Hello,

This looks like a dormant thread, but I thought I would ask in case someone is monitoring.

I am just starting my research and am having trouble confirming the parents of John Hiram Eighmey born abt. 1866, probably in NY, but possibly in Pennsylvania (reports vary). I believe his parents to be Daniel Eighmey (b. 1828)and Elizabeth Eighmey (Dimmick, b. 1824)m. 1852 originally from NY, later residence of OH, returning to NY. John Hiram Eighmey is father to my grandfather Paul William Eighmey 1908-1959. I cannot confirm that the John Eighmey listed in the 1880 census as child of Daniel is the same person as middle names are not listed.

Any help would be appreciated.

I am trying to tie a Nathan Eighmey on a 1855 Greenfield, NY census to any family. He was married to a Phebe Daniels and moved to midwest. I can trace the latter info, but trying to find parents, syblings.

I am trying to a Nathan Eighmey born about 1830 that lived in Saratoga county, NY. He was married to Phebe (Daniels-I believe). They later moved to midwest, but I can't find his family in New York.

I have a great,great great uncle named Hirim Eighmey. Who was born around 1842 in Saratoga NY. he had ten other siblings, five brothers and five sisters. At about thee age of 12 the family moved to Dubuque Ia. Hiram father Leaman and some of his brothers worked the mines. After a few years leaman decided to move to Eagle Center Ia. a very small community which only had eight other families living there, not all the family came with, some of the boys stayed in Dubuque to work the mines and some of the girls got married.
Leaman and his wife(Chiloe) decided to buy 1000 acres of land. The land was so wild that they started out only farming 80 acres. The family went in defferent fields of work most were very rich for the times. then small town of Watreloo Ia. was ten miles or so away and a few of the fam. created business there Hiram went the civil war and was a highly decorated soilder. I also will mention the cemetary in Eagle Center have most the Eighmeys of this direct family. There is another cemetary in Waterloo Ia that have many other Eighmeys Buried there. My name is John D. Eighmey and my fathers name is Orville and my mothers name is Sophie I hope this has helped you a bit on your quest on finding more family members.

gtharman — 2009-04-27 02:30:04Z

I also have a Barnet(t) Eighmey b. 1784 in my family line. He was the one of the sons of Philip Emigh Jr. I am trying to find the connection between Philip Jr and Henry P. Eighmey through one of those sons. It seems that the spelling change happened in Barnet's generation, at least in my mother's research notes. If you have been able to find anything else since your original post, could you let me know? Thank you!

Re: Looking for relatives of David Tjerick Eighmey

gtharman — 2009-04-26 18:52:40Z

I've found some research my mother had done in the 1970s. I can trace David T back up to Henry P Eighmey b. 1820. He is in some way connected to Philip Emigh Jr b. 1749, who married Polly Demill (DeMilt, DeMille); (probably a grandson) but I don't have that connection in my records. Philip Emigh Jr was a son of the Philip Emigh b 1713 whose parents came from Germany. I have a list of children of Philip Jr: Benjamin, Philip (III?), Benson, Elias, Barnet, and Mainard (plus 3 daughters). I don't know which of these would be Henry P Eighmey's father. From my mother's records it seems that the spelling change from Emigh to Eighmey happened in that generation.

Anyone know anything? Thanks!

David T Eighmey was my great-grandfather. He was born in 1894. He married Bessie Fanning, and I can find loads of infomation on Fannings. I know there are a lot of Eighmeys from New York, but I can't see to connect him to anyone. I think his father might have been George W. Does anyone have some leads for me? Thanks!

Dear Cliff,

I don't know how I could have gone this long with-out reading
your post...better late than never!

If you would be so kind as to forward any information on Nellie, Peter Eighmey, Lucy Eighmey, anything you have that is pertinent would be greatly appreciated!!

Re: Henry Eighmey

Re: Katherine (MAXWELL)(NICHOLS) AME / EIGHMEY ?

2006-03-13 20:00:33Z

Additional information on this woman.

In addition to what I posted previously, I found in 1860 a Catherine EIGHMY, age 57, native of Rhode Island, residing in Summerhill Twp. In 1870, I found her in the Crawford County Poor House, age 68, native of Rhode Island, illiterate.

