I would appreciate
any information about the family of my great-great-grandfather Jacob Ebblie (
3-2-1812-----4-25-1885). We will soon be visiting Lowville & other nearby
communities, will see the graves in Ebbley Cemetery, and look for records.
Where should we inquire for marriage record of Alvin Morris Ebbley and
Marcella Comstock (married 11-10-1845)? Are there descendents of Jacob Ebblie
in Lowville? (We will be visiting a great granddaughter in Evans
Mills.)
Thank you for any information.

Seeking
information about the Michael Kelley family. Michael was born approximately
1814 in Ireland, was married to a woman named Mary, also born approx 1814.
They had a son, Patrick, while still living in Ireland, possible in 1840.
Their next child, my 2nd great grandmother, Mary A. was born in 1844/45 in
Croghan.
The next record I have of this family is the 1860 census and
they are living in Manheim, Herkimer County. Here Mary met and married James
Costello. They eventually settled in Amsterdam, NY, after a brief stay in
Camden, Oneida County.
Michael and his wife returned to Lewis County at
some point, where they are listed in the 1880 Census in Belfort. Sons Thomas
(age 23) and Robert (age 16) along with daughter Lizzie (19) are living with
them. Michael and Mary are buried in St.Vincent de Paul Cemetery. Michael's
father's name may have been Patrick.
Any information about when this
family came to America, where they lived in Ireland, or where they were
between 1845 and 1860 is appreciated. I am happy to share any other
information I have.

I am trying to find
the cemetery where my great grandfather is buried. He was born in Jefferson
County, but toward the end of the 19th century, he moved to Lewis County.
Family tradition indicates that he lived near Port Leyden. Military records
confirm Port Leyden as his place of residence. He died on January 23, 1896 and
his death certificate is signed by Doctor Wm H. Johnston of Port Leyden. The
death certificate indicates his burial to be in Port Leyden and the undertaker
is listed as DM Coe or Cue. The death certificate is registered in the town of
Lyonsdale of Lewis County, New York.
If it is helpful. He was a
Catholic. That might narrow the search down. I don't know if you have more
than one Catholic cemetery in Port Leyden or not. But if there is only one,
chances are he is buried there. The reason I would like to find the cemetery
is so I can place a stone marker in his honor. He served honorably as a member
of the 20th New York Calvary (Company E) during the Civil War. In fact, his
death was caused by complications generated by an injury received in the line
of duty just weeks before his discharge from the U. S. Army. He has been a
great inspiration to me and my son, who recently served in our most recent war
(Operation Iraqi Freedom).
This man is my great grandfather and His
wife was impoverished by doctor bills and funeral expenses. For that reason
she was not able to place a marker on his grave. Now after 108 years of lying
in an unmarked grave, I think it is time for our nation to pay respects to
him. I plan to make that a reality. Your help in locating the cemetery will be
greatly appreciated. Once I know what cemetery he is buried in, I will need to
figure out some way of locating his grave. If I can't do that, perhaps there
is some procedure for placing a marker somewhere in the cemetery near where he
is buried. I am attaching the James Murray's death certificate to this email.
I am also attaching a photo. The photo might not be any help in the task at
hand, but perhaps it is of some interest to the people in Lewis
County.
Thanks for your help.

Pillar Point when I was back there briefly 3 years ago for my SUNY-Potsdam

where-abouts, spouse's maiden name, 2 male off spring's names and possibly his
parents' names for sure. The D.C. lists them as a John Nash born in Vt.in 1800
who married in Town of Wilna, Jefferson Co., a Harriet Hawley Nash. Can't find
an obit anywhere for either person. At one time there was a Wallace Nash
living in Natural Bridge, N,Y., Town of Diana which may be in Lewis

He had made out his Will in Fine and it was finalized in the Village of

he is not in the Harrisville Cemetery there are several other Hiscock family

I’m looking for
information on a daughter of Levi Arthur and Sarah (Sally) Hovey Arthur.
Census records for 1820 and 1830 show four daughters living with Levi, three
of whom I have names for based on “History of Lewis County with Biographical
Sketches” by Hough. (This source lists three daughters Jane Ann, Caroline, and
Permelia who would be living in 1820 and 1830, and a daughter Melissa that
died in 1815). That there is an unnamed daughter of Levi and Sally is also
consistent with the 1840 census record, which shows three daughters (Caroline
is supposed to have married before 1840).
Based on the census, this
unnamed daughter would have to be born between 1815 and 1819. Given other
sources of information I believe that her name was also Melissa and so would
be the second Melissa born to this family – possibly as a twin with
Alfred.
I’m also looking for marriage information for a Melissa Arthur
to a Daniel Haight Ruttan (or Rutan, since there seems to be inconsistency in
his spelling). The date of marriage is likely between the 1840 census date
(say late 1840) and the end of 1844. Daniel Ruttan and family (Melissa, Levi
A., Charles E., Daniel A., Matthew A., and Mary L. Note that the “A.” in each
middle name is “Arthur”) appear in the 1860 Census for Martinsburg immediately
after the entry for Orlando Arthur Jr. Melissa may or may not be related to
Levi Arthur and Sally Hovey Arthur. I’m just trying to find her connection to
the Martinsburg Arthur family if there is one.
The picture I have of
Levi and Sally Hovey Arthur’s family is listed below. It is a compilation from
different sources, some of which has not been validated: however, the names
and birthdates for all but the unknown daughter derive from Hough. (Marriages
for several also derive from Hough). There are a couple of opportunities for
the birth of the fourth child in the 1815-1819 range, although again some age
information I have on Melissa Ruttan suggests she might have been born in
1818, possibly making her a twin to Alfred (or perhaps Alfred was born
prematurely?)

