1360 The "Text of Source" was quoted verbatim from the newspaper clipping once in the posession of my late grandmother, Gladys Mary Fraley (Webert, Thomas, Cannel) of Watertown, New York. The newspaper clipping is so old and fragile, it was a painstaking process to unfold the parts where the creases had hidden the text - and in some of the most important places!
Since the article mentions "The Post", I am ussuming that to be the name of the newspaper in which the article was published (The Watertown Post?). The year 1873 was written in pencil twice on the back side.

1361 The 1840 census also reveals that a female between the ages of 50 to 59 was living in the same household. This would most likely be his first wife, Jeanne Marie. This assumption is made because his second wife Susan appears in the household in the 1850 census.

1362 The 1840 census also reveals that three females were present in the household. One was between the ages of 50 to 59. This would most likely be his first wife, Jeanne Marie.

A second was between 15 and 20, most likely Marie Rose, and a third between 20 and 30, Marie Florentine.

"NOTE: The national Grange, officially called The Patrons of Husbandry, was founded in 1867. By 1875 there were 850,000 members in more than 21,000 granges throughout the United States. The grange movement lost many members in the 1880s, but began to grow again in the 1890s, and built a large membership based on its social, legislative and educational programs. A fraternal order with its own secret ritual, it was based on equality of men and women. Women could hold any office, though the four posts of Flora, Ceres, and Pomona, representing godesses of flowers, grains and fruits, as well as Lady Assistant Steward, were reserved for women. In 1905 Jefferson County had 34 Granges. These were organized under the county, or Pomona Grange, which in turn, was subject to the State Grange.

Directory and Program of Jefferson County Granges, 1905 published under auspices of Jefferson County Pomona Grange, 151 pages indexed.

There is no indication of when or where they served. They are all included in Draft Board number 2, and there is no clue as to what area the other boards covered.

Paul,

I gave all the information I found in the book. I believe, having seen another, that it was compiled by the draft board, but I have no authentification. People pass on things their parents or relatives have saved...no notion of where they actually come from.

1370 The children of his first marriage settled in Illinois. Stage, William (I10566)
 
1371 The collection consists of an index and images of county marriage records or marriage licenses for the state of New York. The collection includes marriage records for 45 counties and marriage licenses for 34 counties. It does not include New York City or its boroughs. The indexing of images is in process for this collection and will be added as it is completed. The collection covers the years 1847 to 1848 and 1908 to 1936.

General Information About These Records

The records are arranged by county, then by volume and year range. The form varies between register style and certificate style. County clerks usually used the same printed form during the same time periods.

New York began statewide registration of births, marriages, and deaths in 1880-81 under the supervision of the state and local boards of health. Compliance with the law was incomplete until 1900 or even later; therefore, certificates are lacking for many events.

New York State began requiring marriage records for each county in 1908. For the period of 1908 through 1935, marriages were recorded with the county clerk, with copies sent to Albany, although some counties do not have marriage records for all of this time period.

Marriage records are kept by the clerks of the town or county where the marriage occurred, usually where the bride lived. 
Source (S1429)
 
1372 The collection consists of an index that is handwritten on preprinted cards with one individual per card. The index cards refer to pension applications of veterans who served in the U.S. Army between 1861 and 1965. The majority of the records pertain to Civil War veterans (U.S. Civil War). Other pension records included are for the of the Spanish-American conflict, Indian wars, the Philippine insurrection, and the first year (1917) of U.S. involvement in World War I. Source (S997)
 
1373 The collection consists of an index to the marriage records from the five municipal boroughs of New York City and their predecessor counties.

The dates covered by this collection are 1829 to 1940.

1374 The collection consists of registers and index of men that enlisted in the army between 1798 and 1913. The registers are from the Adjutant General's Office, Washington, DC NARA M233. The records are arranged chronologically, then by the first letter of the surname. ed of career soldiers and is maintained through peacetime. Therefore, this database will not usually include individuals who enlisted as part of a reserve or during wartime for limited periods of time, or in a military unit raised by a state. Data in these registers was compiled from a variety of other military records, including enlistment papers, muster rolls, and unit records.

The records in this collection cover the time period 1798 to 1914.

The Regular Army is comprised of career soldiers and is maintained through peacetime. Therefore, this database will not usually include individuals who enlisted as part of a reserve or during wartime for limited periods of time, or in a military unit raised by a state. Data in these registers was compiled from a variety of other military records, including enlistment papers, muster rolls, and unit records.

These records were created as a permanent record of those individuals who enlisted in the Army.

The records are generally reliable although some ages may have been falsified.

1375 The collection includes a name index and images of county birth records in Ohio. The time period and type of record varies by county.

The records are usually handwritten on preprinted pages, bound into books. The books are in register style with multiple entries to a page. The records are generally well preserved, though some may have been lost because of fire or other disasters. Some of the records have been sent to the Ohio Historical Society.

The collection covers the years 1841 to 2003.

I don't know why they had the form printed for a "clerk" signature. Mr.
Baecker (apparently pronounced "Becker," given that misspelling in other correspondence about him) had from 6 to 12 of his clerks working on the microfilm project, but it appears Mr. Baecker was usually back at the main office on Columbus Avenue overseeing his Section.

