumerated in the household and 2 people in his age range.
Around 1845 Hiram BUCK's sons, James Porter, Charles E. and daughter Frances Josephine BUCK moved to Wisconsin and Hiram's wife, Prudence Dean BUCK, had joined them by 1850. Alonzo remained in NY.
The1850 census had Alonzo D. BUCK and his family on the Owego census and his occupation listed as carpenter. The later censuses mentioned that his son Charles both farmed and did carpentry as well as grandson, George.
Hiram's son, Alonzo D. BUCK evidently remained and farmed just outside Owego as the 1870 census has a Susan SAWYER, 65, living with Alonzo, Martha, Charles, Eliza and George.....Susan was Martha's mother. (A "Record of Marriages of Rev. Wm. H. King, D.D" lists that on Jan. 26 1865 C.W. BUCK and Ann E. WOUGHTER married in 1st Baptist Church of Owego, NY. Eliza may be her middle name...or short for Elizabeth)
I have no records of marriages of Hiram's daughters Phoebe, Ann (Minerva), or Eveline in Owego nor their birthdates. And, I haven't found the family on the 1840 censuses, yet. The 1887-8 Directory listed BUCKs living outside of Owego as:
BUCK, Alonzo D., farmer on 46 1/2 acres
BUCK, Charles W., carpenter and farmer (son)
BUCK, George H., carpenter (grandson)
I hope you can help.

I am trying to track down the "South Apalachin Cemetery" that is described in the following article from Owego Times, 22 Jul 1948, p 12: George Noteware Article. Particularly, this paragraph early on in the article:
George and Huldah NOTEWARE.George NOTEWARE was born in 1755 in Germany and probably in the state of Hesse-Cassel.
He came to America in 1776 as a Hessian Soldier. He died Aug. 21, 1825, at South Apalachin, N. Y. He married April 22, 1786, Huldah KLINE at her home town, Salisbury, Litchfield Co., Conn.
Huldah was born in 1761 and died Aug. 1, 1840 at the home of her son Daniel NOTEWARE, as a result of asthma and dropsy.
Both were buried in the little cemetery on the south edge of the Noteware farm, just north of the country schoolhouse. The writer secured a government soldier’s headstone and erected it and Huldah’s headstone in the South Apalachin Cemetery.
Her will was dated June 23, 1840 and is recorded in the book of Wills E-2 at the Tioga Co. court house. In 1828, she was granted a soldier’s widow’s pension of $80. per year.
Her husband George, died intestate, and son, John Noteware, was executor of the estate.
I am mainly trying to figure out where the South Apalachin Cemetery is so I can add their graves to Find A Grave and request a photo.
I have found the following information regarding "South Apalachin Cemetery" in the tioga/nygenweb website:
Township: Owego
Cemetery: South Apalachin
Co Historian Name: South Apalachin
Co Historian Location: South Apalachin Rd, northside; 8 3/4 mi from Town Hall
Source Location: DAR
Do those directions make any sense to you? From what I read, Apalachin and South Apalachin seem to have been incorporated into Owego. I'm not sure from whose Town Hall one would start but if you went 8.75 miles north from South Apalachin seems like you would in Apalachin?
George and Huldah would have been my 6-times-great grandparents.
Thank you so much for any info you can provide about their burial site!

I would like to correspond with any descendants of Philip and Barbary CAPLE who arrived in New York in May 1836 from France (probably Alsace).
They lived and are buried in Germany Hill.
They came with three young boys, and had a couple more children in Tioga, including William, from whom I am descended.
In those early days they were closely tied to the KING, SNYDER and HANBURY families, as well.
See their story here:

I would be glad to hear from anyone with information (anecdotal or otherwise) on these early families.
Thanks!

We are searching for information regarding my father, Frank Anthony MARIANO.
We have been trying to locate anyone that was related to my father or even his obituary.
The last I knew he was living in one of the following locations
East Nichols, Tioga, New York
Hoopers Valley, Tioga, New York
Lounsberry, Tioga, New York
Nichols, Tioga, New York
ZIP Code: 13812
He was born 10 Jan 1928 and passed away on Nov 22, 1998 and I think he was married to a Anna Mae MARIANO.
I think he had 4 or 5 brothers and they all lived up in NY.
So if anyone could help us on this, it would be very much appreciated, and if I did all this wrong, I am sorry.
Thank you.

Seeking the parents of Jonathan TRACY, b1803, resided Tioga Cty 1800s.
Jonathan TRACY and wife Margaret NOWLAN lived in Newark Valley in 1830 when they had son James R TRACY. I know Jonathan and James are buried in Hope Cemetery. A census record from 1850 includes a daughter Henrietta and a housekeeper named Mary ROBINSON.
I would also like to find where Jonathan and his parents came from.
Also, trying to find a source for a daughter Caroline TRACY b1827, before
James. I can’t find her in the census of NY 1850 and later.
Was she indeed a daughter to Jonathan?
Jonathan TRACY is apparently my GGG-Grandfather. The children eventually migrated to Johnson City and Binghamton in the late 1800s. James had son William Dwight in 1866 and then William had son William Dwight Jr in 1901 – my grandfather. He moved to Brooklyn, NY in the 1920’s with wife Mary CRIMMINS to work for the New York Times.
Any help is appreciated.