I could certainly use
some help in finding information about George Scrafford and family. He is
listed in the 1880 census as living in Lyonsdale, Lewis Co., being age 39 and
a farmer. His wife, Delilah was 38 and they had two children at the time,
George M. age 4, and Myra B. age 2. My interest in this family is through
Delilah, whose maiden name was Mereness. I have found info that she married
George Scrafford on 10/25/1866 and he was listed as being from Port Leyden,
Lewis Co. Delilah was a sister to my Great-Grandmother Ellen Mereness Collins.
All of the family (at least 13 of them are known) were born in the Sharon
Springs area. I couldn't imagine how Delilah would come to meet George until I
realized that Delilah's sister, Mary Mereness, married William D. Coe of Port
Leyden. He is listed as the son of Dennis M. and Emma Seymour Coe. Any
information on theses families would be greatly appreciated. Thanks for your

Possibly the Hulda(h) Carter family might shed some light. I have been through
every link in the Lewis County Internet site without success on either the

I need real proof of
the ancestry of Hiram Burr. I am looking for any information that can be
CONFIRMED beyond doubt, about the parent's of: Hiram Burr, who died April 15,
1813 somewhere in Lewis or Jefferson Co , while in the NY Militia-46th
Reg-Coxe's Mititia, and left a wife, Catherine Van Scriver [who then married
in 1814, Grinman Austin, who died in 1834 in Denmark, Lewis Co,
NY]
Hiram left at least 6 children: Eunice,b. 1800- Polly, b. 1802-
Isaiah Burr, b. March 9 or 11, 1805, -Abram, b. 1807- , Harris, b. 1809-,
& Duma Burr, b. 1812. There is some evidence these children were living in
Denmark, since Abram & Duma married Munger sisters in
Denmark.
Catherine [Van Scriver] Austin died August 9, 1872 in Denmark,
Lewis Co, NY--She may have re-married a third time.[no longer with Austin as a
last name] An obit on this date might confirm this.
Hiram Burr had 2
brothers, also in the militia in Lewis Co, Isaiah Burr died Nov 6, 1812 in
Ogdensburg, St Lawrence Co, NY and Joab Burr, died March 10, 1828 in
Martinsburgh-Obit in the Black River Gazette on Mar 12, 1828.
We have
extensive Pension papers, but nothing confirms the ancestry of these 3 men.

I am interested in
obtaining any available information on August and Josephine KEMP, listed in
the 1860 Federal Census as living in West Turin, Lewis, NY. One son Edward,
age 7, was listed. Birthplace for parents and son is listed as France.
August's occupation was listed as butcher.
I have a typwritten page
(looks like a draft copy for a news article) of family history on an Augustus
KEMPF, married to E.L. MULLER, including the following information:
Leon
Muller was Augustus' father-in-law.
Leon Muller, his father, two sisters
and brothers-in-law came to Croghan from Alsace-Lorraine in 1855.
Augustus
Kempf ran a grist mill in Croghan in 1855.
Augustus Kempf was the
proprieter of a West Leyden Hotel in 1859.
Leon Muller was prominent in
Boonville in the 1870's and 1880's.
On a Chicago IL death certificate
for Edward Leo Kempf, birth is given as 27 March 1853 Rome, NY . Parents are
listed as August and Josephine Kempf. (I am currently corresponding with Rome
NY Historical Society to try to find record of birth for Edward Leo
Kempf.)
My hope is to show that August and Josephine (Miller) Kemp from
the census, and Augustus and E.L. (Muller) Kempf, from the family pages, are
the same couple.
Is there anyone who can offer help here? Thank you.

I have been on the
trail of my GGGG. Grandfather Elias Sage who was born in 1759 in Middletown
CT. the son of Samuel-- going back to David Sage 1639 to Middletown 1652. We
have found through the Revolutionary War Pension Records that he was Married
in Denmark Lewis County in 1785 to a Elizabeth Chamberlin but in studying over
these hand written personal testimonies from a judge and or Justice of the
peace verifying that she was the widow of Elias Sage sr. who died in 1852,
there are some grave discrepancies in dates etc. Their family consisted of 12
Children, including my GGG Grandfather Martin Sage b. 1784, and there is a
census, I think the 1820, that shows him in Denmark, Lewis County. his son
Lawrence, the next one in our line, was born in Champion in Jefferson County
in 1810. Where we don't know but there may be a Baptism record available if we
knew where to look.
There was an article in the Watertown Daily Times
in Sept. 1951 showing a picture of a house built by the Elias Sage (jr.) who
was a younger brother of our Martin Sage. The text on this article explained
that Elias sr. who was from Sandisfield Massachusetts was removed to Lewis
County in 1800 and there son Elias jr. attended district school there
(somewhere in Lewis County ? -- it doesn't say where) and when he was 15 he
was removed to South Champion and became an excellent carpenter and was chosen
to help Deacon Granger build the LeRay mansion.
We are wondering if
Elizabeth is the second wife for it appears that they had nine of their twelve
children by the year 1800 and the other three in 1804, 1806 and 1809. We can't
seem to find any documentation as to where Elias Sage sr. and Elizabeth got
married and exactly when. Also, the same problem for Martin Sage who married
Mary Jewett -- Pat James lists a Jewett Corners in her Jefferson County book
(page 35) at LeRay now known as Sanford Corners, also page #132 shows the name
Jewett in the section regarding Old Houses of The North Country as published
in the Watertown Daily News and available at the Flower Memorial Library. This
is where I found the good info on the Sage House.. I wonder if it is still
standing? It ended up in the ownership of Seymour A. Woolworth who married
Martha J. Sage daughter of Col. Elias Sage jr.(There is a connection to the F.
W. Woolworth family here somewhere).
If you can help us find any
answers or direct us to some one who can-- on the above we sure would
appreciate it.
