JOHN GALLOUP and MARGARET LOVELL went to Phil. Pa. around1770-90. and JOHN GALLOUP died there. His wife and 3 children moved back to the Lodi area as that was where her family lived.

GORDENIER Steve Gordinier, [email protected] Jan. 17, 1999
I am searching for any information on Nicholas Gordenier, husband of Jane, who had two sons Peter Gordenier, b. 7 Nov. 1812 and George Gordenier, b. 1817, both in Seneca County. Peter Gordenier married May Swick Osterhout, b. 5, July, 1835 in Macon Township, Lenawee County, Michigan. Mary was the daughter of another Seneca family, father John E. Swick, mother Susan Ann Kelley (widow of Barton Osterhout). The Gordenier family all migrated to Michigan as far as we know. We believe it is possible that the Gordenier name was a misspelling at some point of Gardenier which is a much more common Dutch name.

GRANT Byron Bray, [email protected] April 11, 1999
Seeking information on the ancestors, descendants and families of JOHN S. GRANT. He lived in Seneca County (then Cayuga County) from around 1788 until around 1833, marrying PHEBE COVERT (b. circa 1790, NY). They both lived in or around this area until around 1835, when they moved to Michigan. They had five surviving children: Susannah Grant (m. Jacob BOICE, lived in Albany, N.Y. and/or New York City, N.Y.), Abram I. Grant (born c. 1811, in Seneca County, New York - m. Jane HARRIS - died 5 March, 1902, Adrian, MI), John Covert Grant (born c. 1819, probably in New York - m. Wealthy PALMER - died 27 March, 1909, Dover, MI), Mary (Grant) FLAGLER (married William W. Flagler and moved to Springfield, Illinois), and Darius Simpson Grant (b. 1830 - m. Minerva BOVEE - d. 1864, Dimondale, Eaton County, Michigan).
Abram Grant may have attended a seminary college in the Ovid area. Around 1835, Abram journeyed to Lenawee County, Michigan and was granted land there under the Land Grant Act of 1820. He then returned to Ovid and collected his parents (John & Phebe) and his siblings and moved to Lenawee County. Susannah Grant appears to have already married Jacob Boice and to have remained in New York, and so did not make this move.
I have a great deal of information on their descendants and will be happy to share it.

Four brothers settled in Seneca County around the beginning of the 19th century. Their names: George Hood, William Hood, Andrew Hood, and John Hood. Most or all settled in the area of Romulus. One of these had a son James who apprenticed in Seneca County as a carpenter, then married Catherine McNelly there in 1825.

HOSACK [email protected] March 9, 1998
My seach for data in the Seneca County area centers around Waterloo and Seneca Falls. The HOSACK family made those communities their home from approximately 1840 till the very early 1900s. Robert A. Hosack and wife, Jane P. Ely, plus six children, were residents of Seneca Falls while his brother and father lived in Waterloo. Daniel Hosack plus wife (Marie) plus at least three children were listed in the 1850 Federal Census, State of New York along with Thomas David Hosack - his father. The census of 1860 failed to list Daniel nor Thomas HOSACK . . . what happened to them? I have the history on Robert A. but nothing on Daniel, his wife, Marie, their children: Elizabeth, Arthur Henry and John. Anything would be greatly appreciated.
