Please let me know about the book of the early Featherlys in New York state.John Featherly and Mary Katrina Closs are my 3 great grandparents via Frederick, Sophia, Amelia, Irving and Marion.We were at Lyons and saw that bridge marker indicating that the Featherlys and Stansells were the first white settlers in Wayne County--May 1789.
Sophia was the daughter of Frederick and Sally Newcomb Featherly, born in 1814, was married 2 times--to John or Ebenezer Emery and had 2 or 3 girls before he was killed by the Indians.Sophia then married William Chidester in about 1840 and my great grandmother Amelia was their firstborn.
Looking forward to hearing from you.
