Cornelius Van Ness
I continue to look for ancestors of an Elanson/Alanson Ward who lived near Hamburg, NY in 1820-40's. Wife was Jerusha Van Ness, daughter of Cornelius & Lucy Lodbell VanNess. One daughter Susan Ward married William O. Rice. Another daughter Angelina married an Ezra Beach, then a Nelson Sabin. Elanson & Jerusha, Angeline & Ezra, Susan & William all moved to WI in the late 1840's. I have pictures of some of the tombstones. Would love to know who Elanson's parents were. Anyone out there to help? Any pictures of any of these family members?
thanks!
