Hi Neal and all other subscribers,
I am Jeanette Carrier Pollard (Adelbert William, Delbert Lyman, Adelbert Warner, George
Lyman, Erastus, Joseph, Andrew, Andrew, Thomas and Martha Allen Carrier)
I've been on the mailing list in the past, but not for about 2 years since I retired.
I am interested in Erastus Carrier, son of Joseph, husband of Celinda Norton. Joseph was
born April 14 , 1784 (CT) and died April 26 1855 (Nunda, NY). He married Celinda Nov 25,
1807 in the East Hampton, CT, Congregational Church. Both were buried in Oakwood
Cemetery, Nunda, NY.
I feel I have an incomplete list of their children. Belinda S.(1817-1842), Clark
(1819-), Melissa A.(1824-1904), Joel A. 1826-1878), George Lyman(1830-1879). I believe
there were 10 children in all. Does anyone out there know of more? I really only have
info on George Lyman since he was my gggrandfather and Melissa who was an unmarried
postmistress in Brooksgrove, Livingston Co, NY. Online you might want to view her house
and post office which were originally attached but detached when they were moved to
Genesee Country Village & Museum in Mumford, NY. Her house serves as the parsonage
for the village. You can access the site by searching on "Melissa Carrier"
"Genesee Country Village" on Google.
There is also an Erastus K. Carrier (1814-1881) married to Sophronia Ellsworth who lived
in Flint, Genesee Co, Michigan. George moved to Genesee Co, Michigan before 1850 and
settled in Gaines, a small villiage. I wonder if Erastus K. was a brother to George?
I would appreciate if anyone has any info. Thanks.
