SIMMONS in Oneonta
Posted by: Wayne Simmons (ID *****0400) Date: January 28, 2006 at 16:25:39

I asked Sandy to do a lookup in the 1855 Oneonta Census for my gg-grandfather Nelson Simmons who was living in Oneonta in 1850 . Unfortunately she was not able to find him , he must have already moved on as he shows up in the 1860 census in Milford . By 1865 he is married and living in Davenport , Delaware County NY . By 1870 he is living in Sidney where he spends the rest of his life , dieing on August 13 1900 . Nelson is buried at Prospect Hill Cemetery .

Here is the info from Sandy , I hope it helps someone else researching the Simmons name .

Hi Wayne,
I didn't have any luck. As you say he was listed with Nathaniel Edmunds in 1850 but I don't find him in 1855, 1865 or 1875.

In 1855 I found an Elizabeth & Harriet Simmons. Might she be any relation?
Dwelling#; family #; Name, age, birthplace, yrs resided Oneonta
#76 (85) Seward(?) Hathaway 37 Otsego 6
#76 (85) Maria Hathaway, wife 35 Otsego 6
#76 (85) Albert Hathaway, child 11 Otsego 6
#76 (85) Charles Hathaway, child 8 Otsego 6
#76 (85) Alice Hathaway, child 4 Otsego 4
#76 (85) Elizabeth Simmons, gmother, widowed 76 Dut ---
#76 (85) Harriet Simmons, S in law 20 --- 1

No one but Edmunds are with Nathaniel:
#37 (40) Nathaniel Edmunds 43 Renesslaer 33
#37 (40) Minerva Edmunds,wife 40 Delaware 16
#37 (40) Wm Edmunds, child 15 Otsego 15
#37 (40) Pollyette Edmunds, child 13 Otsego 13
#37 (40) Marvin Edmunds, child 10 Otsego 10

Nathaniel is buried in Riverside cemetery but no Simmons or Nelson buried with him or in cemetery.
