I've found a branch of my family living in Ostego County, New York early 1800s. They are listed in the "Early Settlers of New York, Volume 2, October 1939, Records of First Presbyterian Church, Worcester, page 218 and 249. On page 218 I find "1804 Shaw, Thirza: 1807 William." Page 249 lists " Shaw, Thirza - Adoniram, Thirza, Louisa, 1804: Mariah, 1805. William - William, 1808: Stephen Stimpson, 1810."
This is the only record I have of this family living in Ostego County. By 1823 they were living in St. Genevieve Co. Missouri and around 1830 were living in Lawrence County, Arkansas. I'm interested in contact from any Shaw family researchers having a connection to Ostego County.
Thank you
All pioneer families of Plainfield , Burlington & Edmeston. Will exchange family information with anyone sharing these family named.
I am doing the genealogy on the above and have come to a standstill. I have information from the Huntington Library with an article about Cornelius Shellman, who was my gggrandfather and an incident at the Presbyterian Church, Oneonta and we found him buried in back of that church. The article goes on about him coming to the church and offered to help dispose of a bell which was to be sold to the Clarksville Church society and he was going to remove it from the Presb. church. The bell fell and he was instantly killed. Would like to know where I could obtain anymore information on this as the article just lists him as Mr. Shellman. The minister there at the time was Rev. Joseph Paddock. Time frame is Nov. 10, 1848, that is what is on his stone in the cemetery. The only date in the article was toward the bottom, it states that several years later (1850) upon the payment to him the society paid him $150. If you have any suggestions would appreciate hearing from you. Cornleius had a daughter Eudora Beams who is buried in the Glenwood Cemetery, also was related to Aris M Shellman who lived on 42 Ford Ave. and Thomas Shellman who died in Franklin.

His father John Simmons married my Grandmother Rosina Agnes Simmons (Simmons is her maiden name) and in the 1930 census, it shows him, her and some of my aunts and uncles. I'm especially looking for John's sisters Florence, Eunice, Mary and Ann(e,a) or if anyone has the copy of the 1900, 1905, 1910 census in Otsego County.
Florence married a John Haynes
Ann(e,a) married Harris Grant

Also, I have seen references to a Walling's Island in the Oneonta area but have also not been able to find this no any map. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
I am looking for information on Harriet Slayton, who build a home on Otsego Lake in 1880. The Farmer's Journal of 1880 states that in September "Harriet Slayton finished her home, Cary Mede, at the north end of the lake."

Can you help me?? Thanks.
I am trying to find any info I can on my Grandparents, Watson and Agnes Smith. My grandmother came from Ireland and married Watson Smith . They lived Martin Brook to Rogers Hollow Road . I believe that was North of Unadilla, NY. They had 11 children including my Mother Catherine. I believe my grandfather was born about 1869. He was killed in an accident near Unadilla about 1920. They lived in dwelling 187-family 200 on a 1910 Census that was given me. I think a greatgrandfather Silas lived next door.
Help me connect some dots. Thank you.
George Snyder and his wife Elizabeth (Vandercook) Snyder died in Springfield and I am trying to find their graves. She died 5 Jan.1848 in Springfield. We don't know when George died. Any info much appreciated.
I am writing a history paper about a Otsego county resident who moved to MN and became a prominent doctor and a pioneer of Anoka County society.
Her father was Soloman Wesley Southard and mother Amanda Sutherland. Amanda, I believe, was buried at Elk Creek Cemetary according to what I can piece together from the information on the cemetery. Amanda's father was Isaac Sutherland. There is a Celitte Sutherland buried at Elk Creek also, could this be Amanda's mother? I am having a really hard time researching this family.
Wesley is on the census records for 1850 with the Smith Southerland family. Wesley, Amanda and Flora are all on the 1860 Census records.
Any additional information that anyone could find would be extremely helpful.
I am looking for information on a Lucy Spicer (my gg grandmother), born abt 1827. I believe the Lucy I am looking for was the daughter of Erastus and Dolly Hawkes Spicer of Richfield, Otsego Co, NY.
My grandfather was Joseph Benson Lyon. His father was Frank P. Lyon and
Frank's mother was Laura Lucena Walker. Laura Walker was the daughter of Galutia and Lucy (Spicer?) Walker who appear on the 1860 Census for Exeter, Otsego, NY.
I have been told that my gg grandmother was Lucy Spicer; but I have not been able to prove it. The reason I believe that this Lucy is the person I am looking for is because she had a brother named Joseph Benson Spicer, born 16 Jul 1832 in Plainfield, Otsego, NY. I have to think there is a connection because of the name Joseph Benson, which was passed on to Lucy's grandson, my grandfather.
Anyone having any information on Lucy's marriage to Galutia Walker that would prove this information, please let me know. If this proves to be my missing link, I have tons of information to share.
Thank you.

