Amelia H Sill & Rev Frederick Sill
Anyone know who Amelia H Sill is?
Is she listed as a witness on lots of marriage certificates for St Ambrose Episcopal church,NYC or is she someone in my family tree?
My ggggrandparents were married at St Ambrose Episcopal Church in NYC at the corner of Thomas St and Prince St. Manhattan.
The Rector, Rev Frederick Sill, who married them,resided at 25 Vandam St,(a block from the church)and died in NYC December 13, 1874, at the age of 62 (born circa 1823)
On this marriage certificate there are 2 witnesses.
Witness #2.
Sara Tucker: belived to be a relative by marriage of the grooms sister, Catherine (Connor) Tucker.
Witness #1.
Amelia H Sill - Is she:
A. a relative of the bride, Mary Adelaide Goetchius who was born about 1846 in Seneca Falls, Upstate region of NY.
B. Friend of the family as my Mary comes from a family of prominent Dutch Reformed ministers from Ulster county and the CAtskills region of NY or
C. The organist / Reverends wife or Rev's daughter who stands up for couples who only bring 1 witness.
Anyway this Rev is probably related to Rev, Frederick Schroeder Sill who died upstate in 1919, Emiritus of St John's, at Cohoes, NY. born circa 1844
Thanks for Any help?
