The Hugh Cole and removed to Swansea, | Carpenters were of English origin and were Quakers. Was this the Samuel Carpenter who in 1744 own- ed 150 acres of land near Quaker- town, N. J. ace. to an unrecorded deed. In 1749 this land was in pos- session of Matthias Van Horn (from Hist, of Land Titles in Vicinity of Quakertown N. J. by Vail); by 1760 he was in Sussex (now Warren) Co., N. J. Would like additions and cor- rections of the following children of Samuel and Elizabeth (Willson?) Carpenter: a.

The first Ancestral Trails Along the Mohawk uel Carpenter Henry Vanover and Gabriel Willson (probably i of query 2). Is the name Vanover mis-print of Conover or another surname? No Vanovers given in S»T. J. records in library here. Would like comment of someone who has had access to orig- inal records. Was Amos Hoagland (query 1, d), who married Ruth Carpenter, anoth- er son of James? Hoagland book gives James and Mary one child, Jor- is. born after James' death 4. Wanta data of Mary? wife of James Hoagland (query 3.) Was she the Mary Hoagland who is listed among taxables of Muncy. Penna.. of 1773 and then disappears from re- cords? Was she connected with the Vanover (Conover?) family or with Philip Weller whose will her hus- band witnessed in 1761? Would like information on where Weller data may be found. 5. Want data of John Battin who was taxed in Kennett, Chester Co. Penna., in 1715, '18 and '19 and in Bradfoard Co. in 1720. He appears to have obtained a survey to 200 acres of land in Lancaster Co. about 1714 but apparently never received deed for it.

Of the special works available at our Wisconsin Historical Library and at Chicago's Newberry Library, several well known "local histories" have been helpful to me; although as with the more general works, I have had to use care in accepting statements from them, for the sketches, of course, were compiled from data gathered commercially, and furnished by the individual members of the respective families concerned, without any careful checking for authenticity. For the five counties which are naturally called Mohawk Valley counties—Schenectady, Montgomery, Schoharie, Herkimer and Oneida— several quasi-biographical histories are to be found in our own and in other large collections. Let me name the main ones for those of you who are just starting out on your ances- tral quests: Pearson's History of Schenectady Patent, First Settlers of Schenectady and First Settlers of Albany; Roscoe's History of Scho- harie County; Frothingham's His- tory of Montgomery County; Beer's History of Fulton and Montgomery Counties; Hardin's History of Herki- ly Jeffrey Martin of Chester Co., Pa.

FERRIS, LOBDELL, HILL Credit for the data re Ferris, Lob- dell, Hill in my answer to inquiries about these families should have been given to Edwin B. Hill, 5421 Broadway, Indianapolis §, Ind. This error was caused by another one, as is frequently the case. Someone ad- dressed a letter to me, but inside the envelope was a letter intended for sombody else. The letter head used was of the great osteopath.Dr. F. A. Gordon,of Marshalltown, Iowa; or Jersey as a colony to the then wil- derness of Muncy, Lycoming (then ,k„rlr,v,J \ are given as taxables there in 1773; fled back to Jersey at the time of the Big Runaway in 1778 and later returned, except Amos and Ruth (d). Rachel (e) and family lived near Millville, Penna., removed to Can- ada 1S06, 2. Want data of Elizabeth (Will- son?) Carpenter (query 1), born about 1718, probably in West Jer- sey. Was she daughter of Samuel 2 Willson (Robert 1 and Ann (Hoag) Willson,) born 1681, died 1761. Want additions and corrections of the fol- lowing family of Samuel and Esther (or Hester) (Overton) Willson a. Samuel born 1706, died 1785, married Deborah Willets. b.

