William MAHAN and Helen/Ellen DRISCOLL. MAHAN: Children: John MAHAN b. 5 July 1827 and Mary MAHAN unknown.
John MAHAN born in NY, died in California 1912. William MAHAN and Helen/Ellen (DRISCOLL) MAHAN said to have died in NY State.
Mary MAHAN'S family is of extreme interest to the MAHAN family in California. She may have married a James DURKAN in the St. James R.C. Church in Cazenovia, NY. Genesee County and Cazenovia, Madison County, NY are mentioned in family history.
Information scarce as the parents arrive from Ireland at a young age. William said to have died around 45 years of age. A drowning of a Wm MAHAN found in newspapers for Cazenovia, NY in 1849.
Information would be most appreciated.

I'm looking for anyone researching NEWMAN, DANIELS, RYAN and FAGAN. My family seems to have stayed in the Sherburne and Norwich towns early on. The DANIELS (O'DANIELS) came in the 1840's and I believe the RYANs also at that time, FAGAN's possibly late 1840's and NEWMAN's 1852-53.
Other surnames that turn up through marriages are GRIFFIN (from Oxford), GEISENHOFF and MORAN (Sherburne).

Posted a query in March 2003 on POTTER, and I have learned quite a bit since then. Joseph POTTER and Mary BOYLE, both born in Ireland, married probably 1860 in Chenango County. They immigrated from Ireland about 1858 and settled in Greene. Lived in Greene where Joseph was a laborer until abt 1868, then bought a 200 acre farm on Long Pond in Smithville. Had four sons: Robert, John H., Joseph E., Frank J. Left Smithville abt 1881 for Buffalo, NY, and then about 1891 to Central Manhattan. Joseph died 1894, Mary in 1901, and both are buried in a family plot at Sylvan Lawn Cemtery, Greene, NY. My goals are to obtain an exact date of marriage, and births of their sons, perhaps from the Chenango American.

I am a descendant of Dr. John STITES and he appears on the "Early settlers - Norwich" page of the Chenango Co. web page :-
http://www.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~nychenan/nwh1784h.htm as follows :-
"about 1791 or '2
Matthew GRAVES, Hatfield Mass,
Martin TAYLOR, Mass,
Colonel William MONROE, Windsor, Conn
Leonard M CUTTING of New York bought the township when it was up for sale. He tried to lease the lands and opposition so violent and great he finally sold township to Dr. John STITES of Elizabeth, N.J., and Anthony LAMB, of New York who finally sold to settlers."
I am interested to find out where the deed records for this record/period are held. As Chenango records only start in 1798 I presume it is in one of the Counties Chenango was formed from, possibly Tioga.
Unfortunately Sandy Goodspeed who posted the info can't help. Any suggestions appreciated. Thanks & regards from down under.

Have recently obtained information pertaining to one of my paternal grandfather's (Jesse E. HART) family members.
In 1958, one of his nephews, Corey Kenneth HART and his family were living in Mariposa, Chenango County, NY. As I'm not familiar with the many small towns/villages contained in this county, I would like to ask the readers of this website if someone might know exactly what part of the county this town is located. What other towns is it near and is it still even in existance??? What route/road is it located near??
I have a NYS map but apparently this little village/town is so small that it's not even listed/shown on the map. Any assistance would be much appreciated. Thank you.
