Edward Allen born on 4 Jan 1805 in Canada? married to Cynthia Davis 13 May 1835 and they lived in Long Lake, Hamilton Co., N.Y. They had many children: Mary, Archibald, Lyman, Wesley, Julliet, Sara J., Ida E., and Valencia some of the children died from illness around the 1860's. My ancestor is Mary Allen who married Steadman Eaton they had two children of which Edward Eaton is my great grandfather. The other child may have been a little girl but we are not sure. Did Edward Allen in fact marry Cynthia Davis ? Who were their parents ? And where did Edward Allen come from in Canada?

DeMorris / Mattice

Lara A. Braley Wed Feb 27, 1997
I am looking for information on my great great grandfather and grandmother. His name was Andrew (John?) DeMorris and was born in 1850 in Canada. He purchased property in Wells, Hamilton Co., NY around 1860. His wife was Catherine Mattice. I don't know when or where she was born. Some of their children were supposedly born in Wells although I have found no proof of this. Anything known on Andrew or Catherine's families (parents/brothers/sisters/children/marriage/etc..) would be emensely appreciated!!