(To be cants, ,id) Herkimer County; Pomroy Jones' Annals of Oneida ounty and Everett and Ferris' History of Oneida coun- ty and Everett and Ferris5 History of Oneida county. To this list of lo- cal histories I should add Biographi- cal Review of Otsego county and His- tory of Otsego county, because the town of Cherry Valley and the other towns in the northern part of Otsego county are very closely connected, historically and genealogically, with the towns of the Mohawk Valley; and Syvester's History of Saratoga, Gray's History of Springfield and The Early Records of the City and County of Albany, and Colony of Rensselasrwyck. Frothingham, Ros- coe and Pearson's works have all given me much actual information and many good clues for further re- search. Some other Mohawk Valley books and pamphlets of special interest to descendants of old Valley families are Hartey's Dempster Records of 1845 documents found in the old fort); Lethbridge's Montgomery Co. Marriages (1795-1876 records of three pastors); MacWethy's Col. Klock's Regiment (1,100 names of Revolutionary soldiers in the Pala- tine regiment; Dillenbeck's Stone Arabia Lutheran Church (old ceme- tery and church records included); The Lawrence Zimmerman Papers (with maps of Snell-Timmerman Pa- tent); Frey's Minutes of the Com- mittee of Safety (references to var- ious patriots) and Simms" Border Wars (much authentic "padding" material.) Fortunately for ancestor hunters of today, the recent growth of in- terest in the literature and history of the Mohawk Valley and the nat- ural, corresponding increase in fam- ily pride have brought forth some special genealogies of old Valley families. There are now printed gen- ealogies of several families; Stowitts and Gibson (Philip George Stowitts and John Gibson), Devendorf (de- scendants of Johannes and Jacob), Flint (family of the pioneer, Rob- ert), Helmer (descendants of the Palatine immigrant Philip), Wagner (the Peter Wagner family), Staring and Hess (German Flatts families), Dillenbeck (descendants of Martin, Palatine pioneer), Snell (early gener- ations), Lenz (descendants of Fred- erick Konrad), Ehle (descendants of Domini John Jacob), and Country- man (family of Conrad—rare). Not all of these genealogies are to be found on the shelves of our Mid- Western libraries, although they have some. However, all except the Countryman book can be purchased at fairly low prices. The Country- man genealogy was privately print- ed and copies are now possessed by a few individuals only. Any of these works is likely to be useful, even if the main family is not your own, for the early valley eople intermar- ried freely; and thus many old family names are to be found in a single work. Works on several other Mo- hawk Valley families are now being prepared, incuding genealogies of the Campbel, Kllock, Walrath, Tunni- cliff. Bellinrrer and Nellis famiies (.Editor's Note—We have for sale in our office the following: Stow- itts and Gibson, Devendorf, Flint, Helmer, Wagner, staring and Hess, Birtns and Marriages (1Y78-1803 re cords of a traveling Methodist I and Ehle.) preacher); Fort Klock Papers (1762-1 (To be continued) "LOCAL HISTORY" "LOCAL HISTORY"—HOW TO GATHER IT, WRITE IT, AND PUBLISH IT BY DONALD D. PARKER Brookings. South Dakota (Continued from last week) Census Records The census schedules enable us to affirm that this Norwegian family must have lived in the state at least since 1849, and probably longer, that it ranked well in the social group to which it belonger, owning a rela- tively prosperous pioneer farm, and that the presence in it of three boys, two of them already old enough to perform farm work, pro- phesied greater prosperity in the future. The information was not ex- tensive and to cold imagination it may not reveal very much. But what there was of it was concrete, defi- nite and dependable. Many a novel- ist would, rejoice to find so much about his hero's boyhood. And the delectable quality about the source from which that knowledge comes is the fact that it would yield simi- lar information about every person living on a Wisconsin farm in 1860. The fulness of information about this forgotten pioneer of the Central West is truly surprising. Even tho you would not want to give so de- tailed an account oi every one ot your early settlers, vet to have , .. ' ., . , .. war the National Archive mturmation ot this sort avauame toi 1 I ply the first census taken in your com- munity would be oi inestimable worth in drawing an accurate picture of the times, the state 01 develop- ment, population and economic con- ditions. Dtpend.ng upon the parti- al ir c. us;.s, you should be able to find the h%ads of tamliies for each ttecad , the approximate age of minora .»r the decades trom ItVQ to 1840, and the real age as well as tne fun name of ail persons begum* g Win: shows the number of dwellings in the county, the number of families, the name of every person in the family plus the farm laborers, the occupa- tion of the head of each family, the occupation of the head of each family, the value of the real estate and personal estate, the place ,of birth of each individual, the names of those married within the year, those who were attending school that year, the number of persons ov- er twenty years of age who could not read and write, those deaf, dumb, blind or insane, and the age, sex and color of each person enumerated. The census reports for other counties would reveal similar data. You may say, "Fine, now where do I get hold of the earliest census of my community?" The original censxis population schedules for the years 1790-1S70 are in the National Archives. There are some gaps in the returns, however, and the sche- dules are missing, in whole or in part for some of the states, particularly for the periodprior to 1830. Requests for information concerning an indi- vidual should include the name of the head of the family with whom ht resided, the town or township, coun- ty, and state, as well as the c< nsus year. Trior to 1830 the & nsus * he- dales contain only the names of the heads of families and not th of all the individual member families. For the duration ca.i nip from the census legal or war-re- Ilion and the Remingtons (Continued Irom last week) In politics Mr. Remington like his father was first a whig and after- wards a republican. For many years he was president of the village but aside from this he neither sought nor held office. His life was an exempli- fication of consistent Christian char- acter, with a membership in the Methodist Episcopal church, to the interests of which he contributed with unstinted generosity. On December 28, 1841 Philo Rem- ington married Miss Caroline A. La- throp who survives him and resides in Ilion. Their children were Ida, wife of Watson C. Ssuire, and Ella, now the wife of Howard C. Furman of New York city. Mr. and Mrs. Squire have two sons, Philo R. of New York city and Shirley of Seattle, Wash., and two daughters, Aidine and Mar- orie at present residing with their grandmother at Ilion. Ella has been twice married, first to E. P. Greene of Amsterdam, N. Y. who died in December, 1876, leav- ing three sons, Frederick Reming- ton, William Kimball and Harry P., now deceased. Eliphalet, the only surviving mem- ber of the family whose business his- tory I have so imperfectly sketched still resides in his native village. As has been seen he was less prominent than his brothers in the management of the business. A zealous Christian he nas devoted much of his time and means to the advancement of the cause of educa- tion and of temperance and religion. Like his brother he possesses a fine physique and pleasing manners. He enoys to an unusual degree the respect and esteem of all who know him. If I am privileged to name his greatest fault, it is that in his zeal in behalf of others he is too forget- ful of his own interests. His marriage was to Catharine, daughter of Louis Stevens of Ilion. They have two daughters, Jessie, now Mrs. Wm. I. Calder of Harris- burg and Bertha, wife of T. Elliott Patterson of Philadelphia, Pa., and one son, Philo, married and living in New York city. I have already made this paper so voluminous as to forbid an attempt to bring: the history of the village of ilion up to date. Suffice it to say, that the present population is about 5,000 and is slowly increasing. The |»WUlUiU VA MIL VilUtk^,^ v* 4. iUUA fort, Mohawk and Herkimer which are connected with it by an electric street railroad enables many of the workmen employed to reside in those places and to that extent retards the growth of Ilion, which if isolat- ed would doubtless have attained a fifty percent larger growth.

