I am looking for information on David GAGNON, his wife Flora and their two daughters. All born in Quebec province, we found them in Constantia, Oswego, New York during the 1855 census. David is 50 years old and is a machinest. Flora is 43 years old. Ann is 9 years old and Delia is 7 years old. It is mentioned that the family emigrated seven years previously around 1848. I found no information about their lives in Constantia or elsewhere in the United States. The five members of the family seem to have disappeared after this census. I am therefore looking for the dates and places of death of these people as well the marriage of the girls if applicable.

Please contact Jacqueline Gagnon at jacqgagnon2406@gmail.com

I am interested in finding information about my ancestor William HORTON who resided in Wayne County, NY in the 1850 & 1860 US census. Any guidance I can get about where to find more information would be appreciated.

The family in 1850 living in Butler, Wayne, NY, included:

Wiliam W Horton 40, Jane Horton 38, Amelia E. Horton 11, Emma Horton 5, George H Horton  3, William Horton 0.

In 1860 Jane, Amelia, Emma and William Jr are gone and William Sr is married to Phebe Ray-Davidson-Horton and their family is blended living in Savannah, Ontario Twp, Wayne, NY.

William Horton 50, Phebe M Horton 39, George H Horton 12 (his), William M Davidson 11 (hers), Merret P Horton 9 (his)

The son, George Hiram Horton, was married 10 Nov 1865 in Manchester, Ontario, New York to Anna Almira Wilkinson. She was a niece of his step-mother Phebe Ray-Davidson-Horton. The Horton and Ray families left New York by 1867-68 and relocated to Wisconsin & Iowa. The family movements after 1870 are fairly solid. It is the New York early history that I am struggling to find details on.

Hello, fellow researchers! I am trying to break a wall in my tree and hope you can assist me. My GG-Grandfather (James N. BREWER) is supposed to have been born in Mt. Morris in 1796.

They had three children there (Harriet, Clarissa and Franklin). Her parents were Samuel Rankin and Azubah Whitcomb. Any help you can provide would be much appreciated. Thank you.

My 4th great grandfather was Joseph WHEELER, born 15 Dec 1775 in Connecticut. He married my 4th great grandmother Hannah (unknown maiden name), likely in New York about 1795-1796. Hannah was born on 27 May 1776 in Connecticut. They lived in Oneida Co., NY in 1808, where their son, my 3rd great grandfather, Richmond W. WHEELER was born on 27 Jun 1808.

Do you have any records of Joseph and Hannah WHEELER in Oneida County, NY from 1785-1845 or their marriage likely in New York about 1795-1796? I think it is likely that they came with their parents from Connecticut to New York after the end of the Revolutionary War between about 1785-1795. I am especially interested in information the New York records may have about where they were born in Connecticut and the names, birth and death dates of their parents. Thank you.
