    Paul,
    I have a scan of a pamphlet about towns & their origins from the genealogy dept. of the Flower Memorial Library that I got from Bill Freeman. It says the origin of LeRay was Brownville (1806) and the original of Brownville was Leyden (1802).

    The Town of Leyden was established March 10, 1797 according to this website: http://www.towpathinn.com/history.htm

    Hope that helps. I learned a lot researching this question. :)

    531 Washington Street, 3rd Floor
    Watertown, New York 13601


    Dear Susan Yecies,

    I am writing to you in hopes of finding more details of an event which took place many years ago.

    In particular, the event was a rather gruesome one, however it involved one of my ancestors, Robert Sixbury. What does the name Robert Sixbury have to do with your organization?
    Let me explain....(See references noted below)

    Dr. John Grafton, a former member of your organization (1),(2) was called to the home of my ancestor many years ago (exact date uncertain). His purpose was to amputate (if necessary) the right leg of Robert Sixbury who had fallen asleep in front of his fireplace, apparently with his right leg a bit too close to the fire. (3) After the successful amputation, he lived many more years, (approximately to the age of 110).

    I am hoping that you could lead me to the source of additional information about the specific date of the amputation/operation of my ancestors right leg.
    Does your organization have any records about the appointments kept by Dr. John Grafton from the "4 Iron Block" location (4) in Watertown, New York?
    If not, is there another source of information which could lead me in the right direction?

    Your kind response would be much appreciated.

    Sincerely,


    Paul F. Kelly

    "When the doctor arrived, driving by horse and buggy from Watertown to the Sixberry home, it was found to be a young man who had but recently opened his office in the city. His name was Dr. Grafton and he was sure he could give proper aid to the suffering man. He advised amputation at once, taking his leg off just below the knee."
