In our family we have a Peter Lansing, born about 1812, most likely in Otsego or Albany County, NY. He was married twice. I have no information about his first wife. His second wife was Harriet, last name unknown. Peter was listed on the 1850 census in Cherry Valley, Otsego Co, NY, with a birthdate of about 1813. His spouse was Harriet Lansing, with a birthdate of about 1829 in NY. Also listed was James Lansing, born about 1836, and Edgar Lansing, born about 1841, both in NY. Presumably these children were from Peter's first marriage. Also in the household were Clemen and Eleanor Renoe. Clemen was born about 1787, and Eleanor born about 1786, both in NY.

On the 1860 census, Peter and Harriet Lansing were listed in Sharon, Walworth Co, WI. Their household at that time included Elbert Lansing, born 1850 in NY, Emily Lansing, born 1853 in Illinois, and Jane Lansing, born 9.12.1860 in Walworth Co, WI.

In 1870 the Lansings were back in NY, this time in Richmondville, Schoharie Co. Peter, with a birthdate of abt 1815 in NY, Harriet, with a birthdate of abt 1829 in NY, Elbert, born abt 1851 in NY, Louisa born abt 1854 in IL, and Jenny, born abt 1860 in WI.

In 1880, Harriet is living as mother-in-law in the household of Edward K. Joslyn, and his wife Louise L. Joslyn in Richmondville. Edward K. Joslyn, with a birthdate of abt 1846 in NY, Louise L., with a birthdate of abt 1854 in IL, Lloyd Joslyn, with a birthdate of abt 1877 in NY (son), Louise Joslyn, with a birthdate of abt 1874 in NY (daughter), and Harriet Lansing, with a birthdate of abt 1832 in NY (mother-in-law).

Peter is not found on the 1880 census.

Peter and Harriet Lansing are buried in lot 28-2 in Richmondville Cemetery. The dates on their tombstones read Harriet b. 1834 and d. 1898. Peter b. 1812 and died 1894.

According to baptismal records of the Methodist Episcopal Church of Richmondville 1867-1892, Jenny Lansing, youngest daughter of Peter and Harriet, was record #126 on 5 April 1879. Jenny married Charles Hallenbeck, and they resided in Schoharie County. They later moved to Otsego Co. Jenny died 14 July 1929 in Oneonta. Charles and Jenny had four children, three of whom lived to be adults. They were Fred Lansing Hallenbeck, born 1893, Harold Hallenbeck, born 1895, and Karl Hallenbeck, born 1898.

I am hoping someone recognizes some of these individuals and may know the origins of Peter and Harriet Lansing. Any information would be greatly appreciated.
