| 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. | Source (S2)

A second was between 15 and 20, most likely Marie Rose, and a third between 20 and 30, Marie Florentine. | Bichet, Marie Rose (I394)

| 1367 | The below comments were copied from this web page: http://www.rootsweb.com/~nyjeffer/05graind.htm "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.

| 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)

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)

| 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. | Huber, Simon P.

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. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Abbreviations: Ab, above ave., avenue bds., boards bet., between cor., corner E., east emp., employer fac. op., factory operative h., house manuf., manufacturer Mfg., manufacturing N., north n., near opp., opposite prop., proprietor reg., registered as applied to livestock [thoroughbred] regt., regiment com., commercial ins., insurance H.A., heavy artillery S., south supt., superintendent W., west.

| 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)
