Researching the Updyke/Updike/Opdyke line from Seneca County, New York:

Charity (Updike) Pearl (181-1916) married John Pearl (1825-1858) in Seneca County, New York and had 3 girls: Elenora, Fanny and Cora Pearl. Two daughters married into the Pontius family while Fanny/Fannie married Abner Stahl.

Charity 68, is listed with siblings Maria 65 and Charles H. 66 in the 1900 Seneca County, Fayette census; Another Charles H. Updyke, age 38, is listed living next door with his family.

In the 1880 census she was with mother Nellie Updike 73 and sister Elearta (?) 44;

and in 1860, Charity was living with Eleanora Opdyke age 52 (unk relation), Maria Opdyke 25, Nathan N. Opdyke 23, and Charity 29 is there with her 3 daughters.

I'm trying to find additional relatives & determine the relationship between Charity Updyke and Eleanora - who is the age to reasonably be a mother or aunt...and if this is her mother, then who is Nellie? I have no real proof of her parents other than the census info above, though I'm still looking.

Would love to share info & photos with anyone researching this line. Mwoz_gen@msn.com
