- Query: SHAW Researcher: XXXX Email:bbpittillo@sbcglobal.net Date Posted: 25 August 2004 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

- 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

family information with anyone sharing these family named.
- Query: SHELLMAN Researcher: Norma Clark Email:norma33@dmcom.net Date Posted: 07 Feb 05 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.

Researcher: T.GunterSmith Email:tguntersmith@aol.com Date Posted: 11 December 2003 I am looking for information on Harriet Slayton, who build a home on Otsego

My grandmother came from Ireland and married Watson Smith . They lived Martin

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

- Query: SNYDER/VANDERCOOK Researcher: Nina Email:ninaalcan@yahoo.com Date Posted: 27 November 2005 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.
- Query: SOUTHARD/SUTHERLAND Researcher: Dana DeZiel Email:danad@visi.com Date Posted: 05 November 2003 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 cemetary. 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.
- Surnames: SPICER/WALKER Researcher: Barbara Sherman Email:sherman13@military.com Date Posted: 6 June 2003 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.