Seeking parents of JOHN JORDAN born 6 Mar 1764 where I know not. He died 26 Jan 1850 Pike, Wyoming Co, NY, but buried in family lot in Friendship, Allegany Co., NY.
He married 15 Sep 1785 probably in or near Goshen, Orange Co., NY Julia SWARTOUT born 18 Nov 1769 daughter of Jacobus SWARTOUT who before and during the Revolution lived in Sugar Loaf which is now in town of Chester, Orange Co., NY but then in town of Warwick, Orange Co., NY.
Following children born to John and Julia:
Michael 1786 in Orange Co
William 1788
Jesse 1790
James 1791
hn 1792
Andrew; 1795
Betsey 1797
Isaiah 1799
Sally (Patty) 1801
JACOB 1803
Julia Margaret 1805
Unnamed son 1807 at which time Julia probably died because she does not appear in 1810 census.
John/Julia do not appear in the 1790 census of NYS in their own home with two sons nor have I found them in PA, NJ or any N.E. state.
By 1800, JORDAN family residing in Cherry Valley, Otsego Co., NY. From there, Michael, William and Jesse settled in and died in Steuben Co. James and John settled town of Cuba, Allegany Co., NY; Isaiah, after living with his brother, Michael in Steuben Co., migrated on to Allegany Co and he and brothers Andrew and JACOB settled in town of Wirt of Allegany Co., NY.
Betsey (Elizabeth) Jordan married Sebastion WELLER and lived in Canajoharie, Montgomery Co., NY. Sally married John DYGERT and lived in Montgomery Co, NY. Julia Margaret married Charles PHELPS, migrated to Pike, Wyoming Co. and it was at her home that JOHN died in 1850.
In 1840, JOHN JORDAN is still residing at Cherry Valley but by 1848 has migrated to town of Wirt and because he died before 1850 census was taken, it has been family tradition that he lived with his son, JACOB, but his will probate states he died at home of his daughter in Wyoming Co.
ANY help would be appreciate on these above mentioned families....
I recently came across some info regarding Simon Swarts b. 1804 in Delaware Co., NY. It looks like his father might be a Lawrence Swart from Oneonta, Ostego Co., NY. This information came from excerpts in a book by the name of "A History of Oneonta, from its earliest settlement to the present time", by Dudley M. Campbell of Oneonta, NY. Would anyone have any information about this? Does the book mention a relationship between Lawrence & Simon? Simon married Polly Blanchard, d/o James Blanchard & Mary Wolfe, abt 1825 in Delaware Co.
This people are a major road block, so I would appreciate any help. Thank you and Good Hunting.

SWEET
Looking for a marriage around 1796 of a William SWEET (b.1780 d. 1853) to a Susannah, for whom for whom I have no last name (b. 1779 in Wash. Co., d. 1862). Couple was found living in Town of Alexandria, Jefferson County, N. Y. in 1828; probably having gone there in about 1819. There is a possibility that they were in Otsego County after their marriage. Some researchers suspect her name
may have been WOODRUFF. Does anyone have this match-up on their charts? Both Wm. and Susannah are buried at the cemetery in Plessis, Jeff. Co., N. Y.
