My greatgrandparents. In 1850 Census were in Posco Twp, Livingston. Co. He perhaps was born in Vermont, about 1800; she about 1801. Had five children: Cornelius (b. 1822), Polly, Laura Lavinia (b. 29 Sept 1828 and Sally were born in New York, possibly Seneca Co.. The youngest, Benjamin, was b. 1843 in Michigan.
Laura Lavinia m. William Davis in 1854. In 1857 with two small children they took covered wagon to Colfax Co. Nebraska, settling om what is now Schuyler, NE.
Would like to know more about the Persons family, both forward and back.
Seems would be of value to more people to have responses posted.
