I am seeking information pertaining to my paternal grandmother, Edna
(MILLAGE) HART and her family.
I have recently received information about Edna's parents, Oscar and Isabelle
(DREW) MILLAGE, and two of her siblings (probably
more).
They probably lived in the Candor area for a while and possibly has descendants
that still may live in the Tioga County area.
Edna's brother, Lee MILLAGE, is supposed to have lived in the Candor
area and had at least one daughter, Thelma MILLAGE, who married Andy
CONSALVI.
Her sister Florence (MILLAGE) HART BILLINGTON was
also originally from the area but possibly moved to the Tompkins County area
after her 2nd marriage. Her known children's names were Lloyd and Alta.
I would appreciate hearing from anyone with knowledge of any of these family members or any of their descendants.

We have an unpublished 300 page memoir of our grandfather, Henry
WHEATON, who was born on Richford Hill, Feb 8, 1869,
along with his twin, Harriet.
His father, Mason Solomon WHEATON, was also a farmer there, as was his maternal
grandfather, Benjamin BERRY. Other surnames living

The AYERS left for Harford Mills in 1890, renting their farm in Richford
Hill.
In the 1870's, Dem MILLER was the blacksmith at Harford Mills.
There may be more in the memoirs. Also I have names of students/football
team at Dryden Academy in the 1890's.
We are interested in:
1. Descendants of Benjamin Berry, (1804-1890, of Richford)
2. Descendants of the twins Henry and Harriet Wheaton b. 2/8/1869, Richford
Hill, Tioga Co.

I am looking for any info on a Michael
CARRIGG(farm equip and carriage builder) born and
resided in Owego, and married Katherine COLLINS DUNNE,
also born in Owego.
I'll guess Michael CARRIGG was born around 1860, since his son Paul Dunne
Carrigg was born Dec 25, 1894 in NY, NY.
Gay's Historical Gazetteer of Tioga Co. c 1887 lists:
Michael Carrigg as a machinist bds at 118 Paige St.
Directory of Tioga Co., NY 1887-88, page 112 lists:
Michael Carrigg, machinist, and Patrick Carrigg as yardmaster Erie R.R.,
118 Paige St.
My mother in law, (sheila carrigg) thinks Michael died in Owego in 1948.
Our lineage stops there except for the fact that there are about 15 gravesites
at St. Patricks cemetery with the names:
Carrigg, Dunne, and Collins, all relatives.
If you run across any info on these people or pictures, please send them

Jesse was born 17 Aug 1885 in Cayuga County, NY to Alfonzo (hard to read)
HART (born in Tioga Co.) and Ellen F. (or J.) DENNIS
or DAVIS (again hard to read) (b Tioga Co.).
He died 29 Feb 1936 at his home on the Bone Plain Road in West Dryden, NY
at the age of 50 years, 6 months 12 days and was buried in the Willow Glen
Cemetery, Dryden, NY on 3 Mar 1936.
Jesse married Edna Drew MILLAGE, b. 8 Sep 1887, the
daughter of Oscar Abram MILLAGE and Isabelle D. DREW.
I believe at one time they lived in the Candor area of Tioga Co. because
her newspaper obit listed her place of birth as Candor. I have since obtained
documents that validate her birthplace as Danby, Tompkins County, NY.
She died 9 Apr 1983 in Ithaca, NY, and was buried in Willow Glen Cemetery
also.

this for sure. Elias emigrated on a boat from Holland. He was a minute man
in the Rev. War and later it is believed he drew a pension for his service.

1. Josiah,
2. James,
3. Elizabeth,
4. Margaret,
5. Samuel.
Elias was supposed to have been born in 1755 (country unknown).
I would venture an educated guess of one of the British Isles.
I do have reason to believe that Elias, Hiley , and Margaret are buried in
Chautauqua Co. NY.
I would like to find information on:

Looking for information on John STONER listed
in the 1810 census.
I believe this is the John STONER, son of Henry STONER and brother of Nicholas
STONER.
John died during the war of 1812 at Sacket's Harbor. He was married to Susanna
PHILES.
Since both Nicholas and John had sons named John it is difficult to be certain
that I have the correct one.
Would be happy to share information we have.
Thank you.

