VAN WORMER - Jane Ann van Wormer 1809 - 1889 born Schoharie County 21 July 1809 (parents - I think - Isaac van Wormer and Elsie van Loon ) and she died, while visiting her son (Jesse van Loon Hillman 1847 - 1893) I think in Albany itself on 29 July 1889. She married 03 November 1828 to John Hillman 1805 - 1864. By 1830 John Hillman kept a cobblers' / shoe shop in Washington Street, Albany, having recently (about 1824) arrived with his parents and various siblings from Ireland. Later, in the 1850s, this was one of several families that relocated from Albany to southern Wisconsin. She was probably the youngest child of a large family. A picture of her can be seen (along with my email address) at http://www.hillmanc.fsnet.co.uk/Images/Jane_Ann_van_Wormer_Picture.htm have a version of her genealogy worked through by my grandfather somewhere round 1910, but I do not know his sources and would welcome the opportunity to compare my version of her provenance with someone else - ideally someone closer to the primary sources than I have been for this lady. Ideally I'd also like to know more precisely just where in Schoharie she was born and grew up. But as ever with genealogy, I am more interested in what you do know that in what you don't know.

WILBER/WILBUR - Looking for information on Isaac W. Wilber who was born in New York and married Eliza A. around 1865. They had at least six children: Edward F.

WILBER - My great grandmother, Carrie Wilber, was born in 1879. She married Frank L. Clark in 1897 and they had three children, one of them being my grandfather. I am trying to find information on Carrie's parents. A document concerning the proving of the last will and testament of Alice J. Mattice of Schoharie in 1922 listed my grandfather, Henry Marvin Clark, as an heir and would have included Carrie's name if she had not died before this. My guess is that one of Alice (Wilber) Mattice's brothers was Carrie's father. Any information on Carrie's parents would be greatly appreciated. Dan Deslauriers - posted 08-99

WILSON - I'm researching from Alberta, Canada and seem to be stuck on a Wilson family from New York state. The parents names are John P. and Catherine Wilson. They may have had at least 4 children. One for sure is James Wilson, born Sept. 15, 1815 in Sharon Springs. Possibly a sister Catherine Jane Wilson, born July 27, 1808, and another sister, Barbara Ann Wilson, born ?. While I'm relatively sure James and Barbara Ann were born in Sharon Springs, I do not have a birth place for Catherine Jane other than New York state. I'm trying to find proof that they are siblings. Is there any place that has birth records this far back? I can find these people later, (1850) on census's in other New York Co.'s but no proof yet that they are related. Is there any way to search earlier census's, or do they just list the head of household and not the children's names? Any suggestions you might have for me to proceed would be so greatfully appreciated. Judy Carleton - posted 11-01

I believe she was listed in the 1870 US Census in the household of Joseph Zeh and Julia Ann Mattice. Joseph Zeh was Peter's older brother. This would have been the time that her mother gave birth to her younger brother, Charles Zeh. Kate died in 1872, and Peter Zeh remarried Margaret Amelia Luckey in 1873. In the 1875 New York Census Nettie was living in the household of Peter and Margaret A. with Charles and two step-brothers. There is a grave in the Zeh Family Cemetery for Nettie Zeh, born 1868 and died 1879, but "Nittie" Zeh is listed again in the 1880 Census in her father's household. She seems to disappear after 1880, and I am wondering if it is her grave in the Zeh Family Cemetery. The biography for Nettie Zeh on the findagrave.com site list Joseph and Julia Zeh as her parents, but there is no evidence that I have found that they had a daughter named Nettie, other than the 1870 Census.

ZIMMER/KILMER/LATHAM - Almira Zimmer was born 16 May 1818 in Schoharie County, the daughter of Jacob G. Zimmer and Mariah Kilmer. Almira’s father died in 1919, followed by her mother in 1820, leaving her an orphan at the age of 2. I was told by a Kilmer descendant several years ago that Almira was then raised by Peter Zimmer. I believe he was Peter A. Zimmer, born 1770 in Schoharie County to Johan Adam Zimmer and Margaretha Maria Schaeffer. I believe Peter was married to Mary “Polly” Seeley, and they had other children of their own. In 1837 Almira Zimmer married Freeman Curtland Latham, who was born in New London County Connecticut, but later moved to Schoharie County. Almira and Curt Latham had 8 children, including George Zimmer Latham, born 24 January 1851 in Schoharie County. Meanwhile, the youngest child of George Henry Hilts and Maria Elizabetha Dominick was Jenette Hilts, born 5 November 1849 in Gallupville. Though Jenette's parents were living at the time, Jenette was listed in the household of Peter A. Zimmer and his wife Polly in the 1860 US Census, rather than her parents home. Evidently this was the same couple who had raised Almira Zimmer. On 10 January 1872, Jenette Hilts married Almira Zimmer’s son, George Zimmer Latham. I am wondering if any Latham, Zimmer or Hilts descendants know why Jenette Hilts was in the Zimmer household in 1860, and if it was, in fact, the same family that had raised Almira Zimmer Latham. Thanks for any help you can offer. Linda Tutt - posted 04-16
