The "Family Search" website shows that Abisha ELLIOTT (b.Jan. 20,1802) married Hannah Ann FORD in 1827 at Coventry, Chenango, NY.
I am looking for evidence to support that statement.
Note: Abisha was the son of Abisha ELLIOTT (b.1776-1839) and Cornish (1778-1854/5) both of Coventry.

Mary was born about 1869 in Lewis County to Nancy BERCIER. She was adopted by a SMITH family. She married a Will BECKWITH in Oneida County and in Camden, Oneida County in 1889 had a daughter Maude BECKWITH who married a Fred P. BOWDISH of IA.
Mary separated, apparently, from BECKWITH and moved to Norwich. So far I have been able to verify about everything relating Mary and her family that was given to me verbally. The one exception is finding any info about Mary in Norwich. By 1900 she apparently had left her family. Other than Mary's marriage and the birth of Maude I have hit a stonewall.

I believe that the Charles W. BROWN who appears in the 1880 Census in the Town of Oxford may have been the son of Charles L. BROWN and his wife Esther A. of Madison County. Charles W. is age 30 in 1880 and is listed as a lawyer. His wife is Angie B., age 33, and their daughter Marion is age 3. Also I think the daughter was named for Charles W.'s sister, Marion (BROWN) DAVISON who lived in Sherburne. Would like confirmation of this theory if possible. Thank you.

BEert BROOKER was on trial for the death of a 16 year old female who died from an abortion. Her last name was AYLESWORTH. This would have happened in the late 1800's or possibly early 1900's.

I am looking for information on Elmer J. WHITE, born 1884, died 1907. He was married to Gertrude FAIRBANKS, had a son Leo E. WHITE and died all in one year.
In 1900 he and his sister Pearl S. were living with their grandparent Jannette and Buran or VanBuren WHITE in Pharsalia, NY.
Elmer is buried in Mt. Hope Cemetery in Norwich, NY, behind him is a Mary A. WHITE 1867 - 1930. I am thinking she might be Elmer and Pearl's mother.

We are seeking information on the parents of Joseph SKINNER b. c1790's or earlier at R. I. He died in 1849 the same year as his brother-in-law, Andrew DAVIS b. October 9, 1831, d. August 9, 1849. Joseph SKINNER married Julia DAVIS b. c1809, d. August 19, 1881, daughter of Oliver DAVIS b c1781. at R. I., d. April 29, 1878 at Columbus, PA and Temperance [?] DAVIS b. c1788, d. December 27, 1878 at Columbus, PA.
Oliver, Temperance, Andrew and Julia all share the same grave stone and are buried at Columbus, PA, in the West Lawn Cemetery of which we do have pictures of. It is pure spectulation that possibley Joseph and Andrew may have died together and only Andrew DAVIS' body may have been recovered and buried. West Lawn Cemetery only has this record pertaining to Joseph SKINNER: "during the summer of 1951 a lady copied the inscriptions from the headstones for the Warren Library Historical Group...listed...one stone in this lot worn away except for the word "Father", this most likely was a stone for Joseph SKINNER, there are no other stones in this lot at this time."
Note the following from the 1896 Nelson Biographical Dictionary and Historical Reference Book of Erie County, PA: "Joseph SKINNER was a native of Rhode Island in 1800 and came to Chenango County, NY with his parents, where they both died. In 1826 he came to Erie County and settled eighty acres of land, part of which lies within the city limits of Corry, PA where he followed farming and lumbering. He was married to Julia DAVIS , also a native of Rhode Island. To them were born eleven children. This gentlemen was the first permanent settler of the city of Corry."
We are looking for Joseph SKINNER'S parents and any siblings that may have been born. Also where his parents may have been born and buried. In the Chenango website, there is mention of only one SKINNER that we could find, Amasa SKINNER, under wills 12/5/1831 C 71. Also a Betsy SKINNER 5/24/1859 F 207.
Any information would be greatly appreciated. We have a lot of info on the eleven children and would be very willing to share if someone is also researching this SKINNER / DAVIS family.
Thank you

I'm researching the surnames mentioned above. The FOX family lived around Plymouth and Smyrna in the 1800's and 1900's. The BAKER, SUTTON, and KING families lived around Lincklaen in the 1800's and North Pitcher. The PRIEST family lived around Pharsalia so did the RICKARDs. The RICKARDs lived in Smyrna also. Any information would be greatly appreciated. Thank-You

Comment: re Scott B. LEWIS, whose bio appears at http://www.usgennet.org/usa/ny/county/chenango/1898-l.htm#6
Scott B.-7 LEWIS (Henry Welcome-6, Nathaniel-5, Israel-4, Nathaniel-3, Israel-2, John-1 of Westerly, RI)
Several errors in bio:
1. Grandfather, Nathaniel Lewis came from RI (not MA) sometime between 1802 and 1805. He was a 7th Day Baptist minister before turning to farming. He died 03 Jul 1857 (not 1859). He was the father of 9, rather than 8 children. Youngest child, daughter Ruhamah, preceded both parents in death.
2. Father, Henry W. was b. in Butternuts (06 Apr 1815) and d. in Morris (not the reverse), as Morris was not yet formed at the time of his birth.

I have an old quart bottle with "Norwich Bottling Works, Norwich, NY" in raised lettering on the front. It has a bail cap. I was told that the company bottled Coca Cola. The bottle is half full of a thick syrup, probably condensed Coke syrup after all these years. I am trying to find out when the company was in business in order to date the bottle.
Any info would be appreciated.
Thanks, Charlotte Brooks
