Re: HELP from other BESSEY'S

Hi Jon
I thoughtsoemthing happened toyou as I didn't see you on genforum.
I have Lemuel Brown b abt 1794d bet 1860-1867 in waterbury washington co VT his wifewasaura bessy as stated onAmantha Ireland death cert --the birthplace of her father was said to be VT but it wasn't --it was whately Franklin Ma
Lemuel & Aura lived in Whitehall washington NY and had a son John b july 14 1835---


Wm brown b 1680 CTwife unknown
his son Edward brown m hannah thomasandwilliam brown b feb 1745was their son

William Brown b feb 1745 Colchestaer CT m Waistill Lyon Swift(widow of Jireh Swift)
they had 3 chn
Waitstill diedat 3 weeks old
Braddish b dec 18 1792
Lemuel b abt 1794

Lemuel mAura (Ora--Orra)

m sarah lucretiasmith

5 lemuel brown b mar 1830waterbury vt
mjulia getchell--martha her last name may be bryant
---henrietta gallop corey

I wonder if thisWm Brown may be related --his father I think came fromMassand lived with his g son in Chittenden VT

alsofound out that malinda's death cert states her parents asLemuel Brown andaura bessy.

thro the yearsmy cousin & I haven't been able to find out her parents,
I found a samuel bessey in 1815 in vt marr Harriet Huntington and they moved to walker kent co mi

I have a g sonwho is going with a Bessey...isn't that soemthing --to show up again yrs later.--another bessey.
I've tried totrace her lineage & got to Cadillac mi -area.
Our govtook ancestryfrom our libraries so is harder totrace.
Did you ever get in contact with Homer Thiel? he had some
census's..

No Wm & Ann aren't the ones--but he could be related to mybrown sidebeing he marr a bessey also.
the only one who h ad aura bessy wasdau amantha ireland death cert..the other children stated father onlyexcept formalinda --states her parents are lemuel brown and aura bessy.

this is a hard case!!! let me know if you have reached anotherdecision on this..