Katherine (MAXWELL)(NICHOLS) AME / EIGHMEY ?

2006-03-04 17:32:38Z

I am trying to identify the second (2) husband of Katherine (MAXWELL / MAXON) NICHOLS AMA (EIGHMEY?).
In the 1850 census of Spring township, Crawford County, Pennsylvania, William H. Nichols, age 19, Samuel N. (Simon?) Nichols, age 14, and J. W. Nichols, age 9, natives of Pennsylvania, were enumerated with Catharine Ama, age 50, native of New York.8 Catharine's age certainly agrees with the age category of the woman in the 1840 census. The surname Ama may have been the surname of her second husband.
Who was her second husband? What happened to him and Katherine? She disappears from the census after 1850.

Martha Moor(e) Bradstreet Eighmey

2004-07-11 16:52:11Z

Daniel Bradstreet (1773-1833) first m. Jennet Moor(e), dau. of William and Martha (Mack) Moor, of New Hampshire. Daniel and Jennet had two children, Daniel M. and William Broadstreet [Bradstreet]. Daniel remarried. We do not know what happened to Jennet. We have run across the name Martha Jannet, as well as Martha Moore Bradstreet Eighmey, online and in family papers, and wonder if she later married into the Eighmey family. Please contact me if you have info.

Is this the same Carson Douglas Eighmey who was married to Minnie Countryman, and whose parents were Hiram Eighmy and Josephine Robertson? Carson born 4/28/1898 Town of Liberty, died 12/24/1966 Grahamville, NY.

Re: Barnett Eighmey

2003-07-24 13:30:05Z

Colleen, I am an Eighmy doing Eighmy research and am now involved with Eighmeys with the "EY" spelling. It seems there are many different spellings within the family line. The only Barnett I have is from the early 1800s. Surely there must be a connection between your family and mine since my line originated in New York too. I would be happy to exchange notes if you are interested. I have amassed a great deal of information and perhaps I could add new data for your search. My email is ceighmy1@msn.com.

Re: Hiram Eighmey

2003-06-15 13:39:40Z

My information: Carson Douglas Eighmey, born 4/28/1898 in the Town of Liberty, New York. Died 12/24/1966 in Grahamsville, NY. He married Minnie Countryman 7/13/1930. I do not know if this is the first or second marraige. My mother only remembers "Aunt Minnie". Uncle Carson is buried in the Grahamsville Rural Cemetery. They had one child that my mother remembers, Dennis Eighmey. I have no information on Dennis.

Re: Looking for family

Try searching under Nellie Eighmy. There is a fair amount of info on Nellie on another forum. Here's a sample: " Nellie was born 1 May 1876, and was the illegitimate daughter of Adella WRIGHT, and an unknown VAN EVERY. Adella was the daughter of Darius and Ellen (MARSH) WRIGHT. Since Adella was unmarried, she gave the baby (Nellie) to her older married sister Lucy R.(WRIGHT), and her husband Peter EIGHMEY." Since I am an Eighmy I have some additional info should you hit a brick wall, let me know. Good hunting, Cliff

My greatgrandmother, Cora Elizabeth Eighmey's father was a Hiram Eighmey. I show he married a Josephine Robertson. I show his date of death as 11/7/1936. Children are: Cora, Carson, Philip, Etta, Floyd and Leroy. I am looking for any additional information and family members. Do any of these names seem familiar? I know that my greatgrandmother, Cora, was born in Turwood NY.

mamasdoll_1 — 2002-01-13 17:20:31Z

Since my first message I found out Hiram's parents are Daniel Eighmey and Elizabeth (Harriet) Dimmick Eighmey. I believe Daniel's father was John Eighmey. They are from the Beaverkill Valley area of New York, Turnwood, Arkville, LewBeach (Delaware and Sullivan County). I am still searching for as much information on the siblings and other children.

Hello Colleen,
I just happened to 'stumble' upon your message. I was wondering if you have a Nellie Eighmey, born in 1876, in your
geneology search? She was my great-grandmother, and
I am having such difficulties finding her anywhere. She too
was born in N.Y..
Thanks for your attention!