1379 The Freiwillige fire-brigade Trimberg was created on 21 June 1885. First commander was Peter Sellmann and its deputy Rudolf Webert. In the last 130 years it gave to 10 further commanders with its deputy. Since March 2004 our commanders Daniel are done good and its deputy pure Hartmann. The commanders of 1885 - today follow still. Sellman, Peter (I634)

1382 THE HOOVER BURIAL-GROUND
The Hoover burial-ground is located about two miles north of Evans' Mills, and was originally a part of the farm of Peter Hoover. The first burial was that of J. Adam Walradt, who died February 27, 1831. While living he had expressed a strong desire that he might be interred in that vicinity rather than at Evans' Mills, and, after his death, this spot was selected by friends as being the most appropriate. Mr. Hoover's permission was easily obtained, and after a few more burials had been made there he sold the spot--a quarter-acre--to Alfred Vebber, Isaac Walradt, and Alexander H. Van Brockelin, as trustees, for a public burial-place. In this ground there have been about eighty burials; among them being that of Peter Hoover's son, Simon P. Hoover, who was cruelly murdered on March 4, 1876, near the house of Alfred Vebber, by Francis Grappot, who, after conviction of the crime, took his own life in the jail at Watertown.

1387 The National Cyclopaedia of American Biography is a multi-volume collection of biographical articles and portraits of Americans, published since the 1890s.[1] The primary method of data collection was by sending questionnaires to subjects or their relatives.[1] It has over 60,000 entries, in 63 volumes.[2] The entries are not credited.[1] The overall editor was James Terry White. It is more comprehensive than the Dictionary of American Biography and the American National Biography, but less scholarly because it doesn't cite the original sources used for the information.[1][2]

1391 The Official Organ of the Irish Genealogical Research Society was first published in April 1937. This publication covers from that very first issue up to Volume 8 in 1993. The Irish Genealogist, through many of its articles, allowed researchers gain access to material that in many cases was held in private collections, was otherwise inaccessible or lost, particularly following the fire in the Public Records Office in 1922.
Covering such diverse topics as family registers, abstracts of Diocesan Wills, monumental inscriptions, many important family genealogies, guides for those wishing to do their own genealogical research, as well as Ken Nicholls standard setting work on the Kavanaghs (1400-1700). These and much more are covered in over 5,000 pages of invaluable material, compiled in an easy to use and search format, using scans of the original volumes.

1397 The Serv @ nc'nautes were established on 1 December 1999 with a core of about 20 people, composed of amateur genealogists seeking mainly on the Vosges Sa?noises (Nord-Est de la Haute-Sa?ne in Franche-Comte). The idea came to me in order to communicate dynamically and interactively all researchers passionate about this very detailed, and having common ancestors, so sometimes cousin (e) s. But also to share and discover geographically, linguistically and historically this land ...
The geographical areas covered by Serv @ ncnautes are:

* The Upper Valley of Ognon: From Castle-Lambert, Le Haut du Them, Servance, Miellin, Ternuay, Grantsburg, Fresse, St Barthelemy, St Germain, until south of Haute-Saone, Winston, while passing by the sub-prefecture, Lure ...

* Valley Breuchin: From Corravillers, Faucogney, Ste Marie Chanois until luxovienne region, and the City and its surroundings Kirsch, Fougerolles, Corbenay, St Loup on Semouse, Aillevillers the Vaivre, etc ...

* Valley Rahin: Floor Mine, floor-Bas, Champagney, Ronchamp, until the break of Belfort and the south-eastern department ...

We may sometimes spill over into neighboring departments, land migration of our ancestors, thanks to the help of Serv @ ncnautes Vosgien, Lorraine, Alsace, Belfortains or Doubistes ...

CHILD'S BUSINESS DIRECTORY
OF JEFFERSON COUNTY
This project has been made possible by the efforts of many volunteers. The Volunteer page is an effort to express our appreciation for the sometimes boring and tedious work they have put in. Their labors benefit all the users of this page.
Hamilton Child compiled and published gazetteers for many of the counties of the northeastern states. His Geographical Gazetteer of Jefferson County, N.Y. was published in 1890, but at least some of the information appears to have been collected a couple of years previously. Child sent out canvassers who covered the county, selling advertisements in the book, collecting the biographies found elsewhere on this site, getting orders for the books themselves, and soliciting contributions toward the publishing of the book. These men (probably always men) went from house to house, but obviously did not always get their information first hand.

Therefore, though the business directory contains names of farmers, residents, laborers and other less important people not represented in the biographical section, not all names are given here, either. If you know your ancestor lived in Jefferson County in 1890, and his name does not appear here, it simply means that the canvasser missed him, for whatever reason. If the name does appear, however, it is fairly certain that person lived here.

The directory is organized by township. We have provided a separate page for the Child's business information for each town. These pages can be accessed by he clicks below, or by a click from the town page.



--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The directory is arranged as follows:
1. Name of individual or firm.
2. Postoffice address in parentheses if different from the name of the town.
3. The figures following the letter r indicate the number of the road on which the party resides, and will be found on the northern map for the northern part of the county, and southern map for the southern part of the county. Where no road number is given, the party is supposed to reside in the village.
4. Business or occupation.
5. A star (*) placed before a name indicates an advertiser in this work.
6. Figures after the occupation of a farmer indicate the number of acres owned or leased.
7. Names in CAPITALS are those who have kindly given their patronage to the work, and without whose aid the publication would have been impossible.

1400 There may be a possible connection between Joseph Biggers [person # 1062, b. 1826] and Eliza Harris. My reasoning is twofold:
1. the existence of the marriage between John Biggers [person # 439, b. 1803] and Fanny Harris.
2. they were living in the same household under the roof of a man by the name of Thomas King
3. they were both tailor's apprentices 
Harris, Eliza (I1063)
