Many thanks to Berit Taggart for contributing this information. Berit is researching the following names and would love to hear from anyone on them...Becker and Collison. "Both families resided in Oswego county (Schroeppel Census 1860, 1865,1880 ) from the mid-1800's through early 1900's. Information has been slim so far, but I am undaunted!"
