Dear Suzanne,
Just found this when looking over old message boards. I never saw it before! Thank you so much. I believe I met a cousin of yours in Australia. His name is Guido. I've also talked to Al in MA.

Thank you again, Donna

Can you tell me anything about the parents of Darus/Darius/Drieaus Dryfus Lord --i.e., James b. 1844 or 1845 and Augusta b. abt 1851? I'm actually researching the line of Edson Lord and I hit a dead end here.

Re: LORD Family

DMDrummond — 2009-11-03 14:47:41Z

Davis as the name of the third son is a transcription error. The census actually reads Darus. His name was Darius B Lord (NY 1892 census), or a variety of other spellings, including Drieaus Lord (1918 WWI draft registration). In the 1920 census, he is listed as Dry Lord, with his second wife Emma and mother Augusta. His first wife was Bessie Spencer and his second wife was Emma Lehrman, who had previously been married to John Skuse and Roswell Daggett. Emma's obituary in the Olean Evening Times is headlined "Mrs. Dryfuss Lord." In his mother's obituary, also from the Olean Evening Times, he is called Derias Lord, and was living at the Five Mile, near Allegany, Cattaraugus Co, NY.

Re: Carpenter Murder and Trial

MaryRhodes505 — 2009-10-30 16:13:42Z

From the April 21, 1869 Wellsville Free Press

"None of the murderer Carpenter's family showed any interest in his fate. His body was buried by the county in the county poor house grounds. Not one of a family of brothers, wife and seven children, had humanity enough to give the remains of the poor, old sinning father other than a pauper's funeral"

I am looking for Ralph H Adams whom lived in various towns in Allegany County between 1840-1865. He was Ceres NY town supervisor in tha late 1850's. He also lived in Rochester in 1860. A 1865 census only lists his wife(Almira Elmer) and his children. Last known item was a "Letter of Administration" from Hume. He also had a brother named George whom is buried in Ceres,NY.

I am Judy's cousin (my mother was a Wright). I'd just like to add that we have done a Y chromosome DNA test for this Wright line. If any of you have a male who still carries the Wright surname and goes back to Zebulon (or other Wrights in the county), a DNA test would be a way to confirm whether there's a connection between the families.

Since this has given a response I am going to get the WILL and tell you more.
I was in hopes I would learn more and I think the Newspaper item may help.
I wanted to know if they would have redone it then I would dig for more data and be willing to pay if need be. I am in San Diego long ways off from NY.

IT has to do with the WILL of NOEL JONES. His oldest daughter protested the adjusted WILL and the Dr did also but the judge allowed. Let me get you the data. It may take me a couple days since we in middle of medical situations with three people. SusiCP@aol.com

Re: Zebulon WRIGHT

juliajj — 2009-10-18 19:31:58Z

For discussion: My Wright family was also in Allegany Co., NY in the early 1800's: John Wright, his son James.

1820 Alfred census-John Wright(do not know if this is mine).
John was in Union Co., PA in 1811 (per birth of son John). James m. Keziah Casterline. After her death he married Hulda Kenney about 1834. He is listed on the 1830 Haight census. One male (60-70) was with him. Probably father John.

In the Allegany County history there is stated that James and William Wright were early settlers. Are these sons of John? Records state he had son William.

James and Hulda died in 1850. John is found on census with grandsons and Matilda Ives. Is she related?

Any help or discussion would be appreciated.

Thanks, Julia (Judy) Joaquin

Re: Zebulon WRIGHT

juliajj — 2009-10-19 01:55:00Z

Do you know James C. Wright's parents? I have Casterlines in NJ. I am assuming that Casterline was his mother's maiden name. One branch were in Seneca Co., NY then on to Allegany Co., NY. Somehow our families could be connected. Have you done any Casterline research?

Re: Zebulon WRIGHT

The Zebulon Wright mentioned in the Minard book is my Zebulon Wright. His son Amos was my husband's great great grandfather. I do not know of a Belinda. The children I show of Zebulon's were: Gilbert, William Russell, John, Dorcas, Nancy, Elizabeth, Rosetta, Samuel, Amos, George, Anella, David. It is possible I suppose Belinda could have been a middle name of one of the girls but I have no middle initials to show either. Does this help?

Re: Look-up in Minard's Allegany County and Its People - John GRIFFITH

I have found in the book "Centennial History of the Town of Nunda" John Griffith listed as an assessor at a town meeting held 4/4/1809. Also found he was elected the town clerk in 1810. On April 7,1812 it states that John Griffith (Rev M.E.C.) was elected supervisor. He is also listed on another page as living in the district but no location was given.

Hope this is helpful too.

Harriet Sylvia Dunning

florence962 — 2009-10-16 20:06:55Z

This woman also lived in Allegany County, Burns, NY for a while so am submitting this to both Steuben and Allegany Boards for any help:

Am looking for the obit or any death record information on a Harriet Dunning who died 4/27/1898 in Freemont, NY. She is buried in the Forest Lawn Cemetery in Dansville, NY with her second husband whose name was John Gray. I am most interested in the CAUSE OF HER DEATH for a story I am writing. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I have tried the NY State Health Dept for a death record from the genealogy unit and they could find none. Arkport Clerk claims they had poor records back than also. The little I do know about this woman is as follows:

born Harriet Sylvia Hitchcock 9/26/1827 Richfield, NY
married: 1. Horace Elisha Mack
2. John Gray
3. Humphrey Dunning.

We connect with Humphrey Dunning. Would be so important to my book to find the cause of her death.

Re: Zebulon WRIGHT

florence962 — 2009-10-19 00:26:23Z

James Casterline Wright born 5/7/1810 NJ. Died 8/2/1881. He married 1: Dorcas Wright 2. Emaline R. He and Dorcas are buried in Clarksville Cemetery, West Clarksville, NY. I have a bit of information on him if he ties in. The John Wright that I have was a brother to Amos and Dorcas and both children of Zebulon. All the information I have on John is that he went West which may have been no further than WI though but I do not know. Never found anything at all on him nor a date of birth even.

Get back to me if James is tied into yours.

Re: Zebulon WRIGHT

florence962 — 2009-10-17 03:01:30Z

The family stories we have as written by a daughter of Amos, son of Zebulon is that Zebulon came to Almond in 1818. It was at that time Alfred actually and he settled about what would be the line of Almond and Alfred today. He was there for the rest of his life and died in 1859. I have always felt there are other Wrights related to Zebulon who may have come with him (siblings perhaps) because the story goes there was a group who came. If you know of any other Wrights who came into that area around that time I would be most interested. Zebulon's father is said to be a Luke Wright and that is my brick wall in finding him.