I am researching William GORDON/GORDEN b. 1760.
and his wife Rhoda, b. 1773.
They resided in Jericho in Delaware Co. in 1778 when he signed the charter
for the learning academy.
Between 1791-1794 he purchased land at Oxford where there was a
Henry GORDON, who might have been a brother, b 1768.
In 1791 he purchased lot #93 in Fayette. Many other land deeds are located
in Tioga Co.
In 1805, he ran Wattles Ferry across the Susquahannah River at Franklin.
One source said he had a large family, but only one son Samuel is known and
possibly another is William (B). His sister is possibly Roxana, wife of Stephen
WOOD.
William died 1825 and Rhoda remarried to William
ROOT.
Question: where did they come from and who are their children?
Can not find on 1790 census. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

He was married to Mehitable PECK, whose family was
from CT.
In 1800 census, Edmund is listed as Edward HUBBARD, pg 276, Tioga Co,
Spencer.
In 1810 census, Mehitable is listed as Matetteabel HUBBARD. Sons of Edmund
and Mehitable are also listed in 1810 census as Rodney and Isaac.

HOBART/HUBBARD are gone from 1880 Tioga Census.
Rodney HOBART, b. Mar 23,1783, m. Margaret HUGG. Since he appears to
have been in Spencer or at least Tioga Co from 1810 on, he probably married
in Tioga Co. The Hugg's I have found, but don't know the relationship for
are:
1800 census, Isaac HUGG and William HUGG, both listed pg 276, Tioga Co.
Same page as Hobarts above.

Tioga Co, Danby
1820 census, Isaac HUGG and Daniel HUGG, listed pg 276, Tioga Co,
Spencer. This is the same page as HOBARTS above.
1850 census, Milton HUGG, pg 122, Tioga Co, Spencer
1850 census, Lyman HUGG, pg 100, TIoga Co, Spencer
1860 census, Milton HUGG, pg 682, Tioga Co

census. I believe Cora died in Springfield, probably between 1904 and 1908.
According to the 1910 MA census, Seymour "removed" to NY, but I don't know
where. Seymour remarried at some time, as I have a picture of him and his
wife ca 1919.
I have tried to connect to the LATOURETTE family with no luck.
(Why would anyone name their son LaTourette unless it was a family name?
:)
If you have any info on Seymour or RING please email me.
I would appreciate ANY leads.
Thank you.

I am seeking the almost IMPOSSIBLE.
I am searching/seeking for my g-g grandmother's maiden name. The following is what I know, and just maybe someone might know or suggest something.
Harriet Unknown was born 1811 Tioga Co, New York; d Lincoln County, Ontario, Canada, 15 Feb 1873 (61y9m25d) and is buried beside her husband, Fulton Stone Cemetery, Ontario.
Harriet UNKNOWN md Alexander NELSON who was five
years her junior, possibly in Ontario. From the census records I believe
the 3 oldest children are from a first marriage, possibly with the surname
NELSON.
The first three children are:
1. James W NELSON, b 1831;
2. Hannah M NELSON b 1834;
3. George F NELSON b 1836.
If these children belonged to Alexander, he would have fathered James at
the age of 15-16 yrs old. In addition these children are not listed in
Alexander's will, but all others are.
The mystery remains, did Harriet marry 1st a NELSON; and 2nd a NELSON, possibly a cousin?
Any information or help is greatly appreciated.