Census Records

The census schedules enable us to affirm tha t this Norwegian family mus t have lived in the s ta te a t least since 1849, and probably longer, t h a t it ranked well in the social group to which it belonger, owning a rela­tively prosperous pioneer farm, and t h a t the presence in it of three boys, two of them already old enough to perform fa rm work, pro­phesied grea te r prosperi ty in the future. The information was not ex­tensive and to cold imagination it may not reveal very much. But w h a t there w a s of it w a s concrete, defi­nite and dependable. Many a novel­ist would, rejoice to find so much about his hero's boyhood. And the delectable quality about the source from which tha t knowledge comes is the fact tha t it would yield simi­lar information about every person living on a Wisconsin farm in 1860.

The fulness of information about this forgotten pioneer of the Central West is truly surprising. Even tho you would not want to give so de­tailed an account oi every one ot your early sett lers, vet to have

I ply the first census taken in your com­munity would be oi inestimable worth in drawing an accurate picture of the t imes, the s ta te 01 develop­ment, population and economic con­ditions. Dtpend.ng upon the p a r t i ­al ir c. us;.s, you should be able to find the h%ads of tamliies for each ttecad , the approximate age of minora .»r the decades trom ItVQ to 1840, and the real age as well as tne fun name of ail persons begum* g Win:

T h e census repor ts for other counties would reveal similar da ta .

You may say, "Fine, now where do I get hold of the earl iest census of m y c o m m u n i t y ? " The original censxis population schedules for the yea r s 1790-1S70 a re in the Nat ional Archives . There are some gaps in the re tu rns , however, and the sche­dules are missing, in whole or in pa r t for some of the s ta tes , part icularly for the periodprior to 1830. Requests for information concerning an indi­vidual should include the name of the head of the family with whom ht resided, the town or township, coun­ty, and s ta te , as well as the c< nsus year.

Ilion and the Remingtons

(Continued I rom last week)

I n politics Mr. Remington like his father was first a whig and after­wards a republican. For many years he was president of the village but aside from this he neither sought nor held office. His life was an exempli­fication of consistent Christian char­acter , with a membership in the Methodist Episcopal church, to the interests of which he contributed with unstinted generosity.

On December 28, 1841 Philo Rem­ington married Miss Caroline A. La-throp who survives him and resides in Ilion. Their children were Ida, wife of Watson C. Ssuire, and Ella, now the wife of Howard C. Fu rman of New York city. Mr. and Mrs. Squire have two sons, Philo R. of New York city and Shirley of Seattle, Wash., and two daughters , Aidine and Mar-orie a t present residing with their grandmother a t Ilion.

Ella has been twice married, first to E. P. Greene of Amsterdam, N. Y. who died in December, 1876, leav­ing three sons, Freder ick Reming­ton, William Kimball and Har ry P., now deceased.

Eliphalet, the only surviving mem­ber of the family whose business his­tory I have so imperfectly sketched still resides in his nat ive village.

As has been seen he was less prominent than his brothers in the management of the business.

A zealous Chris t ian he nas devoted much of his t ime and means to the advancement of t he cause of educa­tion and of temperance and religion.

Like his bro ther he possesses a fine physique and pleasing manners. He enoys to an unusual degree the respect and esteem of all who know him. If I am privileged to name his grea tes t fault, it is t ha t in his zeal in behalf of others he is too forget­ful of his own interests .

His marr iage w a s to Catharine, daughter of Louis Stevens of Ilion. They have two daughters , Jessie, now Mrs. Wm. I. Calder of Harr is -burg and Bertha, wife of T. Elliott Pat terson of Philadelphia, Pa., and one son, Philo, marr ied and living in New York city.

I have already made this paper so voluminous a s to forbid an a t t empt to bring: the history of the village of ilion up to date. Suffice it to say, t h a t the present population is about 5,000 and is slowly increasing. The | » W U l U i U V A M I L V i l U t k ^ , ^ v * 4. i U U A

fort, Mohawk and Herkimer which are connected wi th it by an electric s t ree t railroad enables many of the workmen employed to reside in those places and to t ha t extent re tards the growth of Ilion, which if isolat­ed would doubtless have at tained a fifty percent la rger growth.
