Tom Sartori Tom Sartori - posted 02-2001 DEAN - I am researching my family genealogy with specific emphasis on my great-great-great grandfather Samuel Dean. He emigrated from Ireland, possibly by way of Edinburgh, Scotland, around 1812 and settled in Stamford, Delaware County around that time. He married Jane Douglas in 1814, I believe at the Presbyterian church of South Kortright. I also have seen evidence that he registered in the Court of Common Pleas around that time. He was naturalized around 1825 and may have done that in Delaware County as well. Sometime prior to 1820 he relocated to Caroline,Tompkins County, NY and over 20 years later he moved to Candor, Tioga County, NY where he died. I have been unable to find his grave site (or that of Jane Douglas Dean who probably died in the 1830’s in Caroline) in either of those three areas and hope someone may know where they are buried.

The 1831 guy is my ancestor and one of the best docuemented of the lot. Cousin Judy has another post with more details, and since then she or someone has concluded we "should" add sisters Hannah and Amelia who married a Vroman and Baxter respectively. My problem is I have two William's in my family file and I cannot determine if they are the same guy with two wives, or two different people. The reason I suspect they might be the same guy is I have Wilson (mentioned in Judys post) married to Sarah Ellen Beardslee(ley) and Sarah has a sister Fidelia who is married to the mystery William Decker. Unfortunately I have been unable to find any trace of these people other than name mention in a Bradford County Pennsylvania history book. I did find one fairly extensive genealogy on the Beardsley-lee family, but for the father of these two girls all it gives is his name.

DOWNIE - Would love to share information with anyone interested in the Downie family that sailed from Scotland in 1854 with John Downie as the head of household and settled in Bovina. Individuals are preceeded by a number indicating their generation and include: DOWNS - I am trying to find the parents of Joseph Willis Downs (b. abt 1813, d. aft 1875 Tompkins, Delaware, NY). I am wondering if it might be an Eli Downs found in the 1820 census for Homer, Cortland Co, NY. I'm WORKING off some info that Joseph's parents were E and Betsy Downs. There is an Eli Downs b. 1777 in Woodbridge, CT to a Joseph Downs, b. 1732. This Eli may have migrated to Cortland Co by 1820, bringing his young son Joseph Willis Downs (b. in CT). Joseph Willis had a sister, Sarah, who married Hiram Williams Hulce in Cortland, NY. Any info appreciated.

Vernon Purvis - posted 06-2001 DRAKE - Henry DRAKE has signed a letter written in 1846 to my GGGrandfather, Col. William YEOMAN. It concerns an appointment of an Andrew More, Jr. to the "office of Adjutant". I am not sure what this letter is referring to but I am guessing that it is some military appointment, possibly State Militia. I cannot not find any military records for my Col. Yeoman through the usual Nat. Archives or the NY State Archives queries. I am hoping someone can tell me what branch Henry Drake was in and then maybe, by association, I can deduce what branch Colonel Yeoman was in."