Need any information on Clarence F. THOMPSON who
married Josie PERSONIUS or Charles H. THOMPSON who married Mary
THOMAS. Charles is the father of Clarence. I haven't
found any info prior to this on any of the above.
Josie PERSONIUS, b: 1889 Tompkins Co. NY, d 1952 in Ketchumville, Town of Newark Valley NY, buried in Berkshire NY His Parents were Everett PERSONIUS b:1862 and Ida (?) b:1869
One known brother is Jay b:1887
Josie (Josephine on census 1892) married Clarence F. THOMPSON, date unknown, place was in PA I believe. This is because he was married to a Mary THOMAS first and later found out they were cousins and divorced. In that divorce was stipulated if he remarried he could not live in NY. My father was born in Ulster Twp. Bradford Co. PA in July 1917. He had 1 sister Versie (Versy) 2 brothers Paul and Boyd.
My fathers name was Neal.
Clarence THOMPSON's parents: Charles N. THOMPSON, B. 13 May 1866, D. 12 Nov 1934 Buried Berkshire Cemetery Mary THOMAS, b. 6 Aug 1864, d. 3 Nov 1940, buried Berkshire Cemetery. This Mary Thomas is not the same one Clarence was married to. Clarence was born in Berkshire NY.
I am hung up as to the PERSONIUS family prior to Everett. There are a lot of PERSONIUS listed in the Mormon Church records in NYS. I am hung up on the THOMPSON family at Charles THOMPSON. Can't find marrage of Clarence and Josie THOMPSON.
Josie's ggg grandfather's brother was James PERSONIUS. Cornelius PERSONIUS is Josie's great uncle. He fought in the Civil War, buried in Candor NY I believe.
Josie's family is French and Peekapu Indian acording to family members.
Clarence's family is English/Irish I believe.
Any help would be appreciated.

I am looking for information on the LIDDY family.
We have a grandfather named Jeremiah LIDDY. A newpaper article we found about
his death in Hagerstown, MD in 1903 said he was survived by his mother and
3 brothers and 2 sisters of Waverly NY. His initials are J.J. That's all
we know about him.
In addition to information about the family, I'd like to know what newspapers were published in the area at this time, so I could check them. I know there are a lot of LIDDY's in Chemung Co., but I've yet to make any connection between Jeremiah and them (although one of them is named Jeremiah).
Thanks in advance.

Daniel COLLINS was born between 1770 and 1794
and died June 27, 1820 in Berkshire, NY. The following is all the information
I have available about him:
"I have little record of the COLLINS line. Daniel COLLINS was a cooper and died June 27, 1820 at Berkshire, NY, where they had come from Onondaga Co. NY. His wife's name was Anna Lisk (see Hyde).
They had three children:
Bristol Lisk COLLINS, b. May 26, 1809
Orra Ann b. Dec 3, 1811
George Bristol Lisk COLLINS, b. Dec 19, 1815, m. Ann
BRYANT
Daniel COLLINS had two sisters, Olive and Wealthy.
The records state they were born in Richmond, Mass. and were the children of Daniel and Amy (Bristol) COLLINS.
Evidently, the George Bristol in the family name, comes form the father of Amy Bristol. I got most of this from Aunt Ann, as well as notes from the Hyde family. Olive COLLINS married Ransom Wiliams, and Wealthy married Judge McKnight. Aunt Ann said that some of the family in Ohio, after great grandfather died, went to New York and brought the family to Ohio. She was a little vague in the matter, so I can state things exactly."
Above taken from a Johnson history done by Caroline COUCH WORLEY, 1911.
Any information or leads would be great.

I am looking for my gg grandfather, Lewis B.
GRIFFIN.
I found in a Paster's handbook, Book B. on the Tompkins Web site, that he married Fanny M. POOL, 17 Oct 1882, and that he lived in Candor and she in Ithica. Could this be the same Lewis B. GRIFFIN, that is on the Town of Caroline census in 1850 and 1865 with wife, Sarah D., b. 1832, Putnam Co., NY and Lewis B., b. 1823, Putnam Co.?
1865 census, has them listed with having 6 ch., only 4 on the census:
1. Ada E., 1854,
2. Benjamin, 1855,
3. Ida Mae, Sep 1859 (my g.grandmother)
4.Walter, 1860?
Fanny M. POOL could be a second wife.
I am looking for where he is buried and possibly any further information on this family.
I didn't see any Candor cem. Not familiar with this area, but I know there has to at least one.??
My grandmother who lived to be 102, could only tell me her mother's family
came from the Caroline area. Not much help and I have searched all the cem.
in the Towns of Caroline, Dryden and Ithaca trying to find him.
I think his grandfather could be the Benjamin GRIFFIN that was one of the
first settlers in Caroline.
Any help would be great.
