I posted to Blanche McKay privately but want to post to this discusssion also.
I found Bezabiel in Whitestown, Onieda County in the early census.Also in that town was Joseph Root, both Sr. and Jr.Joseph Jr moved on to Watertown, Jefferson County and then to Batavia, Genessee County and finally to Orleans County where he settled for good.
He had many children, Henry King Root was one.Henry King Root's oldest son Levi, had three children, one of them, Harriet Jane Root married Myron Gurney in 1848.They had three children, two of them have been identified.They are Albert and Alice.Albert is my Grandfather, born in 1853 in Chautauqua County NY.
I have never found the relatives of Myron who died young in 1854 except that in 1850 in Chautauqua County they were living next door to Nathan Gurney and his sons.Plus Harriet's brother Chester named a daughter Isabella and that is a name not found anywhere else in his family.This could be a tie to Isabell and Bezebiel Gurney.
Any help would be appreicated.
