ONE NAME CAN NOT SEE   UNDER JAMES

Ellis Line:

     Nothing proven, Joshua who was in Cazenovia would be born around 1765 and old enough to be the father of Mary Emoliza.  He is still in Madison Co in 1825; but leaves no will.  Other Ellis families in the county, but not enough information to be useful.

Putnam Line: 

     Nothing proved-The marriage should be in Otsego or whereever they were prior to there.  No will seen has been helpful.

Suggestions:  Hold the work until we acquire the records of Otsego County, New York and of Rhode Island (these should be finished filming bu the end of the year)

Montgomery County, New York may be helpful as it covered all of Wester New York.  However so many counties were cut from this territory that it is difficult to know where records are of people living in Montgomery prior to 1790.
