_____EARLY HISTORY OF NEW CONCORD, NY 1760-1856 by Paul T. Veillette. This well documented history of an early Columbia county village presents evidence of the New England character of the early inhabitants. New Concord, located in the Town of Chatham, was founded in approximately 1760 by predominantly Connecticut settlers who brought with them their Congregationalist traditions. The community remained small. Even by 1860, French's "Gazeteer of New York State" records only 109 inhabitants and one church. This book is written from the point of view of the people and uses the resources of church records, cemetery records, and tax lists to establish relationships. Families discussed in great detail are: Beebe, Cady, Clark, Ingraham, Lovejoy, Palmer, Pratt, and Savage although hundreds of other surnames are included. Of special interest are the 26 pages of photographs of currently existing houses in this hamlet together with the history of their inhabitants. hardbound, 189 pages, 2 indexes #158 $39.95

CORTLAND COUNTY

To return to the top.

_____Pioneer History of Cortland County and the Border Wars of New York
H. C. Goodwin
. Cortland County is located almost directly in the center of New York State. Its mountainous and often inhospitable landscape posed various difficulties for its earliest settlers. Goodwin discusses in depth the tumultuous tribulations which faced those settlers in their mission to establish and maintain civilized life in the midst of colonial conquest, border wars, Indian raids and the like. Specific episodes addressed reflect the very violent and disconcerting nature of life on the New York frontier, and how the inhabitants of Cortland County persevered to found a thriving community in the Appalachian Mountains of New York. Of particular interest to the genealogist are the sections that concern the emigration to Cortland County, and the settlement and organization of towns there. The author's format is easy to understand and follow. Discussing each major settlement individually, he builds the town from the ground up, including: who the first homesteaders in the area were, what sort of business was carried out there, how local government was set up and administered, and who the most prominent families and citizens were. These chapters possess a bounty of information regarding family history: names of those who settled, what town they settled in, what their occupations were, where they came from, who their offspring were, who and how many family members still survived when this book was originally published, etc. Also helpful is the portion of the book, dubbed Biographical Sketches which discusses even more thoroughly the area's most distinguished citizens. A new fullname index will greatly assist those interested in researching Cortland County. 5.5x8.5 Paper 480 pages $34.50 #G552

Charles R. Street. The town of Babylon formed part of the old town of Huntington until the passage of an act in 1872 made it a separate town. This first volume embraces what may be termed the foundation history of the town. It tells us of the pioneers who first settled Huntington, where they first established their homes; how they acquired title to their lands; the character of the Indian tribes they found here and the treaties they made with them. It tells us when and where the early  settlers founded churches and schools; their long and bitter contests with rival communities to maintain the boundaries of their town; their methods of land division; their persistent hostility toward the Dutch government of New Netherlands, and their friendship with the New England colonies. In short, it affords a view of the social, political, religious and personal lives of our ancestors during this remote period of American history.

Orleans County

_____Pioneer History of Orleans County, New York
Arad Thomas. The early history of Orleans County, on the south shore of Lake Ontario (about 40 miles east of Niagara Falls) in western New York State, reveals the Iroquois Indians of what is now western New York at war with the Algonquins and Hurons of what is now Canada. Into this scene came the French explorers, following the St. Lawrence River and the Great Lakes westward many years before the English settled western New York. The French formed an alliance with the Algonquins and Hurons against the Iroquois. The Iroquois fared so well in this contest that they prevented any French settlement in New York, apart from a trading post at the mouth of the Niagara River and a few missionaries. The French continued to claim New York as French territory, and settlements near Lake Ontario would pass back and forth between French and English possession, depending who had the upper hand, until the territory was surrendered to the United States in 1796.

Roger A. King. In 1850, the revised Fugitive Slave Law not only threatened runaway slaves and black citizens living in free states with imprisonment and fines, but also the abolitionist sympathizers who helped them. In The Underground Railroad in Orange County, New York: The Silent Rebellion,  some of the brave and compassionate people who secretly put their own lives on the line to help fugitives get safe passage to Canada are identified. Roger King is a master tombstone preservationist, genealogist, teacher and author. He became interested in the Underground Railroad after the discovery of shallow graves in the cellars of some old houses situated near the Erie Railroad, and seeing tunnels that still exist under others. As he began documenting the information and pulling together stories passed down through local families, the secret trail emerged. Through The Underground Railroad in Orange County, New York: The Silent Rebellion, Roger A. King highlights some events in that secret rebellion waged in opposition to a horrendous law and the federal agents who enforced it. Using newspaper articles and local memoirs, he describes these humanitarian acts which serve to educate and enlighten readers of all ages, and boldly acknowledges these true American heroes. The ghosts of history that swirl through the cemeteries find that they encounter Roger King who captures their spirits and enlightens all of us.  ISBN: 0-912526-83-1, paper, 96 pages, index, illustrations, map, available October 1999

_____Marriage and Death Notices from Seneca County, New York Newspapers, 1817-1886
Mary S. Jackson and Edward F. Jackson. Beginning in 1880 in New York State, town clerks began recording vital records, prior to that date, local newspapers were "one of the best sources for these vital records." In this new book, containing more than 3,000 entries, the authors have compiled marriage and death notices from eight local newspapers from Seneca County, New York, ranging from 1817 through 1885. The first half of the book contains marriage notices and the second half death notices. Each newspaper has its own section and the notices are organized chronologically within each. Generally the marriage notices contain the full names of both bride and groom, where each was from, the location of the marriage, and the date of the ceremony. The death notices, which provide a more varied assortment of information always contain the date of death or the date of the newspaper. Other information provided in death notices may include the date of birth, location of death, and names of relatives yet surviving. "AIthough these newspapers were published in Seneca County, they include notices for the surrounding counties" and "many notices for those people who moved to other towns in New York or to other states." A surname index has been added to ease the search for specific individuals. 1997, 186 pp., index, paper, $18.00 #J014
