Stan,
I believe the Olive Crandall, wife for Joshua Sanders, was just a guess by Kirby Saunders who had some investigation done in the early 1950's. At that time we used to have a Saunders reunion almost every summer in Lincklaen Center and until the 1960's when someone proposed changing it to be called the Coon reunion. The original settlers located on South Hill going out of Lincklaen Center. My grandfather F.E. Saunders bought his farm about 1900 on the north end of Lincklaen Center and across the road from his house was the Lincklaen Center cemetery full of 7th day people's graves. My mother spent many an afternoon copying down the inscriptions and when I was young and the 7th day church at Lincklaen Center was inactive, she borrowed their record books and copied off most of the minutes of the meetings. I have her records and one pair of graves in that cemetery were James and Hannah Coon, brother of Olive (Coon) Saunders. In 1807, James Coon of DeRuyter, Madison Co., NY, sold 40 acres to David Davis, late of Petersburg, now of DeRuyter [Madison Co. Land Records Book A p.336] This Elder David Davis was the first paster of the DeRuyter 7th day Church and in 1815 first pastor of the Lincklaen Center branch church. James & Hannah Coon had Betsey E. (12 Feb 1786 - 14 March 1874) who m. about 1803, DeRuyter, Shadrack Hitchcock (6 June 1783, RI - 1 Aug 1836, Fabius, Onondaga Co., NY - buried DeRuyter); James Coon Jr. (26 Oct 1793 - 22 Aug 1852, Truxton, Cortland Co., NY) m. 31 Oct 1818, Truxton, Fanny Rogers (26 Sept 1797 - 6 June 1880), dau of Jesse & Hannah (Bliven) Rogers; Hannah Coon (1794 - ) single, retarded; Thomas Coon (c.1795 - before 1850 Census, Truxton) m. 13 Sept 1818, Susan Bliss (c.1797, RI - after 1880 Census, DeRuyter); Prudence Coon (c.1798 - ) m. ____ Allen; William Coon (1801 - ) of Lincklaen m. Deborah ____ (1800 - ); Asa or Asaph Coon (26 Aug 1803 - 2 May 1857) m. Mary Ann ___ (1814 - ) ; Abram Coon (1806, DeRuyter, NY - 2 Jan 1884, Fond-Du-Lac, WI) shoemaker, will dated 8 May 1883; m. 1827, Esther McCall (10 Feb 1809, Washington Co., NY - ). They had 11 children and adopted a 12th.
I have often wondered which brother Olive felt closest to when she named here youngest son, Abel A, C. Sanders (c.1809, NY - ) Was A. C. for Asa or Abram Coon or someone else entirely? Abel m. 1st, 8 Dec 1831, Emeline Champlin (4 May 1811 - between April & Aug 1850 Census), dau of George & Lydia (Berry) Champlin and younger sister of Mary Champlin (24 March 1804, South Kingstown, RI - 20 July 1877, age 73-3-26, Lincklaen) who m. Aug 1828, by Elder Orson Campbell, to Abel's elder brother Joshua Saunders, Jr., (Oct 1799, RI - 14 Sept 1880, age 80-11, Lincklaen). Abel was first a farmer in Lincklaen, and then a grocer in DeRuyter. By this 1st marriage, Abel had 7 children, as follows: Densmore Sanders (c.1833 -); Lydia Ann (c.1835 after 1865) m. ___ Holbert; Diantha/Diamantha (17 May 1836, DeRuyter - 1 Oct 1913, Lincklaen Center) m. 1st, Jan 1856, Lincklaen Center, Welcome Burdick; Diantha m. 2nd, 11 Aug 1888, Lincklaen, Orville Lester Stillman (14 Jan 1836, Lincklaen - 3 April 1916, Lincklaen), son of Sanford Burdick & Sara Ann (Irish) Stillman and widower of Adeline (Ackley)
(14 June 1840, Fabius, NY - 11 Feb 1888, DeRuyter); Her uncle's will called her Diamantha while Mamma heard her always called Diantha, Orville m. 3rd, 1 July 1914, Iva Craft (30 April 1868, Lincklaen - ) Phebe L. (Sanders) (Aug 1837, Lincklaen - 1 Nov 1883) m. "George Russ"ell Stillman (23 May 1846, Lincklaen - 21 Jan 1925, Lincklaen), brother of Orville Lester Stillman and widower of Zeluma Coon (1846 - 11 Jan 1879), dau of (Elder) Amos West Coon; Edward Champlin Saunders (11 Aug 1848, Lincklaen - 31 March 1925) m. after 1881, (Mrs.) Susan P. (Laird) Coon, widow of Silas Coon; She m. 3rd, 4 Nov 1925, Egbert Joralemon (28 May 1844 - 29 April 1933); Mary Saunders m. ____ Thompson; Emeline Sanders who in the 1860 Census was living, age 10, with her childless Aunt & Uncle, Olive (Sanders) & George Baker. Emeline probably died before her uncle Edward Champlin's will probate, 9 Nov 1865, where she alone of his close relatives was not mentioned.
Abel m. 2nd, Lydia ____ (c.1816 - ) and had Victoria E. (Sanders)
(c.1857 - ) and George Sanders (c.1858 - ) listed in the 1865 Census.
