Subject: PETERY (PETRIE), PIERCE Vital Records: Hello,
I need advice on where to look for birth records and parentage of Catherine (Anna Catherine) Petery (Petri, Petrie) born 17 Dept. 1828 in Little Falls, Herkimer. NY. She died in CA. She married Solomon Terry Pierce in I believe, NY, ca 1843. Marriage record? He was born in NY ca 1821. Cannot locate where or his parentage. As my gr-grandfather, Solomon's son appeared to have some Indian features, could you tell me what tribes may have been around Little Falls in Herkimer Co. or perhaps Montgomery Co.? Perhaps this is a clue I need to pursue. I have utilized FHC using IGI and Ancestor file to no avail. I'd appreciate hearing from you. Thank you. Revae Leppanen; Email:phinn@pacific.net

Were there two Cornelius LAMBERSONs (or LAMBERTSON) in Herkimer Co. at the
beginning of the 19th century? Hardin (A History of Herkimer County, pp
317-318), identifies a Cornelius with seven sons and a daughter (?) Addison.
Elsewhere, there is a male ADDISON residing in Herkiner Co. Cornelius resided with his grandson Joshua W. Lamberson. Who was Joshua's parents? Siblings? French (1860 Gazetteer of the State of New York, p. 409) claims that a
Cornelius resided near Burrells Corners, Whitesburgh, a hamlet in Salisbury
about 1778. I need applicable dates (birth, marriage, death, etc.), spouse(s), names of children and any other information regarding the Lamberson (Lambertson) family of Herkimer County. I believe that one Cornelius may have been from Middlesex Co., NJ and would be a gggg-uncle of mine. Will exchange information on the Lambertson/Lamberson families of NY & NJ.
