One Thing Leads to Another

Recently, Craig wrote about revisiting sites to see if they had anything new. Miriam, Becky and probably others followed suit and made new discoveries. I was re-organizing some of the links on my sidebar and clicked on the one for Silverbrook Cemetery in Niles, MI. And there she was, my great-great-grandmother, who I had only as Mrs. E. A. Graham, was named Elizabeth! Now that I have a name and some dates I should be on my way to learning more about her.

Today I was reading Randy's post about his Smith line in Jefferson County, NY. I started looking at my links to see if I had anything that might help him. The jury is out on that but I while looking for him I found that part of the 1855 census has been transcribed. I found my great-great-grandparents, Michael & Mary Kelly. On the 1855 census they recorded the type of dwelling that they resided in. The Kelly's lived in a log home! I've imagined my New England ancestors and those that moved to New York in the early 1800's living in log cabins but not my Kelly ancestors who immigrated from Ireland, through Canada in the late 1840's!

So I never know what I'm going to find but it has been a great week for me!

I have added a special section of New York links that I have found helpful and I will continue to add new links over time.

When Family History Came Alive

Craig, writing at GeneaBlogie, recently wrote about his version of "The Greatest Genealogical Find Ever." He may have solved a long standing family mystery.

He finished his article:

What's your version of The Greatest Genealogical Find Ever?

Several others have weighed in on their great finds and I've enjoyed reading them.

For me it's an easy question. When I was a teenager someone in my mother's family sent us a carbon copies of several pages of genealogy. I made up a chart and dutifully entered all the names. And that is how I thought of genealogy for many years - as names on a chart. And that was that until I got my first computer and a basic family tree program. I then became a collector of names. I followed other people's online trees and worked at proving or disproving relationships. I got greedy and I wanted more names! So I made my first trip to the Onondaga County Library's Local History room. There I discovered several books that provided me with more names.

One my second trip to the library I found the "History of Cheshire and Sullivan Counties, New Hampshire Edited by, D. Hamilton Hurd, J W Lewis & Co., Philadelphia 1886." On pages 492 & 493 I found the following written about my 4th great-grandfather:

"At an early hour in the morning of of the last day of the year 1775, a small force of American troops, under Arnold and Montgomery, after a march of incredible hardship, weakened by hunger, exposed to all the severities of a Canadian winter, appeared like specters before the strongest fortified city in America. In a driving storm of hail and snow they made the desperate attempt to take Quebec by assault. It was fated with defeat. It proved worse than that. The American forces were obliged to retreat, a scattering remnant.

The news of its defeat, with all its detail of horrors, thrilled the American cause. January 20, 1776, the New Hampshire House of Representatives voted to raise one regiment of soldiers forthwith. This regiment consisted of eight companies and was placed under the command of Colonel Timothy Bedell to reinforce the Northern Continental army. The second Company of this regiment was commanded by Captain Daniel Carlisle, of Westmoreland.

Captain Daniel Carlisle remained with the northern army until after General Sullivan had assumed its command. Upon a march to the southward, Captain Carlisle was detailed to look up some boats to transport the troops across Lake Champlain. As the enemy had destroyed them all, Carlisle's search was in vain, and he so reported to General Sullivan. He was ordered to make another search, and necessarily with the same result and report. Sullivan flew into a passion, drew his sword and made a movement as if to strike Carlisle down. Carlisle instantly seized a gun from the hands of a soldier standing by his side, instantly leveled it at Sullivan's head, and, with a firm voice, informed Sullivan to lower his sword or die. Sullivan lowered his sword, but Carlisle was cashiered and sent home in disgrace. Nevertheless, Carlisle was a good soldier and a true patriot."

Suddenly Captain Daniel Carlisle stopped being a name on a chart. He was a real person and I wanted to know more about who he was and how he lived.

That was the turning point for me. I still have a huge collection of names and I do occasionally add more. There are several names that I would love to be able to add. But the thrill for me remains finding out more about who my ancestors were and how they lived.
