My great-grandparents, Alfred WOOD ( b1839 ) and Ossay ( b 1847 ) came from Herkimer, NY and ran a general store and bake shop in Selby, Ont. sometime after 1887 . They had eleven children:
Alfred and Ossay came up to Selby, Lennox and Addington County, in Ontario Canada sometimes after 1887 (they are not listed in the 1887 Lennox and Addington Atlas). I know that John, Truman, and Allen lived there also. I believe that Fred was a barber in Boonville, and his son followed his trade, just retiring within the last decade. My grandfather Allen owned a cheese factory (found recently to be Canada's oldest) in Selby until his death in the 1950s. His youngest son, my uncle Gerald Wood, went down to a relative's cheese factory in Herkimer County back in the 1930s or 1940s to learn cheese making. He and my father, Dorland Wood, worked in the Selby Cheese Factory when they were young. When I was a child in the 1950s, we visited my father's cousin George Wood, in Rome NY from time to time. They had a cottage on Fifth Lake in the Fulton Chain near Old Forge NY where we vacationed once or twice. Thanks again for your interest. Sincerely, Kenneth Wood. woodman@ihorizons.net

Leander WOOD(W)ARD was born in Herkimer Co., NY, in 1806 and died in Pompey, Onondaga Co., NY in 1882. He married Almira HUBBARD about 1840. Almira was born in Winfield, Oneida Co., NY, in 1812. Her parents were Francis Hubbard and Mary Mann. Francis was from the Sunderland/Hatfield, MA, Hubbard family. Trying to prove that Ozias WOOD(W)ARD and Nancy HUBBARD (who lived in Winfield, Oneida Co., and sold property in Herkimer Co., NY, in 1817 and 1828) are parents of Leander. Leander and Ozias both later appeared in Pompey, Onondaga Co., NY.

CRONEY/YOUNG - Herkimer County: I have some sketchy family history to share but am also looking for help. My mother was born in Stark, NY 1927 along with 2 brothers, one older and one younger: Henry Richard Croney, Jr b. 1925; Etta (Ettie) Letto Young or Croney b. 1927; Joseph Young or Croney b. 1929. Not sure of marriage certificate of parents but court records found in my mother's possession say they were married in 1924??
In 1930 these 3 children were removed from their home by Department of Public Welfare Court House Herkimer, NY. An Oct 9 1953 a letter to my mother states "there is no history and no information at all. As this was a case in 1930, 23 years ago, and we have no leads to help. There are notes however that in 1939 there was an attempt by someone to find out more about the case, no results." However there are court records stating the removal of these children. The letter further states "after Joseph was placed in the institution he died of pneumonia which followed an attack of whooping cough. There is a record that Henry Richard was boarded in a family in the neighborhood. Our card mentions that the family came from the village of Starkville."
My mother was eventually placed in State Charities Aid Assoc. NY and then adopted. Sometime in 1953 she went to Herkimer to visit the courthouse and I have notes she jotted down, for example: Ms. XXX RIPPLE, Little Falls, Alexandria St; Mr. XXX HOLK, Jordanville; and info of her dad in Middletown Inst. It hints that Ms. Ripple may have been a relative as she states that they all looked like herself. She also states that paperwork at the courthouse stated that Hattie Young mother, after 1930, brought a small baby girl to Public Welfare in Herkimer and requested they place her as they did the others. We later found out that the oldest boy spent his childhood with his dad "working the farm" - Sweetclover Farms. We found him 2 years ago living in Fla. What I need to know is - does Herkimer County Court House still exist? Are records available? We would like to find this female child and any other siblings if possible.

I am searching for the parents of Abraham M. YOUNG, son of Hessian/Prussian father and a Scottish mother. He was born in New York State in 1801 in the Mohawk Valley. Since the father was German, the surname could very well have been "JUNG", later anglicized to "Young".

ZIMMERMAN/TIMMERMAN/HERKIMER: Interested in information on Henry HERKIMER b. 1764, m. Catherine ZIMMERMAN. They had son Alonzo Herkimer who m. Mary FRAZEY. I have no info at all on Mary's parents. Have Herkimer line traced fairly well back to George b. ca 1650/70..wife Magelena ? He was born Sandhausen, Germany.
I'm also also looking for info on Anna PETRIE bap. 1700, m. Johan H. bef. 1722. She was the daughter of Johannes PETRIS and Anna Von RINGH. No other info on them. Capt. Hendrick Herkimer m. Catherine DYGERT??? No other info on her family.
We have had this family line rather at the bottom of our list and have decided that it was time to find out about the mother's side of the family. Her father was an ATWOOD and her grandfather married Emeline Herkimer. We really don't have much info on any of these allied lines. Would be happy to exchange any info I have. Thanks very much! Joyce Howard, Sun Lakes, Arizona.
