I have no idea if the following Gurnseys are of any relation, but I have a
copies of the 1939 and 1964 Corning & Painted Post, NY Directories. I
noticed that Mary Jane Cook was born in Lindley, Steuben Co., NY, and
although she died in Nelson, one never knows if some of the descendents came
into Steuben Co., so, for what its worth, here are the listings, all spelled
Gurnsey:

That's happen to all of us -- If only I'd asked ... about ...
Here's the little I have:
Wm. Guernsey, son of former sheriff H. A. Guernsey, d. Feb. 1880 in
Chicago.
In 1848 he was in the PA militia, but I don't know if he served
in the
Mexican
War. The Mansfield Advertiser death notice said "buried
Wells". Perhaps
Wells
Twp. in Bradford Co.
Wm. married Mary Jane Cook, (1832 - 1894), bur. Nelson. She was the
eldest
child of James Cook, b. 1804 in Lndley, Steuben Co., d. 1893 in
Nelson.
In
1831, James married Rachel Hazlett (1812 - 1893), 2nd child of John
Hazlett
& Jane Campbell. James and Rachel are bur. in Nelson.
I don't know if Wm. and Mary Jane had any children. The Elmira
Star-Gazette
every once in a while has an obit for a Guernsey, so some are still
in the
area,
but I don't know if any (other than Wm.) are related to us.
Perhaps someone on our mail list knows and can elucidate.
