I don't know if this will help, but my 3rd great-grandfather,Benjamin Cobb Homer, migrated from Barnstable County, Mass to Oneida County New York about the same time. His great-grandfather was John Homer of Boston, and the name John carried down through the line, including Benjamin's grandson, Benjamin John. Many easterners migrated west into that part of New York about that time to take up land given them by the U.S. Government as payment for service in the Revolutionary War.
