MEDICAL SOCIETY OF JEFFERSON COUNTY
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

Town of Theresa Town Clerk

P.O. Box 692
Theresa, New York 13691

Dear Ms. Delles,

I am looking for a record of marriage for my 2nd great grandparents:

John Biggers
and
Margaret VanBrocklin

Other sources state that they were apparently married on January 17, 1869. The location of their marriage is not known to me, however, I do know that John Biggers lived on a farm on Countryman Road, Theresa in 1864, a few years prior to their marriage.

Please check the records available to you.
If you cannot find a record of such marriage, please advise as to where to look next.

If you have access to email, I would very much appreciate a reply via email as this greatly speeds up the communication process. My email address is listed below.

Thank you for your help in this matter.

Sincerely,



Paul F. Kelly

Paul,

Got your message about photocopies and I just wanted to inform you that the powers that
be are already in motion. My mother never has really expressed an interest in the
search of heritage and history, yet once I informed her of someone related to her
Grandfather Arthur Biggers, well... She has called me to tell me she got all her
records and documents out. We are both in the process of getting all these lines and
supporting documents into a format her Grandchildren & Great-Grandchildren can have.
You though won't have to wait that long as soon as I'm sure we've got all are notes
properly copied they along will copies of all other documents will be on the way to you
& your family. These papers will include the family line written by Arthur's own hand.


I have been reviewing the Biggers line more this week and I can now tell you that John I
came to America at the age of 38 somewhere in the range of 1842-43. He started a Carding
Mill in Dexter N.Y. His farm was 2 miles north of Brownsville N.Y. Wife Fannie Harris
died at age 56. Their children were: John II b. 1839 England // George b. abt. 1842
England // Maria b.1844 New York //James (Jim) b. 1846 (listed as a Robert 1860 census
???) The brothers John and George were available for duty at the beginning of the Civil
War. John did not join but fled to Maryland where he spent time aboard a whaling ship
and was also taken prisoner at some point and sometime later is said to have escaped.
Maybe the tales of his adventures were in his head as told to kin when he returned or
fact, maybe a little of both. George was not so lucky, Hit by a cannon ball and killed
Battle of Bull Run, Manassas, Va. after 1862, so that would make it the second battle.
Youngest son James was said to have been a math genius, "Hit in the head by his
stepmother for eating one of her pies and was never the same." I hope the pie was good.

The Stepmother John I's 2nd wife was Jane Graves b. Ireland 1819 d. 1908 / 89 years.
Graves was her 1st husband's name. Her children by Graves:
John Graves 1844 // Wm. Graves 1846 // Joseph Graves 1849 // Barnett Graves 1851 //
Approx date by census ages.

John II / oldest daughter Stella never married and is buried next to her Grandfather
John I in Dexter Cemetery, 4th row across from tall monument of Gilmore.

Nicholas Van Brocklin d. 1884 age 89 (Dutch)
Nancy Ann Schell d. 1883 age 88 (Germany)
Parents of Margaret (Van Brocklin) Biggers

Nancy Ann Schell's Father was Marcus Schell b. June 6,1764 Herkimer Co. NY Chr. July 5,
1764 Reformed Dutch Church of German Flats married Catherine Elizabeth Roan b. circa
1770 Herkimer , March 25 1788. Died after 1832 Herkimer NY

Marcus Schell's Father was Johnannes Schell arrived port of Philadelpia 1732 or 1752 /
Mother was Barbara Raspach.( I found a ship listing some years ago 10th Oct 1752 Phil.,
Tuesday Ship " FOREST" Capt. Patrick Auchterlony from Rotterdam / Maybe??? )

Do you know that both Eva & Arthur named a son Paul. Arthur's son was Paul Everett b.
June 18,1910. Strange your name is Paul. Is your line Eva's Paul Webert. We want to
know more about Eva's sons and where they went and the lives they lead. Arthur's
children where artists / landscape architect / naturalist / seems thay had a deep
appreciation for nature's beauty.
