Boyd Bingham
I am looking for any information about my great-great grandfather Samuel
Butler born in Steuben County in 1806. We have no concrete evidence of his
parents identity although it is probable that he was at least raised by Joseph
Butler and Mary Jeffers. Perhaps they were his parents or they could have
raised him. He married Samantha Hicks (not absolutely sure that was her last
name) in about 1823. She died a year or so later shortly after a son Stephen
was born. Any birth information or marriage information about Samuel or Samantha
would be extremely helpful. Also we think he was a Methodist preacher......Thank
you

Children: Frances F. b. 1840, John W. b. 1842, George Stephen b. 1843 and

BEERS / BALDWIN / DEMAREST
Family oral history has Arthur Howard BEERS born in "Orange County," but
we now suspect the town of Orange in what was Steuben, is now Schuyler Co.
AHB was born in 1849, the son of Margaret Mary BALDWIN and [possibly Richard?]
Beers. More family folklore that Baldwins were related to DEMARESTs.
Found AHB and his family in Yates County in 1900 but nothing relevant in
1860 or 1870 Schuyler Co. census. Pre-1854 Steuben County is now our best
hope for solving this puzzle. Jo

DORRENBACHER
I am interested on where I can find records on some ancestors who "passed
through" Cohocton in the late 1880s. My g-grandfather, John Christian
DORRENBACHER, and his wife Anna Mary (sometimes Mary Ann), came to the U.S.
in 1880 from Germany. I know that he was born in St. Wendel in 1853. Her
maiden name was SCHAAD or SCHADT or SCHODT(various spellings!). I believe
they married before they came to the U.S. (If not, they married shortly after
he arrived in the U.S.) They settled in Cohocton, where I believe they became
U.S. citizens. Where would I get naturalization records for Steuben County?
They had at least three children born there: Mary Ann in 1882, Andrew
L. in 1885, and Theresa in 1887. There were several other children: J. J.,
Frank, Cecelia and Nicholas. I believe they may have been born in Cohocton.
(Catherine and Margaret, the two youngest, were born in Indiana and Georgia,
respectively.) The family left the Cohocton area around 1900. Where could
I obtain birth records for this period of time?

BUNCE
Is anyone researching the family and descendants of Jonah BUNCE,
whose name appeared on the 1820 census of Town of Reading, Steuben Co,NY?
A portion of Reading was ceded to Yates Co,NY on 1 Jan 1826, and became the
towns of Barrington and Starkey, Yates Co,NY. I'm interested in learning
what relationship,
if any, Jonah BUNCE may have had to my g.g.grandfather, Peter BUNCE (1772-1844),
who immigrated with his family from Hillsdale, Columbia Co,NY and settled
in what later became Barrington, Yates Co, NY in the spring/summer of 1823.Also
was Jonah BUNCE related to Isaac BUNCE, who served in the War of 1812 from
what was then Steuben Co, NY? Isaac filed for and received two bounty
land warrants for his war service and relocated to Loraine Co, OH, where
he died. Isaac was b.in Vermont ca. 1790, based on his age given in his bounty
land warrant applications;he m.Cornelia Vosburgh of the Town of Starkey and
they had 4 or 5 daughters in OH.
